The Democrats are so focused on changing the American way of life they aren't looking behind them or to the southern border where many from foreign countries are entering. The people of the Middle East and Asia are very patient people and more than one soldier have told me after 9-11, there will no doubt be another attack on American soil.

You are very selective. A few unarmed losers rioting that didn't kill anyone themselves is horrible, but an actual successful coup that is destabilizing geopolitics is forgettable because (D).

There is hope you might come to learn what an actual attempted coup looks like. one day.
And we can only hope that you look to look at the bigger picture and not just one days events to see the collective effort to thwart the smooth transition of power that has been the hallmark of our President.

The only story here is MSN stirring the pot.

I didn't focus on one day's events. That event is also destabilizing the world.

We all know which of those 2 groups has been far more dangerous and deadly...

OR Is our military gearing up to battle some extremist terrorist group that has strolled across the open border? We have had hundreds of thousands come across and they are from everywhere with nothing but their word to vouch for them. Imagine 100,000 of these "migrant future Democrat voters" actually being enemy soldiers? It could happen.

Of course more than likely the leaders are being told to fear the Right Wing. The Best way for the Democrats to avoid an uprising is to stop their fraud in elections and actually start working FOR America not against.
What about this is a regular exercise that’s been going on for decades that can’t get around the denseness and we have to read through the drivel of conspiracy theories?

Oh not so fast. It is not the newspaper article that is to blame, for anything here! This article provides truthful information for the public that is required of the military when they are conducting these types of exercises.

Note: Please refer to the title of the article in the major Charlotte N.C paper ( that was disingenuously portrayed and exploited in this thread).
REAL HEADLINE: Guerrilla war exercise to be fought across rural North Carolina counties, Army warns.
The article goes on to explain, when, where, why and how as a safety and public service announcement. Clear as day.

Note: The THREAD TITLE on the other hand that was used to fill the pot is: US Army preparing for trouble
THE ORIGINAL POST used to boil the pot IS:

You may want to think again as to whom is stirring the pot and why.
Hint see post # 9

“To add realism of the exercise, civilian volunteers throughout the state act as role players. Participation by these volunteers is crucial to the success of this training, and PAST trainees attest to the realism they add to the exercise. "

The only thing that is somewhat new, apparently, is it is now required that advance public notice of training exercises be provided after a soldier was killed and another wounded in 2002 when a N.C. county sheriff’s deputy mistook these exercises for criminal activity...per your article.
We've been playing OPFOR at Ft McCoy for years...............

I believe they have openings right now...

How do you define "near future", seeing as this exercise has been executed annually for almost 50 years?

What do you expect "they" to do about capitalism, exactly?

It's not the major news outlet that's "utterly clueless"; it's the OP and the usual band of conspiracy theorists who see Marxists behind every tree, even though they have no idea what a Marxist is.

Training exercises are illegal? Since when?

Did you even read the article provided by the OP?

You mean like dozens and dozens of (failed) lawsuits challenging legal votes and voting procedures?

The only one stirring the pot is the OP and the half dozen or so posters who did not read the link the OP provided.
