The supposed Jade Helm 15 conspiracy may be the single stupidest thing to come out of Texas in 20 years, and for a state that has reliably given us such treasures as Louie Gohmert, Steve Stockman, Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, and George W. Bush himself that is saying something.It may not even be possible to adequately convey how stupid this story is. There may not be words in the English language—there may in fact be no words in any language, simply because no civilization has yet existed that ever needed to convey a stupidity as deep or as empty-headed as would apply here. It is a stupidity so stupid that we may be able to use it as future measure of the viability of nation-states; if a majority of any definable population is stupid enough to believe this thing, it is evidence that that population has lost the intellectual ability to maintain a government.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered members of the Texas Military to monitor federal troops in an upcoming two-month training exercise planned for the Lone Star State.
Let us explain. Below the fold we go, not because we want to but because we have to.
Let us explain. Jade Helm 15 is the latest in a very long series of whimsically titled training exercises conducted by the U.S. military in order to maintain troop readiness, test combat strategies, and otherwise work out the kinks in America’s reliably top-notch ability to blow the holy hell out of any nation on Earth with a single presidential phone call. This particular one will be a two-month-long affair meant to simulate special operations in a the brutally harsh environment of a third-world desert hellhole—hence the choice of Texas—and will feature some of the nation’s most skilled special operations experts, including the Rangers, the Green Berets, and the Navy SEALs. Like all similar operations, it is likely to funnel serious cash into local coffers, but otherwise is not likely to have any noticeable impact on state residents aside from the inconvenience of having to pass lines of camo-painted Humvees on local freeways as troops make their way to and from the training grounds.
