I remember when US Military was not allowed to train and or be in a organized body in America.
Is it not part of our Consitution??
National Guard is under a different ruling but still -- No Arms Allowed in America's Streets.

Errrrr, Training.....For what not sure but training none the less. Homestead, Key West bases comes to mind. Ya think they're preparing for another Mariel Boat lift operation? Maybe a Hugo Chavez boat lift? Insurrection from the locals? What do you make of it?

Crewchief on OH58D and CH47E for many years while in. A lot of the formations you see or back and forth may be training that is required to maintain status. I know I've jumped out at Key West so I could have my water jump so I'd qualify for Jump Master School. Doesn't mean that we were training to jump onto US coast lines... Just meant that water jumps are required for Master Wings...

You also need formation flight time, aerial refueling if capable, gunnarys, over water time required for ship landings, just many things that could have flight crews pulling flights over Florida.

Or they could be preparing for invasion and subsequent encampment of US citizens.

Article says they are practicing "urban warfare tactics." Also in MN, apparently. It's just that in all my years, I've never seen our military training in our cities. I remember training for "riot control" in 1968, but that was on base.

How does anyone run a "drill" like that without informing the public to begin with? Because they feel it is easier to beg for forgiveness (which they won't) than to ask for permission. It blows over easier than if they let it out ahead of time. These bastards in the government are out of control.
