Could the central socialist government preparing to go to war against Americans?

[MeganC]

More likely they’re just planning to respond to floods and earthquakes. It’s what they’re supposed to do and with military recruitment falling off they need to hire civilians to backfill non-military roles.

As part of Obunghole’s nuclear deal with Iran, they will test one of their ICBM’s on us. O******* has chosen several red states.

[Tax-chick]

The Corps of Engineers has employed civilians in a wide variety of roles for decades, just as all other DoD branches do. I was a typist for the CoE in the mid-80s, when I was a college student. Later I was a typist for the Air Force.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I think a more accurate way of stating that would be “could the central socialist government be finally openly admitting its long standing war against Americans?”

[kevslisababy]

Yes, maybe they think someone will actually cut budgets.

[pfflier]

The Corps of engineers has always had a civil service component to compliment the active duty Army element. That is nothing new although the mix may be shifting more to civil service employees.

The COE maintains dams and waterways on the rivers in the US. Nothing new there in the job description either.

Disaster stricken areas of the U.S., WTF does that mean?

It means if there is a widespread event such as a hurricane or ice storm or earthquake or some such event.
Jeez, take the tin foil hat off.

[C210N]

important to note that the position may extend up to “four years”...

What a relief to know that Øbama is planning to limit his time to only one extra "term".

[rarestia]

I was fishing 5 miles off the west Florida coast over the weekend, and there were at least a dozen sorties flown over us by everything from Hueys to tankers. You get used to seeing this stuff as a Floridian, esp. with MacDill being so close, but in this day and age, it chills me to the bone thinking there are men (and women) up there potentially training their weapons on my boat while I peacefully fish.

[Old Sarge]

Pingeroo?

[OwenKellogg]

NJCT ping

[Paulie]

Seeing as 0bama said we could absorb a terrorist attack, maybe things went better than planned for Valerie and it now looks like several attacks simultaneously are in the cards.

[hosepipe]

Obama is PUNISHMENT to the United States..
AND he’s “Jonesing” for civilian anarchy..

Will probably get it... i.e. SHTF.....

[HomerBohn]

It could mean more than a ‘simple’ hurricane.

Read Matt Bracken’s Trilogy.

[HomerBohn]

Who are you typing for now, and what do you make an hour?

[cripplecreek]

We should have kept civil defense up and running.

They were local people who knew the people, knew their potential problem areas, and could respond immediately.

[GOPJ]

...that “employees” will be required to respond to “disaster stricken areas of the US”. Did I miss something? Disaster stricken areas of the U.S., WTF does that mean?

Any idea Sarge?

[mad_as_he$$]

Actually the Corps(in this country) relies on Army personnel very little. When I lived in TN there was massive Corps project all over. Never saw an active duty person ever, except for the ones that were fishing on their own time.

[cripplecreek]

The Soo locks in MI are under the jurisdiction of the USACE but they don’t actually work there.

At most they monitor things over the internet. They do control the website and if you go to it you’ll get a warning.
