http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090224/NEWS10/902240390 This has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever read, people are actually outraged about an exercise that could save troops lives? It's not like they where going to actually confiscate the guns, they were simply going to go door to door and due routine searches with permission of the property owners. What happened to supporting the troops? In Iraq troops went door to door and searched for people or arms pretty regularly (in fact they might still do that), and being able to train for a situation like that would probably save a lot of lives of both troops and civilians.
