Hey this time they are in LA. Well, ok they might stand a better chance at getting into a real fire fight. LA Military Exercises | KFI NEWS - KFI AM 640 More Stimulating Talk Radio Something is afoot. Don't they already have cities that model those where they are being deployed? Or is this where they intend to deploy.
An easy way to mask reconig areas by calling it traing plus you never know what they could be leaving behind.
