I think it is a bit early. I also think that when whatever is going to happen, happens... we will all know.

I don't expect anyone will see troops patrolling the streets before they are needed. It very well could hinge on this bailout bill passing or failing this week.

If it fails, the timing will be like a perfect storm. The short sale ban will have expired and people will short the hell out of the market. It could very well be a major meltdown.

OR Bush just passes it anyways despite the majority of people opposing it and this could cause some major civil unrest.

Either way, the outcome of this bill just might be the catalyst.

Oh i agree. So the purpose of this thread is to see if there really are troops patroling as reports have said the past two weeks. They are due here today, and they are under orders. I do not blame the troops themselves, i just dont know what this government is up to since this is 'A FIRST'- SEE?

This is not a call to bash our troops- now that you mentioned it.

That’s why they make google…

Brigade
The typical NATO standard brigade consists of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 troops. However, in Switzerland and Austria, the numbers could go as high as 11,000 troops.

Ah, the Google... OK so let's say it is 5000 troops, and we count only the mainland 48 states. That's about 104 troops per state.

I would think that they will be practicing in specific cities and areas in mass, not spread out, no?

In other words, I don't think most of us will see them out and about until they are either training in our areas as part of a pre-planned group exercise, or (God forbid) there is an actual emergency somewhere.

In which case, they better give us a head's up of when they will be training in our areas. I don't want to be walking over to Starbucks and have a tank roll by me unexpectedly. Not cool!

But I have another question perhaps someone on here can answer. You know those emergency air sirens? Are those in every city?


I have wondered the same thing. I tell you what, that would give the people a serious butt pucker if they started going off and they had never heard them before.

Who are these domestic terrorists that we have dispatched a batalion of soldiers to fight? For me, that is the big question.
