Marines Attack Ohio

Thanks to Google Alerts I found this today.

Why are Marines Training in US Neighborhoods?

The Toledo Blade is reporting that the US Marine Corps is again conducting urban warfare training exersizes in the streets of the USA, this time attacking downtown office buildings in Toledo, Ohio.

Are we to believe that this is to help them in their imperial mission overseas? That downtown office buildings in Ohio more closely resemble the terrain in Iraq than custom built taxpayer set pieces on the hundreds of bases around this country?

Or is it simply that they want the soldiers and citizens to get used to seeing each other in such circumstances?

Fear and paranoia are abounding…
Now Scott stay at least 30 yards away from the Marine with the gun!

    “They asked that citizens stay 30 yards from any Marines taking part in the exercise”

    VERY good advice! LOL

    Scott needs to stay away from the Marine with the rifle. Scott would not need to fear the Marine’s gun. Only Scott’s sister.
