Obama has ordered the Defense Department to confiscate 192 Apaches from National Guard units around the country and give them to the active duty Army – replacing them with transport helicopters.
You remember Obama’s promise to raise an army to protect the homeland that’s just as powerful as the military? Yea, that didn’t include the National Guard.
Apparently these weapons are just too powerful for the National Guard to have. In exchange for the heavily armed and highly maneuverable Apaches, the Guard will receive 111 UH-60 Blackhawk transport helicopters from the Army.
So the administration has purchased 2 billion rounds of ammunition through DHS, has been placing tanks and other war machines into the hands of local law enforcement all over the country, enacted draconian laws like NDAA that strips us of our Constitutional rights, spying on Americans by any means possible, crazy gun control laws are being passed, conservative groups attacked by the IRS and members being declared terrorists…do I have keep going? Is it not obvious where we are headed??
Are you awake yet??? WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
The National Guard is following a direct order — but it’s not happy with it.
All of the Guard’s AH-64 Apache helicopters are scheduled to go to the active Army, and there’s nothing its top brass can do about it.
“None of us like what we’re having to do,” National Guard Chief Gen. Frank Grass told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, the military website Defense One reported. “My big concern right now is figuring out how I’m going to move, and how many states I’m going to have an impact on, and what’s the cost of facilities and to retrain pilots. I’ve got to tackle that because the decision’s been made.”
Air Force Maj. Shannon Thomas, a spokeswoman for the Guard, reiterated the general’s position, the Army Times reported.
“These are very difficult decisions and there will be more difficult ones yet to come,” she said. “His focus now is to determine the impacts and how best to implement the decision.”
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno told members of Congress on Tuesday that the move will save $12 billion through fiscal year 2017, Defense One reported.
When the logistics are worked out, the Army’s fleet of OH-58 Kiowa helicopters will be divested, its newly acquired Apaches will fill its reconnaissance and scouting needs, and the National Guard will be given UH-60 Black Hawks.
Advocates of the Army’s decision say that the Black Hawks actually benefit the Guard because they are an incredible asset for disaster relief efforts.
When will our military who took an oath to protect the constitution take this so called President out!!!
Obama is trying to protect himself, he knows he is in trouble
wouldn’t want the guard to stand with their states when he crowns himself king now would we.
the time to act is upon us. ..much longer and it will be to late
He is scared he won’t be able to control the people or the Guard! Afraid he will be arrested for treason!

Not with a bang but a whimper.”

Scary, I just can’t believe that it’s happening and some people are COMPLETELY blind to it. Everyone keeps saying “shut up an do something”, well other than write to the senators, who do nothing, what is there to do? So many talk about another revolutionary war, I don’t care how many armed civilians there are, there won’t be enough firepower to out-do the weapons the gov’t has……….such as these Apaches. We are so screwed.
Obama has plans for us
Sure he is doing this so that we have no defense against his agenda he wants to be the ruler of America.He need to be impeached come on America send him packing back to his home land .
Taking power away piece by piece
