This I can agree with. In Idaho we have an area the military flies fighter jets through. It's good canyon training.
I am confused as to why they would call these aggressors or enemy territory states???

2) Walmarts are most likely closing to get rid of employees who are trying to get higher pay. And they're covering their backsides with the lie of "plumbing issues."
Seems to me the left would be all over this story.

Of course, you're free to connect the dots in whatever manner you choose.

Carry on.

This administration is all over the place, hard to keep up on all the stuff they want to do to destroy America and Americans.

Sorry, but I make no assumptions. I don't claim anything but I have little to no trust in our Federal Government and economic system which they wish to preserve.

If the conversation is too uncomfortable for you (which is understandable) you don't need to participate.

But there's no need for attacks or insults-nobody is all knowing.

Please read the article and tell us all what are your thoughts on this?

I believe it....
What's to believe? That a bunch of people on the internet, as per the article, are up in arms about standard military exercises?
Okay, that I do believe. As noted in the article, people are extremely distrustful these days and seem to want to believe the worst.

Other than providing a compilation of extreme tweets from around the web-iverse, the article certainly didn't confirm any of these fears. All it did was acknowledge them.

And?

Look, here's one from 2013:

Military Drills and Black Helicopters in U.S. Cities Spark Panic

And, the article notes, they did similar in 2011.

I bet if one were to research this, one could find similar occurrences going back even farther.

Because in war games, somebody has to be the "bad guy."

How the h*ll else to you think training happens?

What ever happened to common sense?
Do you want a prepared military or not?

You asked people to read the article and give their opinions. You also said that you "believe it."

So you believe that people are up in arms.

I said I also believe they are up in arms.

The article gave no credence to what they are up in arms about, however. Just objectively reported that they are.


So, other than be convinced that people are up in arms, what should our take-away be from this thread?

I believe something is going on, that is what I believe....again, go back and read my statements about Walmart closing so many stores....

maybe the whole thing is made up, who knows, I believe that something is going on, and yes indeed our military should be trained....whatever is left of our military.

And as far as your question, you take away whatever you want....
I'm stating my opinion of it all, and the part about the walmarts all closing down, doesn't make any sense

the rest, who the hell knows.

Do you feel people have no reason to be distrustful?
