Overseas deployments. Yeah, right.

LA Military Exercises


LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Joint military training exercises will be held evenings in downtown Los Angeles through Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD will be providing support for the exercises, which will also be held in other portions of the greater Los Angeles area, police said.
Training sites ``have been carefully selected to ensure the event does not negatively impact the citizens of Los Angeles and their daily routine,'' a department official said.
The training, which a department official said would involve helicopters, has been coordinated with local authorities and owners of the training sites, police said.
Police said safety precautions have been taken to prevent risk to the general public and military personnel involved.
The exercises are closed to the public, police said.
The exercises are designed to ensure the military's ability to operate in urban environments, prepare forces for upcoming overseas deployments, and meet mandatory training certification requirements, police said.

How in the fuck are they going to hold military excercises in downtown LA without affecting the public?
That's just the first question that won't get answered.

  2. well they need a deserted city that used to thrive. They need a city that is pretty much vacant but the lights are still on. It was between LA and Detroit...

    Yeah this stinks to high heaven.
