When did it become accepted practice for our military to use our populated areas as their private training grounds?

[quote:psyoptics:MV8xOTcyNTUzXzMzMTI2MDE1XzI3RjFDMjEx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 22025063:MV8xOTcyNTUzXzMzMTIxOTk5Xzc0OTgwNzA0] Okay, so I'm not trying to shill here... but ah... are you serious? The military is using populated areas for PRIVATE training? I could take issue with that statement all day. Also... I have personally (along with tens of thousands of others who have served in participating JSOC units) 'invaded' LAX's cargo terminal twice in my life in simulated combat jumps into a 'high density urban environ'. There are only so many times one can use Wheeler Sac Air Field as a target for training... eventually you have to train as you would fight, and that means annual training exercises in real world environs. So, where have you been? [/quote] [b]stop right there![/b] [b][b]no no the US military does not have the right to freaking bring their freaking high freaking tech toys, tanks, and freaking BLACK HAWK freaking helicopters into my city...on my block.[/b][/b] NO....[b]FREAKING NO[/b]! NO just NO. we did not need to do this during WWI or WWII or for any of the missions we did in Europe or anywhere else in the world over the many years. so now because we are invading cities in the middle east....we need to play war games in FREAKING DOWNTOWN Minneapolis? [b] NO![/b] if this is because the need to train to become the oppressor / occupier of yet another county....then.... DON'T GO THERE! OR then kindly return the FREAKING 170 million dollars for the new high tech mock city where they can even land FREAKING black hawk helicopters on the roofs! please give it all back! what is going to happen the first time there is a equipment failure and one of these high tech toys takes out a building? [b]this is America...... WHERE THE FREAK HAVE YOU BEEN. [/b] [/quote]

i do not remember in my 49 years the US military using populated areas...cities, suburbs, and small towns as their own training facilities!
why?
in my lifetime we have been in wars which would have included urban areas.
Black Hawk helicopters’ war games in downtown Minneapolis

Low-flying Black Hawk helicopters conducted military training exercises in downtown Minneapolis Monday night, hovering majestically outside of apartment windows of surprised local residents
hovered outside their windows and flew over the city

Black Hawk helicopters were first introduced by the military in 1979
they have been used in many battles for many years
so why now must they do this.
they are not having the residents leave...no they are just bringing in the heavy equipment.
low flying helicopters this time...
one would think training black hawk pilots how to fly in urban areas by sending them into a city...then have them fly down low in between the buildings is not very safe....
this is training...what if there is a failure with a craft....where is it going down? who is walking there or sitting in the building?
what are they doing....
training the people what to do when they see these kinds of operations in their area....and at the same time training our military for operations in these areas?
this is not a good sign.
