Reminds me of the "FEMA camps conspiracy theory" and the "Jade Helm 15 conspiracy theories"

@Elderberry The key word here is "theory".
I have a news flash for these goobers. In order to conduct Special Operations to rescue captured soldiers or civilians,or to take out enemy leadership,you MUST TRAIN TO DO SO IN A REALISTIC MANNER.
IIRC,the last training raid I observed was a raid on a closed high school to rescue local "civilian authorities" (locals who had been hired to role play) being held by "enemy forces". In this particular case,the "enemy forces" were from the US Army 82nd Airborne Division that were role-playing as the Army of Occupation,and anybody that thinks those guys are patsy's that will just lay down and roll over to have their bellies rubbed needs to try it and see how well it works out for them.
To do this the SF students had to come up with a action plan for the raid entirely on their own with ZERO input from the instructors (Who are themselves experienced SF qualified soldiers),whose only real function is to play the role of "ghosts". They are there wandering around,observing,and writing their thoughts down,but taking no part whatsoever in the raid planning or execution.
Yeah,this particular class did come up with a good plan and pulled off the raid and successfully rescued the prisoners. Good thing for them they did too,because if they had failed,they would have washed out of SF training and been sent back to their old units. This field training exercise was their last training exercise before they graduated and became full-fledged SF soldiers,and it was also their Final Exam.
"Mock buildings" just don't cut it for this training. You MUST have real buildings,real traffic problems,real citizens wandering all around with the ability to drop a dime on anything they see that is suspicious,and real negative consequences if you fail.
