Regular poster over there. You would not BELIEVE how many people there are that just don’t believe this. One guy says it’s bee ess because Homeland Security said so.
ISIS are not just some splodeydopes running around dying. They are taking cities, governments and weapons.
Why not start at Fort Bliss, pick up the weaponry and just keep marching north? I think that is how they are rolling in the Middle East, they’d do the same here.
New CG at Fort Bliss assumed command in August and instantly began implementing new security measures, but refused to link the changes to reported ISIS threat. Of course, no one on post believes him.
Former Delta Force Commander Jerry Boykin says there had to be a “stream” of info indicating that Bliss was a target and the incoming CG is determined he won’t be surprised. Ironically, some of the stuff being done at Bliss (upgrading entry points, for example) should have been done years ago. With the expansion of the post over the last eight years, the Army has poured billions into Bliss, but some basic infrastructure (like base gates/entry control points) were largely ignored.
