Are you a possible target for a terrorist?

It must have been about four months ago when a friend of mine whose son-in-law is in the National Guard and stationed on Long Island as a helicopter pilot trainer and officer got a directive from his commander that all military personnel who are off base must wear civilian clothes.  They were told that the entire U.S. military and their families were being targeted by terrorists who live in our country.

These Muslim terrorists live here under some pretense that they are law abiding immigrants or whatever excuse our government affords to them. One might be your next door neighbor or another could be your college roommate. They are trained to "fit in" and act like Americans.

Since the shooting terrorist incident in Chattanooga where five of our military were gunned down by a Jihadist terrorist, the Marines and Navy are considering the removal of any military emblem on cars entering a military base or facility for safety purposes. This is something that the United States government doesn't tell anyone especially the press. Our military is not allowed to discuss it either.  Off hours, they have to sneak around and pretend they are non-military.  Obama must believe if the government doesn't give it any coverage perhaps it will all die down or go away.

The truth of the matter, terrorists are more bold and empowered than ever due to recent events such as the latest in Iran and the entire crowd in Iran screaming death to Americans as Obama strikes a deal with the enemy. Why would a country that hates our guts and wants to wipe us off the face of the planet as well as Israel make any kind of deal that we could really trust?

One of my neighbors is a retired Marine Captain who was also the Grand Marshal in the last Veterans' Day Parade. He had a Marine emblem on his car and Marine Corps license tag. Is he a potential target? What about any of us who fly the American Flag or wear red, white and blue? Are we next?

  1. I know the neighborhood presidents council is pushing the civilian C.O.P. program.I won't join in the national atmosphere that we have now. Why would I want to make myself a "soft target" riding around in the COP car? Sorry , but I won't risk my life doing what the PBSO should be doing in the first place.Patrolling our neighborhoods.
