R U Ready For Jade Helm 15 ???

Internet traffic is buzzing about Jade Helm, a U.S. military exercise scheduled to begin July 15 (but according to latest reports in June) and end on September 15. It is to take place across a number of states, especially in the Southwest, and involves several branches of the military, including the 82nd Airborne, Navy Seals, Green Berets, and other Special Ops.

There is broad concern that the drill will transition into the onset of martial law. Some factors fueling the alarm:

(1) No drill this extensive has ever occurred before;

(2) it includes nighttime activities, air drops near towns, and attempts to infiltrate and “blend in” with civilian populations;

(3) the exercise is unlawful as it violates the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits domestic deployment of federal troops in civilian areas (section 4 of the Constitution allows it in cases of “domestic violence,” but that is clearly not the situation here);

(4) the operation’s field map has labeled Texas, Utah, and certain Southern California counties as “hostile” territory – troubling, since these areas also happen to contain populations especially known as constitutionalist, religious, and/or patriotic.

Here is the text of the current "Posse Comitatus Act":

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

If the forces participating in the "exercise" are not used to "execute or enforce the laws", then they will not be in violation of the act, at least not the way I read it.

In addition, if anyone should take their oaths seriously it's these guys. If they don't, we're screwed any way you look at it.

However, should I somehow disappear during the exercise, you'll know what happened.
