Didn't see any posts here about it so thought I would.

Judging by the look on that cat's face, I'd sleep with one eye open!

Had to put something on this site to stir the pot. this site seems to be dying slowly. Used to be pretty active.

Too much education seems to be just as bad as not enough

I'm sure Jade Helm is merely a training exercise.

It sure as hell looks like a training exercise on how to suppress a rebellious population though.

Approx 20,000 cities/towns in the US
Active duty Army: 490,000
Active Duty Marines: 194,000
Total: 684,000
That means you can put 24 soldiers in each of those towns/cities. That might work if your town had 100 people in it. But 294 of those cities have populations over 100,000. 10 cities have over a million. And a whole bunch have pops over 800,000.

a team of 24- 1 guy? nobodies 'mobilized', we aren't even allowed to think about it. in fact I'll be in trouble for pointing out that you are wrong. they could easily shut down anything...what are those section things called again? theres like ten of them? without power or food which are both controlled and not being allowed to even think of being an organised cohesive capable militia with anywhere near the same level of weaponry.

the silliest thing is Whole cities would become disposable. who has the capacity to deflect bombs? they can't do that because then everyone would band together?(like cattle).

stirring the pot. :oops:

You might be thinking of the US Federal Court Circuits, of which there are eleven, plus a few special districts such as D.C.

Though oddly enough there isn't afaik one single "Federal" grouping for all purposes. For example, the Federal Reserve has different zones:

And the US Census has their own groupings:

no it was the dhs/fema zones.

whatever.
if we we the people were in charge...we wouldn't be worried

they'll just be a few enemies? like in Boston what are you going to do but watch from your window? I know thats what I'll do

silly to even suggest #s would make a difference against even a small battalion with armored etc etc.
