Wonder what they are training for?

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

Sorry, I didn't know how to post this properly and am pressed for time. It is a news video of armored military personel patroling the streets of St. Louis.

Bump. Apparently the military doesn't have any military bases that have urban simulations or paved streets on them. They could only do this training on the public streets in St. Louis, Missouri, for all to witness.

Yeah, it is amazing that not one of the 900 military bases contains an urban warfare area (I guess the ones I saw the military constructing in the 1990s were not urban enough.).  The people in Washington controlling the military would never risk harm to other persons or property for intimidation purposes.

It might as well have been called "Operation Trial Balloon".
