According to Kerry Appel, director of Cafe Rebelion:
Quote:
The US Army is planning on taking from 500,000 to 1,000,000 acres from thousands of landowners in Southeastern Colorado in order to expand the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) into the largest military training site in the United States. The army claims that this is necessary to train more soldiers to fight in Iraq and in future "robotic" style warfare, to be able to strike, from long distance, "at anyone, in any country, at any time".
The current plans of the army are to try to find willing sellers for these hundreds of thousands of acres or, that failing, to seize the land by force, that is, through the condemnation and seizure of the land.

So, what are your thoughts on this? It sounds to me like the US government is trying to create a mercenary society and is willing to steal land in order to transform our country into a massive, sadistic cult of imperialism.
