Obama's Civilian Army Takes Mighty Scary Turn: Recruiting Military for "green" war

You'll remember this:




Is this new "Green Army" part of Obama's intentions. It is clear that his friend's are more than knee-deep in this new project.

From Atlas Shrugs:

More disturbing developments in the creation of Obama's brown green shirts. The Apollo Alliance is recruiting for a "green" army:


You'll recall the Apollo Alliance claims to have written the Cap & Trade legislation as well as the Stimulus Bill; this according to Glenn Beck. The former "Green Jobs Czar" and self-professed Communist Van Jones sat on the Board of the AA. The New York State Apollo Alliance Director is Jeffery Jones, co-founder with William Ayers of the Weather Underground. Now these enemies-within-the-gates are recruiting our veterans. Part of Barry's enforcement crew? Retired military can be intimidating to civilians if they choose. (hat tip Deb)

Disturbing excerpts: ....

two green jobs programs—Veterans Green Jobs of Colorado and the Veterans Conservation Corps of Washington state—and the recently launched “Operation Free” campaign that has veterans touring the country to call for federal action on climate change. Veterans Green Jobs runs a 9-week “Home Energy Auditor Training” (HEAT) for veterans, using a rapid, hands-on “military” style of training ....

Deb notes, "Since our veterans are already trained, I'm assuming they will be training civilians to control belligerent citizens, etc".

“We think veterans are uniquely qualified to lead the environmental restoration here at home,” said Kirsten Maynard of Veterans Green Jobs. “Not only have they seen environmental destruction across the world; they also have technical skills and other kinds of work skills that allow them to do the really tough work that needs to be done - like go into homes and crawl in the attic and the basement. They’ve been trained by the military to do it, and they actually feel comfortable being in that kind of environment.”

(Pamela's friend Deb asks: Am I the only one wondering if homeowners' permission will be required for anyone, let alone retired military, to be crawling around their attics and basements? Where would YOU store the survival provisions and ammo? Just asking....)

The Veterans Conservation Corps has also inaugurated a new program, called Veterans Corps, which is modeled on the AmeriCorps program.

“It’s a revitalization of a mission they had in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Mark Fischer, who runs the Veterans Conservation Corps. “Once they left the military, that mission is gone, and it’s a big loss. When they lose that purpose it can be disheartening and disorienting. We try to create a meaningful job - for a purpose-driven life.”

"Purpose-driven life". I hate to say I told you so about all those Rick-Warren reading Obamabots out there. Is this what ol' Rick had in mind all along?

There is a retired Marine about 80 years old lives across the way at the senior housing. Every spring he does the gardening for the whole complex. Place is gorgeous from April to October. That's my idea of a veteran in a green job.

"Where would you store the survival provisions and ammo?" Exactly. What the hell do basements and attics have to do with the "environmental restoration"? This comes of trying to turn our military people into road and school builders instead of soldiers.

I remember Micheal Savage mentioned the eco-version of the Green Shirts. The original Green Shirt movement came out from an Irish Fascist movement from the National Corporate Party.

I can't imagine any ex-military are going to buy into this bullshit.

Ye gods!

Using veterans to enforce greenie crap? No doubt, my house would fail the tests.

RRA,
I've always been wary of Rick Warren.

He's trouble.
