    This is more just an FYi for everyone but today I had to go into Beaumont for a funeral at a church near the downtown area. When we were leaving, we got hung up by an extremely long train carrying nothing but military equipment heading to the port of Beaumont where a lot of military stuff is loaded for overseas military initiatives. I have not seen a train like this since the war on terror began. I also used to see them before the first gulf war. Perhaps I missed something in the news as I do not look at it near as much as I used to but we are definitely fixing to send a lot of military equipment somewhere in the world.

    I drive by the port where they are shipped almost daily and this is nothing new for at least the past 18 months. Its basically been a steady stream alternating between wind turbines and military equipment there.

    It's Obama amassing his Kenyan war machine to finally overthrow America. All of you were right!

    I am not a conspiracy theory kind of guy. This just concerned me because I have not seen it in a few years. If @ApolloRLB says he sees it daily then perhaps this is nothing.

    Well it’s been reported with North Korea this “bloody nose” tactic Trump is apparently dead set on.

    http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/artic...nose-strike-north-korea-was-clear-victor-chas

    With whatever tactics they are going to try next, the US will need to have a large amount of military assets in the South China Sea regardless. Should be shocking to no one that we would be exporting a large amount to that area.

    Also don’t forget the Saudi Deal made about a year ago. The production of that equipment could take years, and my guess is Lockheed, L3, Raytheon etc. here in Texas are largely responsible for fulfilling that order. If you saw missles, keep in mind that’s probably Raytheon. Could be seeing the fulfillment of that contract.

    Lastly... we are still at war in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and in Africa. This admin has been insanely secretive about the number of troops and where we are with them at any given time.

    What you saw being exported shouldn’t be a shock but we should be shocked at how conditioned we are to the fact that the US is in a perpetual state of war all the time.

    The train delay created extra stress right after a melancholy, transitional experience; as a coping mechanism you added significance to the event by tying it to your patriotism and conjecturing a hypothetical American conquest to be optimistic and excited about. Session's up, same time next week; cash, check or money order you can pay at reception.
