Military assistance can include loans of arms, ammunition, vessels and aircraft. The directive states clearly that it is for engaging civilians during times of unrest.Directive 3025.18.
A U.S. official said the Obama administration considered but rejected deploying military force under the directive during the recent standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his armed supporters.
Remember it. This is the first time that I can recall there ever being concrete proof that the US Govt has plans to use military force against US civilians inside the US.
Considering our history this is disturbing.
But whats even more disturbing is the fact that the militias were right. James Yeager was right.
We were probably heatbeats away from this thing kicking off. Its a miracle that cooler heads prevailed and the fight was canceled but this tells me one other thing.
All that ammo that the US Govt is buying isn't normal.
They're gearing up for a fight.
Sidenote: It dawned on me during the discussion in the comments section that this is a doomsday order. The second they implement this directive all bets are off. We'll be lucky if we just have a great depression. More than likely we'll see violence that will startle the world. Additionally we'll be lucky if the US continues as we currently know it.
