Interesting

If it were a reserve unit I would not think much of it. If it is active duty at the truck stop.. very interesting as if it were just a training exercise heads would roll. It does certainly seem out of place.

If true, El Paso TX happens to have a large armor division stationed there... not exactly super strange, but as I said in another comment, the truck stop is what makes it strange.

Not sure who these other folks belonged to, but we would constantly have vehicle mounted weapons on any training exercise and that was in Texas. We would cruise those things all the way up to Vegas on down to the border. We did carry weapons too, the biggest thing is... do they have magazines in the well? One thing I do find interesting though, is the actual truck stop. That does seem off. Especially for a training exercise.

The "predictions" of things to come. Having intelligence on the matter beforehand. The only other way would be to do these things themselves... and given the proximity to other persons, that is something I am not willing to believe.
