Special Operations troops assaulted downtown Tampa … all to thunderous applause

On Wednesday, Special Operations troops from more than a dozen countries jumped out of helicopters, rappelled from buildings and expended hundreds of rounds of ammunition as they attempted to rescue the mayor of this Florida city.

The operation was, of course, an exercise, but it was also a public spectacle for a force that has tried desperately to remain in the shadows despite now being at the forefront of America’s wars.

Conditioning for both troops and the sheeple.

Who could have imagined the level of blindness, regarding liberty, with which our country has been infected.

Lets see just how wonderful the citizens think it is when the same tactics are used when these troops come after us, and don’t think it can’t happen, because it could and it will.

I expect it will be quite similar to Nazi Germany where many cheered to avoid being seen as noncompliant.

The only problem is they will not be rescuing the official but replacing him or her after removal. The pentagon has war-gamed the takeover of state capitals in the case of widespread civil unrest. Get the people use to seeing military in the streets and they will not react when the real action unfolds.

In Civil War 1 AKA the Revolutionary War: 1/3rd were Patriots. 1/3rd were Tories and 1/3rd were weeping willow trees in the breeze clapping for whatever flag was marching past. The Patriots dealt with foreign Hessian troops brought from Germany to help subdue them, most famously at Trenton NJ.

In Civil War 2 AKA the War of Northern Aggression there were massive numbers of foreign troops brought in again to help subdue the Confederacy (who were succeeding from the Union as was their right under the Constitution).

Immigrants in the Union and Confederate Army during the Civil War:

The Union Army was composed of many different ethnic groups, including large numbers of immigrants. About 25% of the white people who served in the Union Army were foreign-born. Breakdown of the approximately 2.2 million Union soldiers:

• 1,000,000 (45.4% of all Union soldiers) native-born Americans of British ancestry.
• 516,000 (23.4%) Germans; about 216,000 were born in Germany.
• 210,000 (9.5%) African American. Half were freedmen who lived in the North, and half were ex-slaves or escaped slaves from the South. They served in more than 160 “colored” regiments. One such regiment, the 54th Massachusetts, is dramatized in the film Glory. Others served under white officers in Federal regiments organized as the United States Colored Troops (USCT).
• 200,000 (9.1%) Irish.
• 90,000 (4.1%) Dutch.
• 50,000 (2.3%) Canadian.
• 50,000 (2.3%) born in England.
• 40,000 (1.8%) French or French Canadian. About half were born in the United States of America, the other half in Quebec.
•20,000 (0.9%) Scandinavian (Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish).
•7,000 Italian
•7,000 Jewish
•6,000 Mexican
•5,000 Polish (many of whom served in the Polish Legion of Brig. Gen. Włodzimierz Krzyżanowski)
•4,000 Native Americans
•Several hundred of other various nationalities.

Many immigrant soldiers formed their own regiments, such as the Irish Brigade (69th New York, 63rd New York, 88th New York, 28th Massachusetts, 116th Pennsylvania); the Swiss Rifles (15th Missouri); the Gardes Lafayette (55th New York); the Garibaldi Guard (39th New York); the Martinez Militia (1st New Mexico); the Polish Legion (58th New York); the German Rangers (52nd New York); the Highlander Regiment (79th New York); and the Scandinavian Regiment (15th Wisconsin). But for the most part, the foreign-born soldiers were scattered as individuals throughout units.

The Confederate Army: For comparison, the Confederate Army was not very diverse: 91% of Confederate soldiers were native born and only 9% were foreign-born , Irish being the largest group with others including Germans, French, Mexicans (though most of them simply happened to have been born when the Southwest was still part of Mexico), and British. Some Southern propaganda compared foreign-born soldiers in the Union Army to the hated Hessians of the American Revolution. As well, a relatively small number of Native Americans (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek) fought for the Confederacy.
