Was there a job ad like this under George W. Bush?
Here’s the job ad.
I guess it is all in how you define “Internment” and “Resettlement” Why have a whole job category for a few terrorist here and there?
For those who have not been in the military epically our Canadian friends this is the description for the 31E MOS been around for a long time and easy to verify with a 2 second Google search. For you civilians out there the military talks funny...
This is health care reform. Free!!! Come on folkes. Free education and free food and free health. (sarc off)
You know, I don’t believe every German person was evil and maniacal. Somehow though, they managed to do what no rational person would ever think they would do in an irrational time.
I never thought I’d see the President call a police officer stupid for arresting his friend on national TV during a press conference. I never thought I’d see members of an administration encourage people to bring a ‘gun to a knife fight’, or ‘get in their face’, or even use terms like ‘punch back’ when encouraging their base to work on a bill they wanted passed.
There are a lot of things that have occured in the past six months that even I couldn’t comprehend, even as bad as I imagined Obama to be. He has surpassed anything I ever imagined. So it’s not unreasonable when we see actual ads for our military for ‘interrment camps’ to become a little frightened.
I would HOPE our military would fight back against these orders, but forgive me for not being as confident as I was 7 months ago.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but I'm really getting tired of seeing people on this website accusing our military of recruiting people to throw them in reeducation camps as they risk their lives defending freedom. This is not a job directly under White House supervision. You are accusing our current military leadership of condoning and actively supporting the internment and reeducation of our citizenry.
As in the above quote, the job qualifications require the ability to communicate with the expected prisoners.
Yet they do not appear to require proficiency in other languages. So it must be that they expect the "individual prisoners" to be english speaking.
It isn't too hard to connect these dots, is it?
"Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish at least six national emergency centers on military installations to use existing infrastructure to provide: (1) temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster; and (2) centralized locations for the training of first responders and the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
"Lists minimum requirements for sites for such centers, including that they be capable of: (1) meeting for an extended period the housing, health, transportation, education, public works, humanitarian, and other transition needs of a large number of individuals affected; (2) being scaled up or down to accommodate major disaster preparedness and response drills, operations, and procedures; (3) housing existing permanent structures necessary to meet training and first responders coordination requirements during non-disaster periods; and (4) hosting the infrastructure necessary to rapidly adjust to temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance needs.
"Sets forth center location requirements, including requiring the Secretary to designate closed military installations as sites whenever possible and to designate portions of existing military installations as centers otherwise."
If its stalled, then why are they recruiting people?
You are accusing our current military leadership of condoning and actively supporting the internment and reeducation of our citizenry.
Please show me where I did that.
I am asking questions. Just like alot of other folks.
They have been recruiting people for these jobs on and off for several years, beginning in the Bush administration. The legislation you cited is to authorize (not fund) construction. It does not deal with National Guard recruiting in any way, authorization or appropriation, indeed, it does not mention it at all.
“........ I believe much of the National Guard is there because they hold freedoms of US citizens at the very heart of their enlistments.”
I would hope that what you say is true. However, the thread seems to be revolving around what the National Guard would actually DO in such a situation. As an arm of the government, that could include executing unconstitutional measures against the country’s own citizens. Would the NG actually follow such orders?
Historically, the west coast US citizens of Japanese extraction might speak to what the military has done in the past. The outlines of those internmnent camps (they were NOT POW camps), can still be seen from the air in eastern Colorado. It has not been that long ago since the rights of US citizens were violated by their government through the actions of the military. Unfortunately, I am not nearly as optimistic about the NG’s concern for individual rights (though some within the ranks might decide to have nothing to do with such orders, I fear that the majority would comply as they have in the past).
Maybe they’d come through shining, but history does not support such a blue sky assumption.
This is not a "story that has appeared before".
This is an actual ad from monster.com.
Its all tied together. Considering the current administration, I don’t trust them to adhere to the ‘magnanimous’ intent of the bill, do you?
Of course, blind faith that the government is the final arbiter of what is a threat to the Constitution was implicit. I would venture to say that it was inconceivable to these guys that they themselves might be the 'domestic threat' referred to in the Constitution.
