Before It’s News America’s National Guard is following a direct order — but it does not seem very happy about it. All of the National 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.”
Disguised as budget cuts, 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.
Farmer,you are obviously a very bright and slightly paranoid(with good reason!)person,was going to say the same thing basically verbatim you posted.
Why is the National Guard allowing this? This is illegal! The army has no authority over them. They are separate. FIGHT BACK, dammit!!! Why the hell are they giving in so damn easily. I’m sick of this shit. GRR!! 😡 Wake up!
“All of the National 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.”
Of course you can do something about it. DON’T DO IT!! DUH!!! Grow some damn balls!!!
““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.”
Then DON’T DO IT!!!! DUH!!!
How many stupid people do we have in the military? This is ridiculous! Grow a pair of balls and stand up for yourself and your country, dammit!!!
The top brass will do nothing about it because their precious careers and cushy retirement is on the line if they do. If there were any real patriots of any substantial number in their ranks this would have never been allowed to happen in the first place.We have been warned about the military industrial complex by no less than 3 United States presidents and as you can plainly see they were right! NSA has dirt on all of them and they are controlled by the grip around their balls.
Hope some of those won’t be used for the Bundy situation if it gets out of hand. Most likely not, but you never know with our government. Think Waco. Militia better be ready to deal with the choppers.
I would say that those that order them on the public better be well hidden,even then ,some day fair play turnabout will catch up with em.
That was exactly what my first thought was too Farmer They are trying to disarm everything that the perceive as a threat to their traitorous asses. Anyone that can’t see the tyranny that’s is in their faces now are totally blind or simply cowards! They are using the Constitution for toilet paper and need to have that corrected.
Maybe the pilots will grow some and tell the motards to F OFF
From DefenceOne article:
“Some argue the helicopter swap is needed because the Blackhawk is better suited for natural disaster recovery operations, which Guard units are tasked to do. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Co., said the Blackhawks were instrumental during recent flooding in his state. “In Colorado, we benefited greatly from having National Guard Blackhawks available to perform search and rescue missions, evacuate flood victims, drop water on wildfires, even deliver hay to cattle stranded by blizzards. Have Apaches ever been used for those purposes, and wouldn’t it make sense to have those utility aircraft available to governors for in-state missions?”
“The main mission of those Apaches,” Grass said, “is to be the combat reserve of the Army.”
The main mission of the choppers is the defence of our great states you stupid politician trash!! Turning them over to the Feds will send us all to slavery.
The powers that be feel the National Guard will not turn on American’s so what better place to put them….. The Army…. These commies will do anything to create and internal army in this country to kill us all….and take the land… I am sick of these weezers who can’t stand up for what is right and just cave because of their pensions…..That is why this country is in the shape it is….. The root of all evil is MONEY… What these idiots fail to realize is that when they have done the dirty deeds for the commies, they too will be taken out…. Remember Dead men tell no tales….. We have been sold down the river and people better Wake up….
Got to have extra choppers for the russian troops.
So those government bastards are replacing these choppers for less effective ones and the leaders of the National Guard know this and yet they continue to allow these Federal Terrorists to get away with it without a fight? WTF!!!! FIGHT BACK!!!! Are you men or cowards? What kind of National Guard are you running? FIGHT BACK!!!
If they come for your choppers, use your choppers to blow them all to hell. The rest of the military is overseas. The government ain’t got nothing left and you are giving them the last of what we have left? What the F**K is wrong with these Guardsmen? Do your duty, dammit!!! We the people will support you. Hell, call on the militias for protection, for cryin’ out loud. DO SOMETHING!!!!
😡 Man, this just pisses me off! We’re just handing the bad guys everything without a fight. Why don’t they just hand over the country on a plate while they are at. COWARDS!!!!!
You Guardsmen ought to be ashamed of yourselves!! Call yourself Americans? I spit on you! No REAL American would do such a thing. You’re a disgrace and a traitor to your country! If you know what’s good for you, you’d stop it from happening right now. But I guess being a coward is more easy for you.
I mean as far as chief Grass’ is concerned, as long as his biggest concern 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.”, then who cares right? He won’t have to fight or get involved and he can live another day as a slave to the Communist government and none of his troops will have to fight or put their lives on the line (even though that’s what they are trained and supposed to do) and all will be fine.
COWARDS!!!!! If him and the rest of the Guardsmen don’t stand up now, they’re nothing but cowards and history will show that. Prove us wrong by doing your duty, taking a stand and FIGHTING BACK!!!!
I commend you for this comment…..problem is……..military people follow orders so if the order does not come from the top……Hell, those below are robots without a script to follow………that’s the problem…
And here more to the point…….State Governors have much power and say…and that’s the best place for you and I to make a critical statement and send directions to……..
always enjoyed your participation NC….
