Army will conduct a two-week 'guerilla war' training exercise in the woods of North Carolina to teach Special Forces how to overthrow an 'illegitimate government' just weeks after Biden's Justice Department announced its new 'domestic terrorism' unit

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]

Special Forces candidates will participate in the two-week Robin Sage training exercises in which they will practice overthrowing illegitimate governments

Robin Sage places soldiers in a 'politically unstable' fictional country and uses 'unconventional guerrilla warfare' to defeat a 'numerically superior enemy'

Soldiers will face off against seasoned military members and specially trained civilians during the exercise, which serves as the Special Forces final exam

Several citizens, however, are concerned the exercise encourages soldiers to target civilians

News of the training exercise comes at a tense time in the US, just five days after the country celebrated the first anniversary of the Capitol riot

It also follows the DOJ's creation of a new 'domestic terrorism' unit as the nation faces what officials said is an 'elevated threat from domestic violent extremists'

#15 Several citizens, however, are concerned the exercise encourages soldiers to target civilians

NOTE: This has been a staple of left-wing rants since the Soviets told them to say it. That "several citizens" continue to mouth Soviet propaganda is about as surprising as the sunrise.

#13 It’s called Robin sage. They do it every class. It’s designed to teach the team to work with partisans and to work with locals. It’s a skill you don’t want to learn in a real environment. All SF soldiers go through this training under the FID training. A solid reason why the dems are so afraid of veterans.

#10 Yeah, Robin Sage has been around as long as I can remember. This story is hype.

#8 If we had realistic border controls on our southern border, the southern border of Mexico would look like Thunderdome.

#7 See:
Managua swearing-in for president Daniel Ortega
and
Kamala Harris finally called Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei

The Dems may be building a new diversion.

#5 Robin Sage is long running exercise. It's the Green Berets' core mission.

#4 You mean training to protect the illegitimate government?

#3 The exercise has been around for decades. Pineland is an offset. Neither the bureau or the Klingons would stoop to using a DoD or SOF exercise as a "special unit" start-up or basic course. SOF trained people are not seen as their equals but rather their enemy.

Just my two cents worth.

#1 1st thing. A illegal coup does is to solifiy it power using any legal means needed....

Hopefully the SFOD's have ZERO to do with this. Because Walt & The Mustash would haunt them from them grave.
