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.
wow most of you have the Al wound really tight how is the American Spring or whatever it was called going ? RGO
IF THE BLACK MUSLIM USES THEM AGAINST US THERE ARE WAYS TO SHOOT THEM DOWN. I HAD ABOUT 8,000 HOURS AS A HELICOPTER CREW CHIEF AND A CHEIF QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTOR. IF YOU PUT ENOUGH LEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACES YOU CAN SHOOT THEM DOWN. A RETIRE MARINE MGYSGT-

Those Helicopters will be used against us, Not for us if obooma has his way.
This man, before the mid term elections, will turn his army against the American people and cancel the elections…..lots of people are gonna die unless something is done about this man.
Most people do not realize that the National Guard are not supposed to be deployed out of the United States, except in times of absolute need during a war, otherwise they are to remain here and defend the Homeland.
Obama is a dumbass
Obama is afraid that Citizen Soldiers might not side with him after he declares “Martial Law”. He’s still after the public’s weapons. Doesn’t sound good. He wants to lead like Hitler.
