As a reflection, soldiers that cultivate an anti-citizen, pro-statist ideology may find it best for their personal safety to take any vacation leave away from their hometowns.

I am writing this to you today not to oversell a situation nor undersell it, but to give you the facts as they have been presented.
It is not a new concept that the U.S. Military has think tanks and generals brainstorming possible scenarios for War in the U.S. from Invasions to small sleeper cells, As well as rioting or other situations, It would be foolish not to have those types of plans fleshed out and thought of and have tentative plans on the books.
However I had noticed a disturbing trend in our Military and Homeland Securities thought process in regards to its own citizens in the last few years.
This thought process is one of viewing a large segment of the population as “dangerous” or even as “enemies”.
Before I continue one must recognize that there are two groups in the military, Officers and Enlisted, the realm of planning and thinking up scenarios as well as leading men into battle in the real world is the sole domain of the Officer Corps in the United States Military. Enlisted Personnel are folks like you and me, often right out of high school who do the brunt of the work, digging the fighting holes, filling sandbags and busting down doors. Within both these camps are three groups, shitbags who are without morals or ethics, thinking patriots who understand the oaths we took, and robot patriots, who think they are patriotic by following orders blindly.
Small Wars Journal
The Small Wars Journal is an online magazine that focuses on counter-insurgency, an article appeared there last year (July 2012) that focused on fighting a “hypothetical” right wing secessionist/insurgency movement in the United States, this movement was “motivated by the goals of the “tea party”".
This article was written by Col Kevin Benson USA(Ret.) who is a seminar leader at the University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth who had served as the Director of the School of Advanced Military Studies. The article was co-written by Jennifer Weber who was a Associate Professor of History at the University of Kansas.
