rogue2/sunflower:
weve got US officers/soldiers being recalled; its possible that through the recent training exercises of foreign troops on our soil (see alex jones` material in
police state 1,2, and 3), we have the necessary manpower to distribute food/supplies when something happens (translation: when
they do something to us.).
in september, a standing brigade was permanently assigned to the northeast... thats typically 5000 guys.

according to the article, the defense authorization act of 2006 gives the president the right to use the soldiers under martial law, antiwar protests that get unruly, or a terrorist incident. the article said they were being trained for nonlethal combat techniques.
another poster mentioned the recall of troops from wisconsin... i was there in the early 90s and had a roommate who was in ROTC. during his national guard weekends, they trained extensively for riot control. i recall him asking for volunteer rioters to make the scenarios more realistic.
ALL THAT SAID.... it seems that our distinguished colleagues on the ATS forum think its most likely a hoax:

i think we should chill out and relax until we get some more credible evidence.
