UN troop movements inside the US thread

UN forces = UN army, same thing both ways.

No, it isn't. It's not even close. A UN Army would be run, maintained, trained and equipped by the UN. They would answer to only UN orders and have no allegiance to their country of origin. They would have multi-national units comprised of many different people.

Donated UN forces are just national units with a new paint job, a new blue hat, some orders to watch civilians get killed and not to lift a finger.

The reason why some people are concerned is maybe because these sightings are of foreign "donated" personnel. Even if it was indeed American forces, some people are not fluent in military insignias like you, and may mistake them for foreign personnel. No need bash us.

So what if there are foreign troops on US soil? There always are, be they UN affiliated or not! Here in the UK we have other countries troops all the time, be they for events, training or what have you and it happens all over the world.

To give you an example of this, a British regiment recently went and paraded in Red Square with the Russian army. Are the US that insecure that they cannot deal with the prospect of any foreign troops and start bleating the moment they think they might see a few?

And yes, there is a need to bash as these threads pop up on an annual basis, usually around the time of some maneuvers by the US military and then you get the eventual parade of plonkers posting about how the UN is trying to take over and how illegal it is for foreign troops to be on US soil.

In other words, it's total rubbish and should be bashed..
