Good to see that the Gov of Texas has eyes on this sinister undertaking by the US Military,lol What a bunch of kooks he's catering to! Even Chuck Norris thinks something is up with this exercise, and if he thinks something is wrong, you know its got to be true!

What if there is a natural disaster, a terrorist dirty bomb, or a real live war? That's not the time to try to start learning how to restore order.

Shouldn't the years of deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq provided enough practice at war and 'restoring order'?

The locals refused to coroporate in those examples. They need somewhere easier to practice.

True, because none of those soldiers have left the military since serving there.

wolf_howl15 It's simple really...

Congress allots them a budget every year and they have to use it or it will get cut next year.

No better or easier way to blow a budget.

If that was the case, they would have made blue the enemy.

So, any word on how Jade Helm is going? Are the black helicopters aloft? Have they stormed the Alamo yet? Have all the Texas Walmarts been turned into Fema death camps? Has Sharia Law been implemented?

I for one welcome my new Jade Helm masters. Hopefully, there will be unlimited access to authentic Texas BBQ for all.

Now if only they sold MANPADs and ATGMs it might be worth a damn.
