Obscured by Jon Stewart’s well-publicized mockery of Texans’ reaction to Jade Helm 15—the US Army’s two-month-long exercise across nine states scheduled to begin in July—is the fact that the criticisms may not all be deranged droolings.

It was pretty loud inside our well insulated concrete tip up building...
nationwide martial law means suspension of elections and arresting any politician or person they disagree with
The US standing Army is a small as it has ever been been compared to the size of the population. The US Army couldn’t enforce martial law on New Jersey let alone he entire USA.
