Could be a slack unit and they have just not marked them though. Heres a question that relates to this and other threads.
Why is it that so many members feel the need to make SA comments on pretty much every topic or members posts? I would think that we would be glad to look at all information and reports and decide as adults whether or not to read it or move on without trying to make ourselves feel better by demeaning others?
Agreed, one reason I don't post much anymore. Too many have this problem with reading comprehension, unless, its their own writing, and impressing upon us their own superior knowledge... but the search for truth?
I agree with weps summation of the situation as accurate, the question being, WHY are they distributing this equipment out in the middle of nowhere, instead of these big wide open army bases where there are plenty of personnel to maintain and guard them. Because they are being redistributed to NG outfits, or back into reserve outfits? State militias? or... for a more nefarious plan? I prefer to think the military I ETS'd out of, is still the same, but I'm not a fool either.
Some years ago, there were reports of officers being moved around, with implied 'loyalty' problems, then reports of enlisted being asked if they would follow orders to kill civilians with indications of whole units rebelling... I treat all these 'reports' with a grain of salt, until... something comes along to prove there might be some substance to them. Like recent reports of TSA going to go out 'on the roads', where would they get massive quantities of 'equipment' on short notice?
If I run up on a road block in the near future, with armored humvees and black suits with TSA badges wanting to 'touch my junk', then, we are going to flip a switch... I won't be able to stop myself, I already know it... there will be a situation, that will cause me to 'put my boots back on', and as an old vietnam vet, I don't remember anybody unoathing me. So whether its "your papers please" or registrations/confiscations, I'm afraid those JBT's are going to be in for a nasty surprise, since the law of the land, makes them the Traitors and playing defense is a losing game.
At this point, I put nothing past this 'administration'... <spit>.
“...—when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you—when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice—you may know that your society is doomed.”-Ayn Rand
