Well tough, now they can say they have seen their military practice and they should be proud of the dedication that they are putting into training. I thought you Cons were all pro-military, why you so afraid of them all of a sudden?

You will never admit to or ever see any wrongdoing by the left because you are so blinded by partisan politics.

"tough" on those residents because the military wants to practice shooting from helicopters on US soil ?
You could care less because the people in charge are Dems.
If Bush were President the outrage would be marching in DC over this.

It does make you wonder, doesn't it?

I live a few miles from Buckley AFB and the jets fly over my house every weekend.

I love seeing my tax dollars at work.

Nevermind, I went back and reread the original article. I am sure people just ignored any warnings that were given.
What would you likely do if you heard any warnings about something like that? I would try very hard to forget about it thinking that it just couldn't happen. I bet that if the woman had had any warning all the gunfire would have brought it back to her memory.

You did read the remark by the person at the end about if it was good for our kids it was ok. That has a very Obama sound to it, to me.

That sounds a lot like Obama, blame someday else for it whatever it is.

Actually not everybody watches the proper TV channel all the time. Of course the public safety director may have just let it slide or he/she may have thought there was no sense in scaring the hell out of the people.

Those poor people on the south side of Chicago may well be used to gunshots but not from low flying helicopters. They almost know the sound of warfare but not like that.

I doubt it.
Last year in Wisconsin, troops and equipment returning from Iraq, and the alarmists came out of the woodwork and claimed the military was going to take over whole neighborhoods at the orders of Obama. I'm still waitin'.

So are you now anti military or just now afraid of the military? You can send them to war but god forbid they practice at home.

Do you just make stuff up to pacify yourself and feel smug ?
You know nothing about me.
