Several years ago I heard about disgruntled vets coming home and being labelled as terrorists. I thought is was some more government BS but its true. Homeland security has contacted police departments across the US and the police are dumb enough to believe it. Read about it here.......http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/16/napolitano-stands-rightwing-extremism/?page=all

Stories like yours appear to be on the rise and it's a shame. Doesn't the government realize that the more we feel policed the more we are going to resist? It's as if they want to start a revolution just to justify stripping our rights away.

I think that's exactly what neoliberal governments are doing worldwide, pushing their populations to see how much we'll take, or maybe they just do it to show us that they're the boss and they can fuck us in the arse whenever they want.

Following up with American Legion on this....this did not get by them.
Veterans riding freight trains labeled as terrorists and outcasts say is that how the FTRA was founded? By disgruntled Vets riding freight trains who were just a little unstable?

Every single person I have ever met who has been in the service has come out of the experience mentally fucked in one way or another.

I am not overly concerned with profiling. I wear all current issue tactical gear & on occasion have been worried about harassment. I carry a legal length pocket knife, have no warrants & dont do drugs. Of course i have a felony record, a dd214 with combat MOS's, no drivers license,bank accounts etc. I am a vet & dont much participate in society. The line between patriot & domestic terrorist is thin, but I dont care enough about mainstream issues to care. You wont find me protesting ever! No occupy bullshit to get free food & gear. No g8 summits, nada. I think if you dont appear on their radar during these types of activities you should be safe. I do fear that hitchhiking & riding trains some day will get us harassed by homeland insecurity or other authorities that attempt to destroy more freedom here. Luckily that day hasnt came yet. So I trespass on railroad property, have some priors, drink a bit, travel some & dont work. Kinda sounds like most returning combat vets throughout US history. I have done enough for this country.

Tell 'em if you wanted to be a real terrorist you'd wear a suit and tie...

In a police state all citizens are considered enemies; those not considered have all ready been tortured & repurposed. Their days are spent spying on their neighbors for favors & influence. Eventually part of the population ends up in "camps" (as in internment or re-education) to be starved & killed. Im hoping that in our case they will lock us im a classification yard or make us hitchhike aimlessly around parking lots. We will hop sweet rides but discover that no trains ever leave. Our rides will just shuttle us from one side of Wallmart or the yard, to the other; but never leaving. To starve us they will cancel our ebt & start using dumpsters to hold the bodies of other citizens that were thinking against the tide. The bodies will be ingeniously converted into fuel to help with the oil needs. Sorry for this wild story but, I guess the answer is not yet. Im not a terroist, more like a sleeper cell patriot. Waiting to be activated or sent to cuba for an expectant vacation.
