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.
He’s making us weak . He has a dirty plan for Americans . Where are the generals at . Why are they not doing something .
since the national guard is part of the state this is illegial and if the state says no then they cannot take the Helos.
He is a weak president compared to the prime minister of Israel ( Netanyahu) and Putin of Russia who exude strength and cleverness and a strong leader of their country.
Thats realy gona help protect the homeland HUH?
The Military had better decide this,Obama has no training in this field and that puts us all in danger.
HE IS A P.O.S.
And the question remains, WHY is he being allowed to do this ? Where are our GOOD LEADERS ??
To our military’s General Officers.
I know that a man does not have to stand tall, but I also know that there comes a point in time when a man does have to at least stand up.
We The People of America, remember us?
Another Communistic move to control those of us who have a mind of our own and are willing and alb to fight for what we have done already in the past. Stand for freedom against all threats foreign and domestic. We took our Oath deadly serious.
Melva , all Obama and this Admin. is doing is getting ready for the NEW world order , it is in the Bible, Obama is setting the stage for a war that is coming and a world leader that MOST will believe and follow into destruction , He will be controlled by Satan and have power that we have never seen, until God destroys him, America and much of the world has turned our back on God and we are paying the price for that, ALL nations way back that forgot God were destroyed and turned to being their own god , that is where America is today, we think we don`t need God and everything about the true and living God is being hated , wrong is now right and right is wrong.
