Is now a good time to panic, or just pee myself?

Ok then why are you calling it Riley? It's Camp Rilea, and Ft Lewis is bigger than what is shown in the photos there. This really shouldn't be a revolution for anyone... just saying. Will post photos later.

I was unaware of a "Camp Rilea"- I thought it was a typo. I apologize for my ignorance on this place.

No apologies needed. I just thought it odd.

These photos don't even begin to capture how extravagant and elaborate the MOUT course is. It's training for urban environments, I wouldn't say American specifically. Just urban environments.

From the pix it looks like they are getting ready to rain down of fat guys - is that one of the future phases of the ACA? Time for me to start chugging slim fast...

You guys don't think US infantry should be trained for urban combat?

If it looks like Europe, Asia or Russia/China/Korea I have no problems with it. Its when it looks too much like middle America is when things don't look good. Remember that USMC Captain who asked back in the 1980's if he ordered his troops to open fire on Americans if they would do it? He was relived of his command if I remember correctly.

People cling to comforting thoughts only.

No one wants to believe the militarized police and the actual military will be turned loose on Americans, but for anyone that has paid attention at all, it is a given. Not if, but when.

After all, we cheered when we saw all the cool high tech goodies, heat guns, sound guns, lasers, advanced thermal, etc because we thought it was for the bad guys 'over there.' Naive.

The 98% won't resist or complain. In fact, they will cheer on their oppressors.

We haven't had to do it for a long time, but someday we're going to have to fight a war on American soil. It'll be the hardest and most important fight we've ever fought- better be ready for it.
