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.
Remember the 25 plus Moose So Loon training camps in 25 different states and that Weasel Holder stopped the FBI from watching these pigs. Remember how many times these Moose So Loons have gone the White House since the POS took office.
This ties directly into they are trying to change the 2nd amendment to state the right to bear arms, “while serving in the militia” (National Guard). No Apaches in the NG…no war power for the “militia”.
wake up people here it comes
PRESIDENTS CAN NOT DO THIS, THE ARMED SERVICES COMETTE IN THE HOUSE OF REPS AND SENATE CONTROLS THEM…GET THAT COMMUNIST OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE OR THERE WILL BE CIVIL WAR AND WE WILL HOLD EVERY SENATOR AND REPRESENITIVE RESPONSIBLE ONCE WE GET OUR HANDS ON YOU DURING THE WAR.
THOMAS CLODFATHER, THE NATIONAL GUARD IS NOT MILITIA.
And even if he did they send the national gaurd over sea’s first and keep them there longer so the national gaurd is not here to protect the country.
And that also goes to giving dhs armored vehicles and more ammo than anyone can dream of.
He is afraid we will use them on him!
it will be funny when the millitary and the local police forces turn on these idiots and put them in the fema prison camps they had mapped out for us
GOD BLESS AMERICA and may we all stand as one when it is time!
