I didn't like the governments actions with Waco. I didn't like Ruby Ridge. I think that the police and ATF even the FBI have adopted the idea that they can and will do whatever they like and we as the people they are supposed to protect are somehow the enemy.
They all have a very militaristic view of law enforcement. Why would any law enforcement have belt fed machine guns? They do. They were obtained from federal grants and programs where they can obtain used military gear to help with law enforcement. Recently I heard about them getting mwrap trucks. Mine resistant transportation for local law enforcement? WHY?
Talk about the government overstepping its boundaries. Lets look at the Oklahoma Federal building that was truck bombed. With a remote detonator and an ampho style bomb. Timmy and his buddy went from black powder pipe bombs to a truck bomb with a remote detonator and a completely different type of explosive. And he made a huge bomb that worked the first time with no help. And no training other than army service. He had no clue from any of his service how to manufacture a bomb like this. I seriously think he had help. I could even believe that there was some sort of sting involved where the FBI might have helped him with the bomb in order to catch him being a terrorist. Something like that could have happened. It was pretty strange how he was captured so quickly.
9/11 two planes flew into the buildings. there was not only evidence from video but the debris from the building as well. Invent all the reasons you might as to why those men did what they did, I don't think you can say it didn't happen.
I think we can do things that help. I think we do every day. As vets we are more observant of our surroundings and of things that don't quite fit in. I think we are a viable deterrent and one of the main reasons there are not car bombs going off in our cities. I don't know what else I can do but be observant and report what I see. Crime happens here in the US. But most criminals get caught rather quickly. I cant see terrorism having much of a chance beyond a first strike capability. A terror cell would be rooted out most ricky tick imo.
I think major corporations run our country. Most of the politicians are for sale and act on the behalf of the big corps. not for the individual. I think money is the basis for the reasons most political decisions are made now a days. We are being turned into sheep.
I looked for some links to some of the things I brought up. I am not supporting any of the links or sites, I just attached them as they support some of the things I mentioned.

If this is ok, what else is going on that we have no clue about? What kind of planning and policies exist "just incase". What ever happened tot he constitution? If "just incase" happens, What happens to the rights of the people? Belt fed .50's on mwraps are the norm. Why not a few tanks and some sp arty as well?
