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.
i thought he was gonna do this with police…well armed and financed as well as military
if they let them be taken they are as low as him they need to tell him to shove it
IT IS STARTING !!!!
It’s just part of the plan to disarm any and all who can oppose the new old order.
First year in Office Obama appointed 2 DEVOUT Muslims to Head of Homeland Security……..LOOK at everything happening with OPEN Border’s and REMEMBER too BRAIN TERRY’S MURDER by the Cartels who were DRUG Running with THIS Administration. But Congress will sit with their thumbs up their ass and act as if they have NO CLUE whats going on……UNTIL IT “HITS” Home, then they will ALL WAKE UP!
God punished the Jews by foreign armies when they turned their backs on God. We don’t need to impeach Obama, we don’t need new laws we don’t need to beef up our military or another ng else that people have mentioned. What we need is to fall on our faces in repentance and ask God to forgive us for turning our backs on him. We didn’t become the greatest nation on earth by accident. God made us the greatest because we were serving him. Righteousness exalteth
A nation but sin is a reproach to any people.
Impeach now
Obama wants to disarm the states to make them unable to defend from the Federal government intervention, who are engineering a coup.
For God’s Sake, get this BEAST impeached NOW.
