http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/06/perry-to-texas-stop-being-insane.htmlAn Infowars conspiracy theory about military takeover of the American Southwest might become a surprising wedge issue among Texass Republican presidential candidates.
The Daily Beast detailed last week how the Jade Helm 15 military training exerciseswherein U.S. Special Operations forces will move throughout the Southwest preparing for atypical warfare conditionshave set off such a noisy panic that Texass governor has ordered the states military to keep an eye on things....
Former Texas governor Rick Perry drew the sharpest contrast with Abbotts Infowars pandering.
Its OK to question your government. I do it on a regular basis, he said on May 5, per the Dallas Morning News. But the military is something else. Our military is quite trustworthy. The civilian leadership, you can always question that, but not the men and women in uniform.

Perry, the governor who sent the guard to the border does not have much to say about others

A. no, the military is the LEAST trustworthy and it is WHY you have civilian leadership
B. questioning the military has ZERO to do with rank and file members
He backed into the proper position on this issue, but he did it by exposing how much of a dumbass he actually is
