Much of the infantry fighting in Iraq was house to house urban combat.

People assume this training is about them....what happens when the gang bangers in Baltimore or any major US city start shooting cops en mass instead of throwing rocks...who is going to be called on to quell a city on fire full of armed gang bangers?

Oh yeah....the Military and National guard.

There are more troops stationed in Texas than the entire Jade Helm exercise of 1200.

This exercise should be about gaining control of all the mosques and their adherents here in the US. That would be more rational than targeting vets returned to the civilian population.

At Ft Campbell they had an entire neighborhood of mock houses built so they could train urban warfare. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s better trying to do a mock up than going in cold.

Do I trust the government? No. Would I put it past an Obama-type character to attempt an overthrow. I would not.

But, I also know what Army training looks like. Moreover, the guys I knew in SpecOps would NEVER have participated in a takedown of their own people. When they bled it was red, white, and blue.

Interesting. Military n domestic law enforcement. Guess Posse Comitatus is basically over.
