"Exercises" like THIS ONE scare the hell out of me.

As an ex Grunt, I see the need for training to specific types of operations, and Urban Operations are among the toughest assignments any military unit has to engage in. Training saves lives, of both the soldiers and the civilians engaged in any conflict. Having said that, something about this training exercise makes my skin crawl. My gut tells me there is more involved, and in my years as a LEO I learned to trust my gut. There are times that there are subtle hints that you are not consciously aware of that warn you of danger, and my spider sense is tingling all over this one.

Yeah, I know it makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I wouldn't trust ANY Administration with this type of power, much less a Socialist one like Obama's. Posse Comitatus was put into place to prevent any political entity in the U.S. from arbitrarily using troops to perform Police functions.

Ask yourself WHY they would find a need to train for such activity unless they are planning to use it in the near future? Given Mr. Obama's past record on gun control, and even more importantly, the past history of his appointee for AG on gun control, doesn't it strike just a little twinge of fear that this might just be a rehearsal for the future; or if nothing else, a trial balloon to see how it floats with the American public?

Only time will tell, but, remember, "just because you're paranoid doesn't necessarily mean that there is no one out to get you.", and in the case of our rights as free people, I believe a little paranoia is healthy if you want to keep those rights intact.
