A friend of mine brought this to my attention , I don't have a clue how to add a link so I'll just ask if your interested , Google Operation Jade Helm 2015.

Is this training like they say or is it ( practice ) , don't we have military bases to conduct these type of ( training ops ) ? 

Seams fishy but I don't really trust ( them ).

Look it up and post your thoughts.

I was a soldier for 26 years or so.  Signal.  While stationed at Ft Carson (Colo Springs) in the early 80's, we would go "down range" on Fort Carson and do training exercises.  The Infantry brigades would sometimes come and sometimes it was just us.  We got so good that we didn't need maps anymore, we called all our locations by name like Saw Tooth Mountain, Agony, Misery and Artillery Hill and so on.

We got permission to do an exercise in the Rocky Mountain National Park, and that was really cool.  Had to do recon, site survey, mapping and so on, as well ans perfect our spark arrestors on our generators and all our vehicles.  We had to practice "zero impact" on the National Forest ecosystem.  We got to practice lots of things for our intended mission of war in Germany against the (then) Eastern Bloc.

Nothing nefarious about it.  I have trained in the Utah desert, the Georgia mountains, Arkansas, Colorado, Texas, California, New York and Florida.  Most of it on post, but then some of it not on post.

I've never worn a tin-foil hat, but I wore a steel and later a Kevlar helmet, ate a lot of C's and MRE's, and even taught National Guard and Reserves "crowd control" while I was a Drill Sergeant.

But I've never ever gotten the feeling that my Army would ever march against American Civilians.

Here is aquote from one article I found with Google:

“You’re going to have thousands of troops here buying groceries, and the military’s going to be buying fuel in the area,” he said.
Army Special Operations Command representatives could not confirm if Jade Helm personnel will purchase supplies locally."

 To think that "... thousands of troops here buying groceries.." tells me whomever wrote that knows nothing at all about military training.


But if it bother's you, I hear the Canadian borders are still open.

thank you for your input , I wasn't sure if this was internet conspiracy running rampant or if there was something to it. Thanks.

With over 20yrs in the Military, I know lots of things go on that 99.9% of the people know nothing about....including Military members. The chance of a Military takeover is to remote to even think about, let alone plot a reaction. One thing I am firmly sure of, if it were ever to happen you would not read about it on the internet in advance.

I live 15 miles from Ft. Indiantown Gap in PA.  The national guard attacks the lake I live on every year with apache's.   They don't land, but they do make runs right over the lakes.  I never worried about it.  Still don't.  You could easily convince me that any of the three branches of government would be out to do something wacky.  But you'll never convince me our soldiers would accept those orders.

Used to hunt deer from a stand that B1 bombers took regular runs over.  Never seemed to bother the deer, but the ground shook sometimes.  Figure I must have been blown up at least 100 times, theorectically. 

If there was a military coup it would be unlikely that anybody on the internet would know, including a lot of military.  The US seems nowhere close to this, but would keep a watchful eye for rampaging Canadians.
