#1 Do armed homeowners in their hundreds need training against 4 dozen(?) helicopter assholes?
Just asking.

#3 would flying in a helo and shooting pigs like they do in Texas count as training?

#4 Isn't it misgendering to call a Marine a soldier?

#5 So, the Seals and FBI HRT are in the area. They do joint exercises there yearly. They do training exercises in LA as well. We have been doing them since the early 90's. This all take the misconception that the military just sits in the fort waiting, and not training in the nation they are supposed to defend.

#7 ...A couple times since we've been here, USMC has done urban training in Columbia - we have a huge park in the center of town that's perfect for helo landings, and the crowd absolutely love it.

And somehow, no one seems to think that WWIII has started.

#8 If WW 3 breaks out and nobody in the media covers it - does it really happen?

#9 I liked when they had little birds pick up operators from an LA street in Schiff’s district during a House vote in Feb 2019.

#10 I live nearby and I knew there was announced ~~"festivities and much celebrations"~~ loud noises at Pendleton, but not Miramar. Doesn't mean anything, just that I never heard about it.

NB: I did hear what I thought were gunshot "volleys" at Ruffin Rd/Clairemont Mesa Rd Friday 5AM
