Yeah..I've seen a Cobra that landed in our soccer field one day back in High School, turns out it was for some pre-military club in the school. But at the same time, those pictures of armed men rushing housees isn't as devious as it looks. when I went thru MCT (Marine Combat Training) we ran thru a M.O.U.T. town, or Military Operations in Urban Terrain. The facts are that Urban warfare is the most evastating kind for any force to fight. The attrition rate(death reate) is 90% ; I know that sounds crazy, but it isn't. That's why a platoon commander will march his infantry 50 miles around a city rather than go straight thru in some cases. We fight a losing war in M.O.U.T.s, and we're always training to ease our losses. And have you considered how SWAT teams are supposed to train?


I wouldn't be too sure about the claimed innocence of the military's reasons for practicing in Urban surroundings...

"(S.F. Bay Guardian - [b/]March 10, 1999) - FORGET THE MIDDLE EAST. Forget Kosovo. The United States Marine Corps is convinced that its next major invasion may take place on the west coast of the United States. That's right: the marines are preparing to put down an insurrection in a major American city -- say, San Francisco, or Seattle, or Los Angeles. They'll be practicing in Oakland March 15-18.
The marines say the exercise, dubbed Urban Warrior Advanced Warfighting Experiment, is designed to teach the armed forces how to distribute humanitarian aid to a big city after a disaster. But a Bay Guardian review of hundreds of pages of military documents, obtained through public records requests, from the Marine Corps' Web site, and from the Alameda County Public Library, reveals a very different mission."

Notice the date of the exercises? Just a coincidence that they were planning this 2 years BEFORE the attack on the WTC? Maybe, maybe not.

What the hell is a exercise designed to teach how to distribute humanitarian aid, doing with a name like "Urban Warrior Advanced Warfighting Experiment"?

It talks about some tactics that make me want to climb in a hole and hide for the next 30 years!
