Military Families Intimidated By Strangers

The FBI says men of Middle Eastern descent are approaching military families and intimidating them. These families are believed to have been monitored by the men.

Why is this not at the top of the headlines?

The alert was issued earlier this week. I found it only by Googling the term, military family.

According to CBS News, the men came to the homes of several military families in Colorado and Wyoming. They asked questions about their military members’ jobs. They tried to gain personal information. They were intimidating.

This comes on the heels of the DOD warning military families that our enemy was here. In the U.S. And they were targeting family members.

Turns out, they are in our own front yards. And they are not afraid.

The FBI is monitoring the situation. Congressional members are concerned.

I think I’m not alone is saying military families are outraged.

Ladies, be aware. Watch the vehicles that travel your neighborhoods. Lock your doors at night. Set your alarms. Know where your children play during the day.

The fact that our families have been contacted and intimidated in our own front yards by our enemy is disturbing. The fact that it doesn’t make the top of the news that night is horrifying.

It’s time to watch each other’s backs. It’s time to go to your commands and demand to know what they are doing to keep our families safe. It’s time to make your own plan to protect yourself and your children.

This should not be at the bottom of the newsreel. This should be front and center. Our military families sacrifice enough without being intimidated in their own homes. Call your senators, call your commanders. Make them address this. Now.
