â??[Obama] has just passed a bill that extends to him and his family protection, around the clock and for life, by the Secret Service. He, evidently, feels that he is best qualified to determine his needs, and, of course, he is. As I am best qualified to determine mine. For it is, again, only the Marxists who assert that the government, which is to say the busy, corrupted, and hypocritical fools most elected officials are (have you ever had lunch with one?) should regulate gun ownership based on its assessment of needs.â??
And to close my point on America’s best interests…
Britain appears to be learning the lesson on disrespectful self-serving immigrants:
"Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has torn up the 2007 editionâ??s section on New Labour, swept away guides to immigrantsâ?? rights and put a new focus on what it means to be British.
The Life in the UK handbook, described by the Home Office as â??essential readingâ?? for migrants sitting the new test from March, will focus on British values, culture and history, as well as the success of Olympic heroes at London 2012.
Out go politically correct sections on how to complain about being arrested and â??mundane information about water metersâ??, and in come â??the events and people who have helped make Britain a great place to liveâ??, ministers said.
Applicants for British citizenship will be expected to answer 75% of 24 questions correctly, based on material in the new guide."
America value your borders, value your language and your culture.
Welcome only those who are willing to show a degree of appreciation and respect for your home.
They say these are Blackhawks, but they’re definitely not. They appear to be OH-6’s from what I can see. The only military force that uses 6’s are SpecOps.
If you haven’t read Dr. Sowell’s work, here is a good start. Here is a man who knows how to apply real-world wisdom to intellectualism and how to convey complex ideas in a way that’s concise and sensible.
By doing some off-the-beaten-path research, Awr Hawkins from Breitbart.com found some interesting info about the Department of Homeland Security.
Apparently, an AR-15 is only an “assault weapon” in the hands of U.S. Citizens. If someone from DHS is holding one, it is a “Personal Defense Weapon” (PDW), even if it’s capable of full-auto fire.
And they’ve ordered 7000 of them for domestic use!!

It’s hostage rescue training, only a couple SOF units have that written into their METL[Mission Essential Task List].

Why not? It offers great a great training experience for those involved. The better prepared someone is to perform a task the better that person will be at it. I read about a Ranger that did something similar, training exercises in an abandoned prison and also an abandoned middle school, and he said he felt it prepared him more than just going to the shoot house.

The government spends millions of dollars every year building replicas of urban areas so they’ll have somewhere to train. They do not need to train in civilian areas.

Training facilities on a military base are necessary. However, something like training at an abandoned hotel in a heavily populated area like Miami, Florida isn’t going to be recreated on a base. It’s the same with something like Robin Sage, that can’t be recreated on a base.

Bullshit. Even if there was a protocol for urban NOE flight training, it wouldn’t include firing blanks over the heads of civilians without warning.[/quote]
The people in the area know well in advance that it’s going to happen, they just don’t know the exact time. It wouldn’t be practical for USSOCOM to disclose the exact time, date and location for a training exercise.
