I can't find any numbers anywhere, but it seems there are actually some peope showing up to join them. Not many, but a few.
Isn't US military training for normal combatants like infantrymen now based on a max three days without support?able to survive in most any condition
Families of several local law enforcement officers left Harney County last week after they were reportedly followed to their homes. Sheriff David Ward told Oregon Public Broadcasting he’s received emailed death threats from out of state, and at a community meeting Wednesday, Ward said his wife left town after her tires were slashed. It’s unclear who is behind these acts of intimidation
Law enforcement officers and their families are being hassled by the Bundy bunch and/or their sympathizers. People are following them home. The wives and families of some local law enforcement officers have left town. The car belonging to the wife of the county sheriff had its tires slashed: The lady has left town.
Whether you agree with what these folks are doing or not...at least they are doing...not sitting behind their keyboards pretending how tough and patriotic they are.
It is my understanding a US Army National guard unit attached to JSOC has possibly been moved to the area. I wouldn't call that DELTA.elements of Delta have already been seconded to the area from Lewis -McChord.
The kids is a problem, but welcome to the 21st century on the women being there. Most US allies have an entire generation of female combat veteran and even the US has opened combat roles to women. I'd be very surprised if the women aren't shooting back if anything does happen.In addition they've put some women and kids in harms way
I'm not even sure I agree they are doing anything. They might have thought they were doing something, but they clearly did not plan this out well at all. It is incredibly disorganized, they called for people to show up, then turned them away. Who did they think was going to show up besides people who are fringe within even the militia groups? They haven't really really done ANYTHING to open the land up to further use. They could have torn down or cut miles of fence in the last two weeks. They removed only a few spans and the rancher there seems not to be supporting them. If they had a herd ready to go through on TV that might be something.Whether you agree with what these folks are doing or not...at least they are doing...
Sending Delta would be like calling in the Evergreen Supertanker water-bomber to put out a house fire.
