The Pentagon has approached Congress to grant the Secretary of Defense the authority to post almost 400,000 military personnel throughout the United States in times of emergency or a major disaster.
This request has already occasioned a dispute with the nation’s governors. And it raises the prospect of U.S. military personnel patrolling the streets of the United States, in conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
In June, the U.S. Northern Command distributed a “Congressional Fact Sheet” entitled “Legislative Proposal for Activation of Federal Reserve Forces for Disasters.�
You asked :
400,000 personnel posted here in the United States? What on earth for?

Funny they've been doing this for some time. Just on a small test scale.
The thing I'd see as being very deviant is We in the USA don't have 400k soldiers to spare.
So, to myself, this looks like the implementation of UN troops. I'm totally serious for a long time I've learned the phonetics for hello, yes, no in a couple other languages.
People really need to wake up; our government has been hyjacked, and we are looking at what amounts to a rogue piracy.
Agreed! And why do you think they want to use foreign UN troops....I'll tell you, do you think Fran from Germany really gives a rat's a s s about putting a bullet through Joe American Schmoe? Hell no he doesn't.
It sure conveniently drops the moral factor when you think about it.

I see as win for us!
In my opinion...it would be much better to have this controlled at
State levels that for it to escalate to a Federal Level.
Then...maybe at least we could keep out the foreign troops?
Am I grasping at straws? What about the Posse Comitatus Act?
How can they violate that?
