Task & Purpose: Pentagon Masses Troops, Equipment, And Ships For Hurricane Florence Response
The U.S. military has “quite literally surrounded” the East Coast states that Hurricane Florence is expected to hit with personnel and equipment, which are poised to swoop in to help people in need, said Air Force Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, head of U.S. Northern Command.
A total of 7,000 U.S. troops have tasked with taking part in relief efforts, of which about 3,000 are active-duty service members, O’Shaughnessy told reporters on Thursday. Thousands of other troops from all military branches have been ordered to prepare to deploy if needed.
Florence is expected to bring heavy rains to North and South Carolina as well as Georgia. The storm could especially drench certain areas if it stalls for several hours, according to the National Weather Service.

You realize that the U.S. military members receive anthrax shots right?
Use of the Anthrax against the military will be useless. It can only harm civilians.
So any use of anthrax is a war crime.
I don't think any keyboard warriors got their anthrax shots.
If "you" refers to me, the poster of the article above, a quick read would indicate we are not talking about anthrax
"Mr Chen added that Anthrax has been found in the blood of North Korean defectors."
"In other words, they’ve either been vaccinated against Anthrax or been exposed to the Anthrax virus or Anthrax bacteria rather, this a very serious situation."
"...a quick read would indicate we are not talking about anthrax" - Fred
I am just nonplussed that some one could have such a huge reading comprehension failure.
Just WOW!
This topic was about a hurricane? how we go to hurricane to chemical weapons.. Now to anthrax?

On September 14, 2018 at 8:29 AM Fred posted about Anthrax.
Why?
To perhaps to show it is a very scary world, it is getting worse and that this is all Trump's fault.
He does not have to prove a thing. It is the ole throw it up against the wall and see if it will stick routine.
1. I did not post on anthrax
2. if all you can do is call names then you are a schoolyard bully
sorry. posted on anthrax above but earlier on toxic stuff not anthrax
The threadburgler strikes again!
"2. if all you can do is call names then you are a schoolyard bully" - Fred
"I don't think any keyboard warriors got their anthrax shots."
"I am just nonplussed that some one could have such a huge reading comprehension failure."
Pick out the name, if you can.
Fred is in civility mode. He took his medication. Everyone else is an asshole racist bigot who disagrees with him. Freds horse is very high in the clouds. Next post: Fred is off his meds and becomes the very schoolyard bully he accuses everyone else of being. Fred loves the protection and anonymity of his keyboard. Fred is a tool. Dont be like Fred.
Do you talk that to your co workers, children, spouse, boss, friends?
if you have nothing to say about a post, why bother to spit venom? plain silly
You really do not see both sides of yourself, do you? Silly, bi-polar boy.

TRY THIS girly boy...you are like a low ego school girl whining on the playground. Again, pick here and there but have nada to offer, nothing to say, nothing to stand for except trying to belittle others since there is an emptiness in you

FLIPPING A NOTHINGBURGER
Lapides,
"girly boy." Why are you using LGBT slurs. I thought you were a Liberal and very pro LGBT. Now I'm going to have to rethink everything you've said.
After Kaepernick Ad, Nike Shares Hit a High
Sales went up after the ad was released
Real runners with real budgets went from Nike to New Balance to Saucony to something else.
Why pay $120 for a $35 pair of shoes.
If you buy Nike, you are paying for & being duped by marketing or you are virtue signaling.
Fred never was a runner. If he is talking about Nike it is solely to support a political cause.
'Nuff said about the skater.
Note: Fred has run NY Marathon and some 8 half marathons.
What Trump Doesn’t Get About Defendants Who Flip
The president says collaborators like Manafort should never be trusted. Here’s what prosecutors say.
Martini time so I will sadly leave you gentle folks, BUT DO TRY THIS
plz put aside the clever and personal remarks since I will not be here till tomorrow and your wit and wisdom will alas not be appreciated by me...or my hermit crab
"In February 2016, Manafort approached Donald Trump through a mutual friend, Thomas J. Barrack Jr. ...
On June 20, 2016, Trump fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and promoted Manafort to the position.
However, two days later (August 19th. , Trump announced his acceptance of Manafort's resignation from the campaign"
60 days as campaign manager. WOW! Collusion
Fred is one pisseur d’encre.
So Fred has run and likes Nikes.
More money than sense.
Most people do not like to pay double to quadruple what something is worth.
Well Fred did work for government.
Go figure
Lapides,
"Martini time so I will sadly leave you gentle folks". That's ok. We'll get to converse some more of why you don't like LGBT's, I really don't understand the "girly boy" slur you use.
