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 $12 billion through fiscal year 2017, Defense One reported.
When the logistics are worked out, the Army’s fleet of OH-58 Kiowa helicopters will be divested, its newly acquired Apaches will fill its reconnaissance and scouting needs, and the National Guard will be given UH-60 Black Hawks.
Advocates of the Army’s decision say that the Black Hawks actually benefit the Guard because they are an incredible asset for disaster relief efforts.
Yall do it you as gulty as he is.
Most Americans are either no informed or too stupid to wake up. They rather believe and drink Odumba koolaide at the expense of the informed or real American people… we r fukked!
Who’s misinformed/ how is moving helicopters to the Army who can actually make use of them a problem/ You have to give more details to your point. what is so bad about this and why. no hand wavy. no hand wavy wavy. facts, details, arguments only people.
Not good!!!
so whats he up to now I know its nothing good
Hmmm…
So the Defense Department refuses to comply just like the Gun owners in several states and each state department take control of the 192 Apache War ships for protect and self defense against the federal government.Each State declare or call in extra National Guard to stop the feds from taking then.$#%&!@* OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya don’t want the National Guard too heavily armed!!! they could just turn against the Obama Regime! Wake up Americans.
that doesn’t make any sense. the national guard is part of the military anyway.
May God be with us!!
of all the problems in the world, you’re worried about baseless claims about obama. you do know what a baseless claim is don’t you? it means it has no substance. it’s just made up. if you’re going to say this is obama’s idea to take over the country, the burden of proof is on YOU and not obama. i hope you don’t teach your kids and grand kids to believe baseless claims.
