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.
Marshall law is coming. He ll turn loose the terrorists he s let cross the border. Quit drinking the koolaid
There going to be a war here with the people I dont know what obama has over people here in the usa its like he has a curse on every one
That plays right in with the multi jurisdictional “marshall law” drill just “quietly” held in a small IL town (pop. 850 or so). A reminder and plea to the L.E.O.s and Military: PLEASE HONOR YOUR OATH AND NOT THE ILLEGAL ORDER GIVEN BY AN ILLEGAL “PRESIDENT” who works with and in the muslim brotherhood, ISIS, and is working ONLY on destroying America, killing Americans and creating chaos as he was instructed to do by those who “own” him!! HONOR YOUR OATH AND PROTECT WE THE PEOPLE who will back your move and help you at every turn!

Thank you Dan Weeks!! I didn’t think anyone else saw that Jarrett is running this country!!
The military won’t side with the government. We talk about different scenarios and what could happen all the time. When it come to the government and the American people. Most of the military will side with the people. Yeah Obama fired alot of high ranking military officials, but they’re not the backbone and muscle of the military.If this article is legit, it seems Obama is trying to weaken the NG. The whole military funding excuses is a load of c**p,just like his two terms.
IN GOD WE TRUST. They can separate the bodies later
