While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Operation Jade Helm begins: U.s. special forces (Green Berets, Navy Seals, and the 82nd Airborne Division) start a two-month long exercise in the southwestern states, during which time they will attempt to blend in with local populations undetected.  This is contrary to earlier assurances that the operation was to be conducted in remote areas, and would not affect state residents.

       Question: If they are supposed to be anti-terrorist training, why is it being conducted against U.s. subject/enemy/citizens?  Why is it not being conducted in an Arab nation?
