I know that some retail outlets have contracts with FEMA and various state and county emergency management agencies, but I wasn't aware of the DOD connection.

I'm still not inclined to read anything too nefarious into the Jade Helm exercise, but the Wal-Mart store closings do seem like theyre might be a little more to it. The store that's closing here in Tulsa, by all accounts, really does have some plumbing problems. But having it close for six months seems pretty extreme, and there certainly have been a lot of questions about it. This was the first time I heard anyone connect it to the Jade Helm exercise, so I figured I better report it.

Onward and upward,
