I find this odd. Aren't there enough training grounds out there for them to train in urban situations?

I like how the guy says "overseas drills". Are we preparing to invade downtown Moscow. This is going to have Alex Jones steaming more than a bucket of lobsters.

Yes it was training. My question was isn't there urban training setting without flying over civilian population.

I agree on this 100%. I realize that to do urban training you need an urban setting but it seems very risky to put the civilian population at risk of injury or death for training purposes. What I mean by that is God forbid one of those Blackhawks makes a wrong move and crashes, many civilians, who may not have even been aware of what was going on in the first place are dead.

Same thing in Houston yesterday. Drill at an old school or something, people in the neighborhoods got a little upset.

Comrade's Please, It's for the good of the country...
Downtown was chosen for a reason...Less chance of return fire from the lower class neighborhood's...

I dont like the idea because I feel it is putting the public at risk of injury or death if an accident should occur. But what disturbes me the most is the firing of the guns. Why fire blanks over a crowded american city? Whats next kicking down doors and then saying it's only training. I don't like it.

Sure, it's training. They're training us to accept this kind of activity.
