Memo of the Day: Pay No Mind to Those Terrorists Outside

By Michael Crowley | @CrowleyTIME | November 9, 2010 | +

Via Stars and Stripes, the GWOT meets Dilbert:

Ladies and Gentleman,

The individuals you see in full PPE and the individuals you see in “Arabic attire” armed with AK-47’s, pistols and IEDs are role players and/or USAG-K reaction force personnel who are conducting TRAINING. Please stop calling the German Police, Military Police and hiding in your buildings. You will see these people walking around the outside of your offices and near the gates the remainder of the day and I assure you they are only training. Thank you for your vigilance, time and understanding.

Respectfully,

SFC Nicholas S. Benyo
Force Protection / Antiterrorism
NCOIC Kleber Kasserne BLDG 3203 RM 219

    Obama’s Persuasive Powers on Gay Marriage Manifest in Maryland

    When President Obama endorsed gay marriage earlier this month, the media grappled with two basic political questions: Was his personal “evolution” a case of  a politician transparently following a national trend toward accepting same-sex unions (accelerated, perhaps, by his chatty number two), and would it hurt his re-election chances by alienating socially conservative voters like black churchgoers? Sure, there was a recognition that it marked a gratifying moment for gay marriage advocates—as well as some grumbling about the President’s view that it remains a state issue, not a federal one. But by and large, there were few suggestions that one man, even the President, would shift public opinion on the issue or affect public policy. Based on a new Public Policy Polling survey out of Maryland, it seems this possibility was underestimated.

    Cherokee Zero

    Apparently, Massachusetts voters don’t mind that Elizabeth Warren foolishly identified herself as a Native American early in her academic career–it was, apparently, a case of family pride and wishful thinking about a Cherokee ancestor. That’s good. Warren may be the best public figure when it comes to explaining the depredations of the financial industry and [...]

    One wonders what would have happened if this unannounced exercise would have occurred in the US…

    Well, it just shows how silly it is to fear someone in Muslim garb strolling along with an AK, or an IED. Hmmm…wonder why they were dressed like that for a training exercise?

    “…strolling along with an AK, or an IED.”
    .
    Gosh golly gee. Do you maybe think that might be the important thing to worry about here?

    Because if they we’re dressed like your average joe it would make it possible for the police training to mistake them for a regular civilian?
    .
    Plus if you think real hard – what’s the actual thing that sticks out in your mind? The garbs or the weapons?

    hippooath: I think for a lot of people, it would have been the garb that stuck. Most people think nothing of weapons these days. Its a sad world we live in. A very, very sad world.
