The pentagon said in their press release that they received permission from the private landowners in question and the rest of the operation is going to take place on existing military bases or other government owned property. So I wonder how is any of this going to impact them? Everybody it is going to impact has already been told. If you don't want to see convoys don't drive on the interstate. I didn't think the military had to ask permission or inform the public when they transport troops. I'd think that would be a security risk don't you?
Since when it is a governors job to inform citizens of Federal troop movements? Again it is just putting the troops at risk to score some cheap political points with members of your party that believe in fringe conspiracy theories. The real danger is in humoring these nuts and reinforcing their nutty beliefs. It makes it more likely one of them will try and pull a Timothy McVeigh.
Again when has the military ever informed the public of its training missions or troop movements?
But hey if Abbot wants to close all the Wal-Marts in his state because he thinks they have secret underground bunkers full of Chinese troops, I say go for it.
