[Reptile]

Nothing calms the public quite like gunfire in heavily populated areas. Nevertheless, the U.S. Army has plans to do just that starting August 30th and continuing to September 12th in 21 select counties in North Carolina.

US Army Tries To Calm Residents About Upcoming Wave Of Military Drills In North Carolina

Red Dawn?

 

[Hustler One]

JFC... not this fear mongering shit again. Literally everyone in NC is secretly a spy with the Peoples Republic of Pineland.

My testosterone level dropped while reading that article.

I’m wondering if this is typical journalistic license (bullshit) or if this death was actually because some idiot thought it was real and killed a soldier.

“Efforts to calm the public ahead of time come after some past tragic incidents where at least one soldier died and mass panic ensued after a similar exercise was thought to be a real event.”

IN!
When that happens around here Ima grab lawn chairs, a cooler and my 2 sons and go enjoy the show!

The military has been touching on the idea of urban specific tactics, gear and units since the 90's. Given how destructive it is I would imagine that operations like that are counterproductive to whatever strategic goal they have in mind. Here's another fun article on the topic.

Omg!! Is Alex Jones all over this? This fake drill must be cover for an actual military takeover and martial law.

and our government is hell bent on disarming the civilian population.

China has more members in their military then we have people in our country. (might be slightly exaggerated, but you get the idea.)

And they think if something happened that our military and law enforcement would be able to handle it on their own....lmfao...

Our government is doing with gun control what no other nation on the planet can do, disarm the American civilian population.

The most feared unknown element in our country because even though our enemies know the have guns they have no idea how many of us have them and how many each of us has.

I think it is because of zombies.

I think it is because of zombies.

Or aliens

I think it is because of zombies.

USSTRATCOM already put together a plan called CONPLAN 8888-11 in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Exclusive: The Pentagon Has a Plan to Stop the Zombie Apocalypse. Seriously.

So all the bases and fake towns built by the government are not good enough for training?

PLA: 2.5 million (including reserves)
US population: 327 million

Yeah, only slightly exaggerated. Only 13,000% fewer people.

Now, the U.S. has 2.2 million service members (including reserves). That’s only a 14% advantage in military service members for the U.S. They do have considerably more service eligible citizens than the U.S., but they can’t outfit them all.

 

[AllaSnackbah]

this is click bait bullshit, there are towns out there that are built on the business of acting as role players for robin sage and other such exercises.

It is odd that this "drill" is going to be starting around the time that Tropical Storm Dorian will be just off the Florida coast either heading North or making landfall in FL.

Super odd that the military will be training in the rain. Unheard of.

 

[Gator9329]

Excellent time for local militia preparedness drill. By the way, who is the keeper of the "go time" clock now? I think Michael Jr is gone

 

[Horrible]

Mass shooting scheduled in NC shortly after to push forward all of the left’s wettest dreams of gun control

Yeah, because large exercises planned months to a year in advance can be planned to coincide with a specific storm. Or are you saying the DoD has a weather machine like some sort of Bond villain?

And our citizens are armed.........for now....

Do the word Halliburton ring a bell? Maybe Chaney rented it out.

*******Correct!

They are nothing like a real multi-trillion dollar city, no.

Goddamn Krasnovian scum.

TX and PA have ~700k licensed hunters each. Toss in WI and MN and just four states have as many hunters (not gun owners, just hunters) as China has in its army. Top 10 states with the most hunters total ~5.5mil. Even NY has over half a million hunters.

Exactly, this shit is planned at least a year in advance
