Civilian National Security Force facts

Wow.  I have never seen Drudge and FoxNews so obviously in the tank.

However, don’t fret.  Obama’s Civilian National Security Force is not some type of facist military force.

It is the Brainchild of the current administration’s Secretary of Defence Robert Gates.

Last fall Gates began giving a series of speeches about the need to create a more modern State Department and a “civilian national security force” that could “deploy teams that combine agricultural specialists and engineers and linguists and cultural specialists who are prepared to go into some of the most dangerous areas alongside the military.”

“If we’ve got a State Department or personnel that have been trained just to be behind walls, and they have not been equipped to get out there alongside our military and engage, then we don’t have the kind of national security apparatus that is needed. That has to be planned for; it has to be paid for. Those personnel have to be trained. And they all have to be integrated.”

So relax everyone.  Drudge has just lost a wheel and is trying to scare everyone with misinformation.
