It must be frightening to live in a country where you only rarely have to look at your military.

Sigh. I guess some folks have never seen a convoy before.

ohio

Watch, this video will be on the “kook” web sites saying that they are foreign troops and that they are positioning for martial law to be declared.

Ex-PH2

Here’s a convoy for you.

OAE CPO USN Ret

Damn, now I want to watch that movie again.

CLAW131

First Interstate road trip away from Mommy’s basement??

Pinto Nag

Link?? I’m not seeing anything that leads to an article.

nbcguy54

Click on the word “post” next to his name at the top.

Pinto Nag

Thanks, but I talked with Jonn, and he says the link is on Facebook. I’m not on Facebook, so I’m out of the loop on this one.

JarHead Pat

That guy is to stupid to breed,quick kill him with fire.

Rerun0369

Sigh…………

Sparks

It’s the UN troops of course. That has been a conspiracy theory around for decades. Makes me feel good to see our troops in a convoy.

Joshua: “See, they’re practicing. They’re doing something. They’re practicing. They’re getting ready for something….Yeah, something’s goin’ on guys that we don’t know about.”

Um, Josh, try the shorter–much shorter–list. That would be the one comprised of those things you do know about.

ExHack

They’re practicing driving their APCs on the freeways. OMFG, call Alex Jones.

Tonight’s debate pits Josh Wilcox against Rev. Al Sharpton. Our moderator is Dan Rather.

UpNorth

You’re determined to make me ruin a laptop or a keyboard on my desktop, aren’t you?

Hondo

Looks like we have another sighting of Run-DMC’s long-lost cousin – One-DMF. And I think his buddy played banjo in Deliverance.

rb325th

I hope Joshua Wilcox and many of his friends are sterile. They really should not reproduce, the gene pool is contaminated enough as it is.

FatCircles0311

Better than buses full of disease ridden illegals.

Roger in Republic

Yes, at least the big green vehicles with “US Army” painted on them belong here and have a right to transit the Military Highway System.

Ex-PH2

Drill weekend, huh? And they’ve never heard of that before?

OH, s#!t, whatever will they do????

I’m going to go look for a big, hard brick wall now and pound my head on it.

Thanks for sharing the video!

streetsweeper

NO! PH! NO! Do not bang your head against a brickwall! It’ll leave funky looking groove marks on ya forehead… *cackle*

AT season-you have to get your vehicles from the armory to wherever you are doing annual training somehow.

My wife commented on how some of her friends on facebook were commenting on seeing military vehicles on the road the other day. One said something like “all the Army men were standing up (I assume they were standing in the gunners hatches, practicing doing a tactical road march)”.

Anyway, unless they had crew served weapons mounted (I am certain that they didn’t) there’s nothing much to worry about. But, of course, we know that and the average civilian doesn’t.

Roger in Republic

They are just enjoying the Army version of air conditioning. Summer TDY trips out of FT.Huachuca to places like Yuma and White sands were never fun.

68W58

You’ll be pleased (or maybe not) to know that the new variant HMMWV’s all have A/C.

SFC D

Don’t forget fun places like Florence, Safford, Douglas, Luke, DM, and occasionally a lucky few in Flagstaff

streetsweeper

Too bad this dingleberry left the “Convoy Ahead” warning vehicles out of his lil clip…f’ng dumbass. I’ll check my groups on FB and see if its surfaced in those. I get plenty of shitheads posting Alex Jones crap, soooo..

Hondo

He was probably so damn oblivious to reality around him that he missed it, street.

Climb to Glory

The levels of stupid in that video are astounding. Hussar on the move?

OldSargeUSAR

Climb:

Is Hussy-Pussy still around? Classic douchebag.

Ex-PH2

He hasn’t shown up just yet. Maybe tomorrow night. Or maybe never.

We haven’t had a chewtoy in such a long time…. but he ran away last night. Maybe his mommy told him to get off the net.

Climb to Glory

Yeah, he’s been hanging around lately. He tried picking a fight last night, but was presented with counter argument. He took his ball and went home soon after. That was after he dropped ordinance on us(OEF/OIF veterans)when he called us “pussy occupiers.” He’s an intellectual lightweight. When challenged by a superior intellect he folds like a lawn chair.

Ex-PH2

This is where Joshua has been living until recently.

http://news.msn.com/offbeat/mystery-100-meter-wide-hole-appears-at-russias-worlds-end?GT1=51501

He had been inhabiting the nether regions of Troglopolis until recently. Just a short while ago, he and his lovely, pale companiong were forced from their underworld home into the sun, where they discovered a world they had never seen before… and didn’t know what to call it.

And then they saw that something was definitely going on.

electro

We used to live just south of the firing range in Yakima, WA. This poor idiot would have freaked a hundred times over every summer! Dumbasses, dumbasses everywhere!

UpNorth

He’d go nuts if he was on I-75, near Grayling, Mi., most anytime during the summer.

Ex-PH2

Scary black helicopters over my house, three to six in formation, flying right over my house!!!!! And they come from some mysterious place called Great Lakes — whatever that is.

electro

When I was in high school we lived in a trailer park at the end of the runway in Gallup, New Mexico. When they would move Apache helicopters over our house, hours at a time. Great Mistakes; the only aircraft I remember there was some older fighter/trainer planted near the entrance of the training center?

68W58

The guy crossed from Tennessee to Kentucky and saw military vehicles? I’m assuming he was somewhere along I-24? I wonder if he saw the big signs for Ft. Campbell along the way.

CLAW131

68W, he was on the eastern side between Lexington and Knoxville. That Rarity Mountain Road is Exit 156 off of I-75.

68W58

Maybe Pennsylvania guard heading home from somewhere (Shelby?). I watched the video and those were Strykers-Pennsylvania has a Stryker brigade and if they were headed to western Pennsylvania they might have taken that route.

CLAW131

Yep, or they could be some outfit coming/going to AT at Blue Grass Army Depot up by Richmond/Lexington,KY.

korea95

my head hurts after reading those comments. when exactly did the morons take over?

Ex-PH2

1972

68W58

I was going to say 1874 congressional elections.

1974

Ex-PH2

Nixon had a full dose of personal stupidity going on.

68W58

Here’s a pretty good piece on the damage done by the “Class of ’74” http://ashbrook.org/publications/oped-busch-06-1974/

Whatever shortcomings Nixon may have had, he did not subject the country to suffer them for the next 40 years.

Hondo

In fairness, some of that can be blamed on Nixon. Had he not been paranoid, he’d never have OKed the Watergate cover-up (he wasn’t involved in planning the break-in itself). And had that not occurred, there’s a good chance that the country wouldn’t have elected a veto-proof group of leftist fools in 1974.

Hondo

Au contraire, Ex-PH2. Nixon was far from being a saint and was probably clinically paranoid (I say probably because the media really was out to get him), but he was decidedly NOT stupid. Nor for the most part were his policies.

Nixon was dealt a truly crap hand by Lying Lyndon, both in foreign policy and domestically. IMO it’s a miracle the Nixon administration managed to do as well as they did.

Hack Stone

Maybe they are on their way to participate in another DoD mandated Gay Pride Parade.

Who would have thought that the Interstate Road System was actually being used for what it was designed for? I blame Eisenhower.

ExHack

Again, this is what a lack of knowledge of history and an excess of entitlement breeds. People now just ass-u-me that the Interstates were created for their personal convenience and enjoyment – which is a nice side benefit, of course, but not what they were built for.

Isnala

True but lets hope we don’t ever have find out these morons reactions to the reason there’s mandated 1 mile perfectly streight sections with no over passes or overhead signage. In case anyone doesn’t get the military applications of having nice wide open streight stretches roads, let me give yah a hint its not so one can see how fast a tank (or your GTO) can do a 1/4 mile. For the totally obtuse crowd (VWPusy and others) it so we can land fighters and bombers just about anywhere in a pinch should their regular spots gets taken out by a nuke.

ExHack

I hate to sound as 8TFU as VWPsucker, but I NEVER thought of that. Someone did something smart back in the day.

RayRaytheSBS

While it is true that the primary purpose of the interstate was for the use of the military in a time of war, the 1/5 rule is an urban legend.

https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/publicroads/00mayjun/onemileinfive.cfm

While the Nazis did it with the Autobahn, their road beds our deeper like an actual runway and have anywhere from 24-36 inches of road bed.

From what little this grunt knows, the road bed of most highways in the US is 12-18 inches at most. You would not be able to conduct air operations on the road without causing serious damage to it. Making it impossible for vehicles to use it as well.

Having done Dirt Strip operations with C-130’s and C-17’s I would say that this would be the last, last ditch effort. The Engineering requirements to keep that ‘runway’ serviceable and keep the STS from having a conniption fit would be excessive.

In summation; Interstate Highway: Go for Movement of Military vehicles (what it was MADE for), not so good for fixed wing aircraft.

David

not to mention big jets require damn near 2 miles runways. And running out of runway is one of those non-negotiable things, like running out of fuel. The consequences are pretty much inevitable.

Mustang1LT

Ummmmmm………There’s a certain lawer up Oregon way that may argue with you about that fuel thing. Just sayin’.

🙂

NHSparky

God forbid he takes a vacation to Hawaii and sees about 10 BILLION freakin sailors from (literally) 20 different countries crawling all over Waikiki…

Ohiozoomie

Pretty funny considering We passed these guys yesterday, but a bit scared I was sharing the road with the knucklehead taking the video. They were a marine reserve unit heading out for training. We were heading out to tennessee for leave and ran into the engineering unit in Corbin, ky fueling up.

Chiles

Are the bright yellow “wide load” banners the armor equivalent of the PT belt? I kid!

Isnala

I thought FLOTUS was busy spending our money again in Mass. Not touring Kentuckey.. Too far?

Otto

Dammit! What was the possibility that someone would video the secret convoy driving down the road!! I sure hope to hell they never find out about the secret airdrop training conducted over Amerika or the secret bombing ranges where we practice air to ground bombing.

Oh the humanity!

SaraSnipe

Well, shucky-dangdarn, ol’ Josh stumbled onto our plot.Uncle Jess is fixin to load up his shotgun and take care of them thar revenooers.

Still serving(currently in Afghanistan)

The people in the vehicle recording the video need to stop inbreeding NOW! Their ignorance is impressive.

MrBill

It’s encouraging to see that many of Wilcox’s Facebook friends are making fun of his paranoia.

Derek

1. What the hell was that other thing making commentary?! “dang, thaat wun wuz pack’d down weeth bags”. SMFH (FWIW my kin came out of Pikeville KY, even they don’t talk that stupid, the video commentor thing was a byproduct of VERY poor breeding choices and probably drugs)

2. “…then you got THESE guys” Just the way he said it makes me wonder…

3. “Yeah something’s going on we don’t know about” There are millions of things that occur in our country everyday that you don’t know about, fuckface. Right now, there’s stuff going on in the building next to me that I don’t know about. Damn idiot, probably thinks any and all activity by “big bad government” or “evil corporations” are all out to get him and his ilk.

I quit. I don’t even want to try anymore at being a hard working, free-thinking individual. These ‘tards outnumber us and it’s just bringing me down.

Ex-PH2

Chemtrails, Derek. Chemtrails. And three suns (sunspots) in the sky. I’m telling you, this planet is being moved to another dimension. Or has been moved. Or something.

Ex-PH2

++100!

He’ll be here all week, folks.

Be sure to tip the waitress.

ExHack

Is Mercury in retrograde again?

Ex-PH2

I do wonder what Joshua and his friend will think if they see this HE haul of military equipment.

68W58

God-chaining all that stuff down in the summer heat, then breaking chain somewhere like Ft. Stewart, then chaining it back up again two weeks later to get it home-ugh!

Ex-PH2

I haven’t seen any trains like this coming through where I live, but I do see CSX hauling long lines of tan tanker cars, so I’m thinking they may have a contract for hauling fuel for US military, maybe?

They haul those big enclosed automobile transports between factories and dealerships. And there are the coal-hauling trains that supply the nearest power station to me, 35 miles away.

There’s a lot of freight moved at night. I can hear the wheels clacking on the rails from the lines west and east of my house. I like that sound. it means business is busy.

rb325th

Funny you should post that. I saw one pop up on my facebook newsfeed someone had posted, and all the loons were prancing around screaming invasion is coming. FEMA Camps, DHS, and Illuminati oh my… We’re off to see the nutjobs…follow the tinfoil brick road.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

We truly have become a nation of complete fucking morons…this is what happens when you interfere with the natural order of things, instead of survival of the fittest you end up with proliferation of the dimmest.

Martinjmpr

Back in the 90’s when we were deploying troops to the Balkans, every now and then someone would photograph a train load of APCs painted white with UN markings and the nut-o-sphere would blow a gasket thinking it was an army of UN soldiers, undoubtedly under the personal command of Janet Reno, come to take their guns away.

Of course, this was in the early days of the internet so it wasn’t quite as easy to spread this nonsense and it took a lot longer than it does today.

Virtual Insanity

Well, Joshua, you are now internet famous for being a moron.

How’s that feel?

I hope you don’t drive through Southeast Alabama and freak out about all the helicopters….

thebesig

“…they usually do this on rails”

Unless the anticipated trip is less than a day, then they’ll convoy. They’re not training for anything major at the moment, just conducting movement and doing “during PMCS.” 🙄

thebesig

I meant tractor trailers in the quote. :mrgreen:

68W58

I’ve convoyed for more than one day before going to AT; you’ve got to have somewhere to secure the vehicles and somewhere for everyone to bed down-but you can do it.

CLAW131

Way,way,back in the day when the NTC at Ft. Irwin was just starting up,our outfits from Ft. Carson would convoy the wheeled vehicles out to there. I was the jeep driver for our Bn Maint Warrant Officer and we finally made it to Ft. Irwin after four days on the road march. Lots of alligators/brush fires to put out along the way.

MGySgtRet

Has anyone seen my tin foil hat?? I can’t do my good thinkin’ without my tin foil hat!!!

Denise Williams

The part that struck me, and I’m surprised no one else noted or commented on it…the female’s statement, “Even waved to one of the soldiers”. Like she can’t decide if she’s freaked out for having ‘engaged’ with this bizarre creature or perhaps was wondering if they used some mind-numbing-tinfoil-penetrating-control-ray, which explains her initial lack of awareness.

“Even waved to one of the soldiers” my God! The horror! It’ll take gallons, I say gallons of organically produced by pandas shatting on Gaia blessed mounds of mulberry leaves sanitizer to bring her chakras back in line with the center of the Milky Way. Can you imagine if she actually TOUCHED one of them? Oh My God! She may have breathed in air molecules that contained their exhalations! Quick! Get the Neti pot, the thrice distiller snot of a virgin Nepalese yak! Maybe her mouth wasn’t open during that inhalation and she can rinse the offended particles out of her nostrils.

I’m really amazed no one else noted that one line. For me, it sums up the whole thing.
