Increased military activity in PA
I live near an Army base and I've been hearing large planes overhead all afternoon. Anyone else noticing an increase in military activity?

2. Several months ago ...
Edited on Fri Aug-25-06 05:42 PM by AnneD
we were comparing notes about increased military movement, much like the one before we went into Iraq....
Needless to say Agent Mike got upset and the thread was just not locked-all traces were gone.:hi: Mike. My guess is if you see an increase in activity-Check on a map and figure out what oil producing country we haven't invaded yet. It's not rocket science.

I'd look for another terra alert. And I wouldn't put it past this government to give us an 'October Suprise'. The only way this Administration can keep us in submission is to keep us off balance. What happened to the days when the only thing we had to fear was fear itself. Were the Nazi's less bent on the destruction of the US than Al Quida. I don't think Americans were pissing in their shoes then like they are today. Home of the brave my democratic ass. People that trade freedom for security deserve neither.

3. We have to move more warplanes/equipment for a possible Iran War
Don't you get the memo!? You move your chess pieces into position before striking.

4. MANY MANY MANY more large planes marked USAF
flying into Rickenbacker ANG base. This base in central Ohio is mostly for commercial cargo flights, however, in the last 3 weeks, I have seen more USAF LARGE planes, back to back to back, flying in than I have seen in DECADES.

TONS of them.

9. Reminds me of the story of Hermann before WWII
flying the same squardron past the reviewing stand again and again. They would land to have their spinners painted a different color so the foreign observers would think it was a different squadron.
