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.
Nancy. Wake up Oboma is doing every thing to bring this country down breaking the laws. He acts as he is a dictator and has given our money and weapons to our enemy. If you think this is good think. The only hope he gives us is I hope we come out alive .
Why does Barrack Obama love gun control so much?
Why does any blood thirsty dictator love gun control?
The Al Qaeda, the Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood are Terrorists and they always were.
The United States should never support and finance Terrorism.

Arrest Barrack Obama for Treason.
No Incumbents.
It was horribly wrong for the EU and the United States and George Soros and the National Endowment for Democracy to create, support, and finance the violence and Terrorism in the Ukraine just as it is wrong for Obama and the CIA to continue to fiance and support the Terrorists in Syria.
Our CIA and Pentagon and National Endowment for Democracy and State Department should not work to determine what type government every nation in the world has through violence, protests, Terrorism, and war.
Shut down NATO, it is nothing but a War Machine.
Give NATO and the Untied States Military Bases all over the world to the sovereign nation they were built in, we can not afford to operate them and we can not continue to support and finance Terrorism and War all over the world, nor should we. The Trillions of Dollars we have spent on this is just wasted. Thousands of years of hate and war have taught each man and woman who can think that hate and war bring only more hate and war.
The CIA and NSA should only investigate and not spread violence, Terrorism, and War all over the world.
End our stupid wars.
He is to stupid to realize his madness is destroying Our Country
