Developing! Feds prepare to "INVADE" Texas

Jade Helm, the search feature is your friend.

Well yes, already knew that. The point is that it is a little alarming these days. Are do you trust this government?

I don't trust the FED, but this is an exercise that has been going on for YEARS. They're just moving it from NC to TX.

But right after we legalized open carry? timing seems a little suspect

I agree that it could be nothing, but better to be aware of it

Do they often dress up in civ clothes?

Open carry hasn't fully passed yet and a couple states already have it, so how is TX different?

I agree to watch them like hawks, but it is just training.

And agreed... as every day moves on, I trust the feds less and less. And with Obama removing so many officers that would cause him trouble.

I dunno, just makes me more nervous these days.

All the time. It's called SF (uncoventional) and OPFOR.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

An opposing force (abbreviated OPFOR, used in the United States and Australia) or enemy force (used in Canada) is a military unit tasked with representing an enemy, usually for training purposes in war game scenarios. The related concept of aggressor squadron is used by some air forces. The United States maintains the Fort Irwin National Training Center with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment serving in the main OPFOR role. Other major units include the First United States Army which consists of 16 training brigades that often also serve as OPFOR. Fort Polk's Joint Readiness Training Center is another major training site typically reserved for units that are slated to deploy into conflict areas.

At a basic level, a unit might serve as an opposing force for a single scenario, differing from its 'opponents' only in the objectives it is given. However, major armies commonly maintain specialized groups trained to accurately emulate real-life enemies, to provide a more realistic experience for their training opponents. (To avoid the diplomatic ramifications of naming a real nation as a likely enemy, training scenarios often use fictionalized versions with different names but similar military characteristics to the expected real-world foes.)

I know other states have it, but living here I know we have a huge target on our backs from obama

lol Good luck with that. Do you realize how many gun owners live in Texas? They wouldn't make it through the front gates.

I'm from the Austin area and I hear you, but it's more than likely nothing. Wait and see...

Probably not. But they need to be watched these days. Carefully.

thought it was a violation of Federal law to transport Military weapons in a civilian car, by Military personnel ????

Uh no and whomever told you that was dumb.

Why don't they just re-invade the south and get rid of all the foodstampers? Solve a lot of issues.
