Military vehicles on MD beltway just now

[pacelli]

Just sighted, at least 5 of these vehicles, all with 2 troops on top and 1 on the gun. Each vehicle was spaced by about 1/4 mile. Note this is during rush hour:

Not unusual. When I lived in the DC area I saw military vehicles on the Beltway pretty often. Usually in a line in the right hand lane.

 

[constituent]

wow, those guys should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[ItsTime]

wtf? Ive seen black and army helicopters flying over my house for the past few days. Today I saw one black and one camouflaged then shortly after a cargo plane. All were flying really low. I mean really really low.

 

[reduen]

Calm down folks, they are not coming for you....

 

[Imperial]

Me too! Blackhawk helicopters or other military aviation vehicles fly over my house at least every few hours. SOmetimes, they are in big formations. There were like 13 state trooper cars all in procession too. Oh, and I saw at a local wal-mart about 20 US Army guys in a few transports.

And the planes will fly pretty low sometimes too...most of them are flying south...

Wait a second. My area was hit by Hurricane Ike. I was wondering why they all had FEMA painted on the side of all of them...

Calm down folks, they are not coming for you....

wow that was a jump to conclusions

 

[Johnnybags]

Now that you mention it helicopters have

been buzzing my area as well. Maybe Bush is announcing he is king tonight like Hugo. King Chimpanzee that is. Or God willing they are going to arrest the King.

 

[LittleLightShining]

Well, we really have no idea what Bush is going to say tonight, do we?

routine

Seeing this stuff is a daily occurence in this area.

 

[gaazn]

Calm down folks, they are not coming for you....

Not now they are not. They are marking their targets to make a clean sweep when necessary.

 

[kathy88]

Bring em on.

 

[reduen]

wow that was a jump to conclusions

It's called levity.

Back at ya...

Troops moving on I90 towards Seattle lots of them today.

 

[devil21]

Glad my order of 150 more 10mm hollowpoint rounds showed up today.

I havent seen any military action around here (Charlotte NC) but Ive seen A LOT more helicopter activity for some reason. No black ones yet though

 

[vegaspilot03]

Come on! of course we know what Bush is gonna say: "blah blah blah, we must take immediate action.. blah blah blah.. war on high prices.. wo0ps... terrorism.. blah blah blah.... listen to the FED... donate blood"
