Military drawing up plans for weapon confiscation

Your right, I was thinking Navy which is Admiral. Regardless, an AF General is beyond absurd commenting on a massive ground operation. These generals are well rounded but not that well rounded.

As for them clearing rooms, almost all branches do this in some capacity. We even had Air Force explosive teams helping us clear IEDs on routes. They were not the first choice however, we were just short on explosive experts so yes, they can do it but are never called upon for this duty unless their is a shortage which there would not be in this massive roundup.

If they call on any branch it's the reserves and I've been in almost 20 years and we seldom do this training...maybe once a year for a couple of hours. That's not enough to pull off something of this magnitude. It would take weeks and most of them are barely fit enough to run a couple of miles with no gear. Going house to house...most of them would be on stretchers after one day with shin splints.

There are the Reserves you do not know about.. LOL

The DHS

And it seems they are very well supplied

DHS Buys Armored Vehicles, Bullets And Assault Weapons - Investors.com

Remember, this is the conspiracy section...

We always had the MRAPs, they are being brought home. Same thing was done during WWII, Vietnam, and the Gulf War. We brought vehichles back and used them. The bigger question is where do they plan on getting the manpower to do this job? A lot of people in the military and law enforcement own weapons. So the plan is to tell them to stop at their homes first, get their guns, then start going house to house? LOL. Good luck achieving that mission.

The Pentagon is not purchasing these MRAPs the DHS is.
Why would DHS need 1.6 BILLION rounds?

Who is invading... The Chinese?

I am ex-ARMY I fully understand bringing vehicles back from combat and leaving them in a host nation. We left a lot in Saudi after Desert Storm.
