WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is upsetting the nation's governors by pushing for authority to call up military reservists for natural disasters — and to control how the troops would be used in any state.
“Controlâ€

Are there any more sectors of people he can piss off?

He's doing a great job at it!
Many of the special interests groups that put him in office have been lied to and screwed over. Hahahhahahah

No wonder he needs illegals and Puerto Ricians to be citizens, everyone else is onto his lies.

We unlike them, have NOTHING to be grateful to him for.

[quote]The Pentagon argues a change in law is needed so the president, through his defense chief, would gain the ability to mobilize reservists when a state seeks aid in a catastrophic natural disaster such as a hurricane.

“The key here is that right now, we lack the authority to bring to bear the hundreds of thousands of trained reserve forces that in extreme circumstances might help governors deal with the disasters in their statesâ€

In the Southern California wild fires a few years ago the Governor of Nevada sent Nevada National Guard Troops to California to help, at the request of the California Governor. The feds had nothing to do with it.

Mostly they were traffic control in areas that had been evacuated. They would put one CA. Highway Patrol Officer or other CA. law enforcement officer at a intersection. The cop was the lawful authority, the Guardsmen were the backup muscle.

The Guardsmen also helped out at the Red Cross evacuation centers at schools and the stadium. Mostly they moved food and supplies into place, but they were called in for crowd control a couple of time.

California was grateful for their help and support.

Probably why they don't allow Marines to use any social networking sites! Because they would never fight their own if they knew what state our govt is in and how they are oppressing us!

the military coup over the states is coming from what I can see

They can only stop them while on the base. When they are not on base, they can do what they damn well please...Trying to keep the Marines from viewing material on the web is futile. It is essential that our troops stay in tune to what is happening to this country economically, socially and politically. This ban is all smoke and no fire, to hell with the feds who thought it up.

Remember, our troops' oath is to the Constitution and not to some fraud of a President and his cronies. We are having to deal with imposters and traitors who own and run our media. This IS war!
