US Army Colonel: Crushing a 'tea party insurgency'

Quote from achilles28:

A retired U.S. Army colonel who now teaches modern warfare to soldiers at the University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. has co-written an article with a Civil War expert that has ignited a firestorm today among those increasingly concerned about what some say is a distinct anti-civilian tone that has infected much of the military and Homeland Security since 2009.

Retired Col. Kevin Benson and Jennifer Weber, Associate Professor of History at the University of Kansas, co-wrote an article for Small Wars Journal on a 2010 Army report titled, "U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, The Army Operating Concept 2016 - 2028."

The report describes how the Army will respond to threats "at home and abroad" in the coming two decades and in doing so has made clear that a monumental cultural shift has occurred in the thinking of those at the top levels of military command. This shift has some government watchdogs worried, particularly given that Benson is using the platform provided at Fort Leavenworth to educate military personnel in his vision of the nature of modern warfare in America. According to the vision articulated by Benson, future warfare will be conducted on our own soil. The military will use its full force against our own citizens. The enemy will be average citizens whose values resonate with those articulated by the tea party.

Forbes: How the U.S. Military Would Crush a Tea Party Rebellion

...In fact, the Army’s operating concept for 2016 to 2028 considers highly likely a future where the U.S. is threatened by “radical U.S. citizens operating domestically and abroad”. The Pentagon was probably thinking of Al Qaeda sympathizers in the U.S., but radicals come in all flavors.

Benson and Weber boldly argue that “if we face a period of persistent global conflict as outlined in successive National Security Strategy documents, then Army officers are professionally obligated to consider the conduct of operations on U.S. soil.” They also argue that preparations for such a scenario must begin now, including proper equipment for the U.S. military as well as liaison between federal and state authorities. Actually, the issue is really the conduct of operations against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil

Lets connect the dots:


Where is this train going? You tell me.

Thay may or may not cut vets benefits;
they could do something really wise & cut all across the board.Not a prediction.

That train may not go very far at all. Conservatives have a good margin in the house.Also too bad for the gun banners;even Chicago has won some important gun freeedom cases in court.Chicago?? Yes:cool:

Actually i think the Colonel has somewhat of a point-fight on USA soil;
several Muzzies/USA armed forces[''so called religion of peace]] have attacked armed forces on USA soil. So he has a partial point.Not that the majority in House , thinks Tea Party is ''real enemy'' LOL:cool:
 
When you discern who your enemies are, they come out of the woodwork. When you stop hating, the enemies disappear and all that remain are bastards that need killed.
 
Quote from Lucrum:

I thought it fairly common for older men to refer to boys, adolescents and very young or immature men as "son".

A guy who attends teenie bopper concerts calling a 51 YO man "boy", uh not so much.

As much as I school you I should be calling you son,boy.

Another civil war supporter from the the right but his fellow righties wants to get mad when the government starts preparing for civil war and leftists support the government crushing any traitors who would try to overthrow a democratically elected government :)

The fact that I was right and that was my 2nd time beating you on a bet because you were wrong is schooling you boy
 
Brother AK, I seem to be getting a bit confused here.
Is one of these ET posters married to your mother?
Please clarify.

NO son, it's not. But as usual you go right ahead and repeat it Ad naseum.
It's what you're good at. In fact it seems to be the ONLY reason you're on Elite TRADER.
