Special Forces AXE their plan to infiltrate Utah and tame the indigenous population...after locals complain about exercise 'imposing martial law'Okay so... how is THIS for an "in your face" maneuver? Coming SOON to a town near YOU :P
QuoteThe U.S. Army chose a quiet community in central Utah as the training ground for Special Forces soldiers needing to develop Jason Bourne-like skills and to learn how to build a resistance movement by infiltrating the town leadership.
With the deeply religious culture present in Manti, Utah and the desert landscape of the area, residents were deemed ideal candidates by the Defense Department to role play with soldiers in the 10th Special Forces as part of a two week training exercise in July on unconventional warfare tactics.
Now that sequestration is in full effect, the Utah mission was called on Thursday to the relief of residents who had feared their community would turn into a scene out of Hunger Games.

Unconventional : The Defense Department had selected a central Utah community to participate in a training exercise for Army Special Forces soldiers(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/09/article-2290561-18876716000005DC-232_634x350.jpg)
Setting: The town of Manti, Utah was deemed an ideal location because of the desert landscape and the strong religious conviction on its residentsQuoteThe exercise, named Robin Sage, is a component of Phase Four training for Army Special Forces soldiers, also known as the Green Berets.
Lasting four weeks, the large-scale exercise is typically held at Fort Bragg in North Carolina but officials were looking for a closer locale for soldiers of the 4th battalion of the 10th Special Forces, stationed at Fort Carson near Colorado Springs.

'Every place we go [to train] is a different culture... a different mentality throws them off and requires [soldiers] to adapt,' Staff Sgt. Ryan Sabin, a spokesman for the 10th Special Forces, told The Salt Lake Tribune.
Last fall, officials representing the DOD met with communities across Central Utah, including Sanpete, Sevier, Emery and Carbon counties, to recruit local governments to host the training exercise scheduled for July 2013.

That seems like its just asking for trouble. what if one of the locals is one of us "crazies" who doesn't necessarily trust the US government, and opens fire on the military, who would surely retaliate. there would be a news story next week about a massacre in a small town in Utah.
yeah I could see that happening especially considering that UTAH just voted on THIS
