    According to this lady here, on the video below this homeland military brigade happing now is a far cry different thing than calling in the National Guard to help with a disaster such as Katrina..

    The National Guard is more a State controlled platoon and follows orders from many chains of command, The 1st Brigade is Federal and answers only to the Commander in Chief.. Be aware my friends very aware.. as Bogart has just mentioned above:

    "The country has changed a lot since the 1930s and even the 1970s."

    Watch this video and see if you maybe become a little more awakened to think outside the normal brainwashed realm, that MSM has you a tuned to think.

    I would love to have an intelligent community discussion here about some of her points.

    The US Army strength dropped from 780,000 in the 1990's to 480,000. Strength projected though fiscal 2009 is 512,400 troops. The total force is 43 active brigade combat teams and 44 reserve component brigade combat teams -- 34 National Guard and 10 Army Reserve.

    Active brigades are probably no more than 15 within the lower 48 states.

    Should rioting break out it would probably take 3 or 4 brigades to restore order in a large city.
