First of all, let me say that the protests, resistance and demonstrations involved with this training operation is due to the fear of the current administration. Most of America knows that we now have a president that wishes to be dictator. Fact is he thought he was being elected dictator and was very disappointed when not given god-like power on is inauguration. His hostility toward our present congress and our Constitution is due to their efforts to restrain him. He is what our founding fathers wrote the Constitution to prevent.
Second, we have a law in this nation called the Posse Comatadius which was passed as part of the negotiations that ended the "Reconstruction" period after our Civil War. For more than a decade after the CW the southern states were ruled by military government under a state of permanent martial law. Trials were in military court under code of military justice and not jury trial. Voting rights were stripped from the population and the south was treated as a defeated colonial region. (The remnants of this system were still in operation 100 years after the end of the War in the form of restrictive shipping rates and federal taxation on various products.)
At the end of that period one of the laws demanded was that US troops would never be used to police US citizens again. US troops are not to engage in "combat operations" inside the borders of the US, or even in riot control. That is the duty of the National Guard or police.
The people protesting the present operations see the training as "practice" for taking control of the population and installing martial law. We have very large military bases here where this training could be done, and the troops involved in this "training" have had plenty of experience in real life urban combat and resettlement zones and really do not need any "practice" on the streets of our cities. Each military base in the US has a small "city" attached to it occupied by the dependents and families of the troops where this training would be normal daily life. They do not need to take over the local Walmart.
I must point out that US troops practice and train in a multitude of scenarios constantly. I was given urban guerilla warfare, riot control and population suppression training when I was in service in the 1970s. However, all that training was done on a military base and not across the wide ranging countryside in the midst of the general population.
During WW2 it was different and troops trained on private land in large scale maneuvers in preparation for the European invasion, using US terrain that was similar to what they would encounter in Europe. But we knew what that effort was about and it was Red forces against Blue forces, not US Special Forces against rebels in their own land.
US troops move across the highways in convoy on a regular basis, troops blend with the population while in uniform with a great deal of respect. Due to the present conflicts there are few of us that do not have someone in our families or a close friend in uniform. This is not fear of the military, it is fear of the Federal Administration.
The troops also know the law! They are aware that they are not to engage against US citizens. Our troops swear an oath of allegiance to the Constitution, not to the president or any member of state.
In order to evade this, our current president has formed a private army by use of the "enforcement powers" of the executive branch. The largest police force in world history. Even our National Weather Service has an "enforcement branch" which is fully armed and militarized and answers directly to the President.
Each Cabinet level department has an armed response force and they number in the tens of thousands and have purchased BILLIONS OF ROUNDS OF AMMO in the past 6 years.
What the people fear is that the present training is "practice". Use the troops to sweep through responding to a false flag event, disarm the population under noble pretenses, then have the Administration's private army (Federal Police Force) secure the areas much like to old Soviet Union operated in Eastern Europe.
Round up possible resistance, inter them in concentration camps, crush all civil authority and any political opposition.
We are aware of the power and allegiance of our military, we are aware of the power of our police forces (which we keep weak purposely), what we fear is the intent of our current president and the minions around him.
Yes, the people smell a stink.
And do not miss the intent with continuation of the exercises in Texas.
Texas is one of the strongest conservative areas of the nation and has been a constant opposition to Obama's agenda.
There has even been a small secessionist movement in that state. In fact, most of the planned exercises were scheduled in states with strong conservative population bases.
They are being shown that the Federal Government is still boss and Obama is still in charge.
