The CBS News "reporter" presents this like it's an amazing field trip for third graders. If the Beltway mob wants to bomb another Islamic hellhole that's sick enough. To even think of putting our men on the ground in Syria is criminal and much worse that the purpose is hand to hand combat against chemical weapons (WMD's) with the lame excuse that they could be used "against Americans." If anyone wants to harm Americans it's because of hatred incited by the criminal US political class against its own citizens whom it despises..

7/18/13, "U.S. military prepares for potential chemical weapons in Syria," CBSNews.com, David Martin, Fort Bragg, N.C.
"The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, told a
Senate panel Thursday that he has military options for Syria -- should
the president ever give the order. That order might come if Assad's
chemical weapon stockpiles are in danger of falling into the wrong
hands. U.S. troops are training for that, and we went along.
About 1,500 paratroopers dropped out of the night sky from an
altitude of just 800 feet, bringing with them nearly 190,000 pounds of
equipment. They were the first of some 4,000 soldiers from the 82nd
Airborne Division parachuting into an exercise designed in part to
prepare for the worst in Syria.
After seizing an airfield in the woods of North Carolina, they
launched a helicopter assault on a compound where, for purposes of this
exercise, chemical agents were believed to be stored. Their mission: get
to the chemicals before they fall into the hands of terrorists who
would use them against Americans.
Maj. Gen. John
Nicholson is commander of the 82nd. "As we look at the evolving
situation -- Syria and other places around the world
-- we're preparing
to deal with the reality of securing chemical weapons," he said....
So how do chemical weapons change the operation?
"Chemical
weapons are not something we've encountered in the last ten years of
counterinsurgency," explained Nicholson. "So there's many dimensions to
the issue of securing chemical stockpiles that we're working through
right now."
Nicholson acknowledges that chemical weapons
make it a more dangerous situation. "We want to minimize the risk to our
paratroopers ... and then how do we deal with the potential hazards to
the locals in that area, to the civilians," he said.
The
paratroopers would keep everybody else away until experts arrived to
decontaminate the site and arrange for the disposal of the chemicals.
Asked if he has special units trained and equipped to handle chemical
weapons, Nicholson replied:
"We do in the United States Army and
they're out here training with us right now," he said.
It's
been a decade since U.S. forces went into Iraq looking for chemical
weapons. They didn't find any, but the threat is back -- this time in
Syria. If U.S. forces are ever sent on another chemical weapons hunt, it
will be the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne."
================================
Comment: We had terrorists in this country who wanted to harm Americans and the US gov. showed it wasn't the slightest bit concerned about them and still blames the Boston bombers on us, we must have done something to make them angry. Where are all the screaming anti-war protesters we heard for 8 years during Bush? The whole thing was an act. The media is fine with whatever is done to impoverish and kill Americans. The US military should be closed down. It's just being used against Americans now.
