Grand Rapids Marines were forced to cut short their training exercise in Toledo Friday by the Mayor’s office.

Pam at Right Voices asks: Why Were 200 Michigan Marine Reservists Kicked Out Of Toledo?

She has more links, although links are sparse on this one.

I think the answer to Pam’s question – is the same reason they’re trying to force the Recruiters out of Berkeley; the Mayor is anti-military, and because it’s popular to be a self-loathing America-hating military-bashing leftist.

The Company A 1st Battalion 24th Marines were conducting an urban warfare exercise at the Madison Building and Promenade Park. Then someone from the mayor’s office told the 200 Marines that the training area was no longer available and to leave the city.

The group was supposed to continue the training on Saturday as well.

So Alpha Company packed up its gear and headed back to Michigan without a reason for the departure.

24 Hour News 8 was at their base in Grand Rapids when five busloads of reservists returned around 9 p.m.

Such training sessions have been held in Toledo before. But this latest issue could be addressed in Washington, D.C.

Alpha Company will resume the training sessions in West Michigan but plans have not been finalized yet.

I think all cities like Berkeley and Toledo should be put on notice.

Does Toledo get federal earmarks?

Southern Sass on Crime and Cao’s blog has it, too.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
