About those Navy Seals.. Now that I have a few minutes to explain why the militants thinks Seals are on the way..
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 40m40 minutes ago
Around midnight last night, new arrival/militant Todd Bethell was manning the entrance to the Refuge.
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 38m38 minutes ago
A large number of militants had decided to take up the FBI's kind offer to run away.
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 37m37 minutes ago
However, the group had blocked the road out with a truck and no one could find the keys to move it out of the way. Hilarity ensued.
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 33m33 minutes ago
A guy named Dillon wandered into the Refuge."I've been coming around" was enough to get him though this highly protected perimeter.
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 28m28 minutes ago
Keys were found. Truck was moved. Blaine Cooper & 2 others left for Idaho at that point, while militants that performed a "perimeter check"
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 27m27 minutes ago
Bethell expressed concern about letting everyone in because he was new, and didn't know who anyone was.
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 30m30 minutes ago
A Vietnam vet guy with long hair, beard, big voice, and bigger ego arrived with a truck filled with guns and powder. <-- Navy Seal
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 28m28 minutes ago
When asked how he got through the FBI road closure, he he scoffed and reminded Bethell that he was a Navy Seal. Bethell expressed doubt.
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 27m27 minutes ago
Doubt was no barrier to this heavily guarded fortress so the Navy Seal and his truck moved into the Refuge.
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 21m21 minutes ago
The Navy Seal promised to return to save the day with 13 fellow Seals (a pod? a herd?)
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 19m19 minutes ago
The Navy Seal's truck, it turned out, carried wood, not guns/powder but the militants remain steadfast in their belief that help is imminent
JJ MacNab ?@jjmacnab 17m17 minutes ago
I didn't didn't live tweet this last night in case if was an FBI ruse. Feds love ruses.
The end.

There's a guy who has a blog devoted to nothing but outing fake SEALs. Seems like every third loudmouth is a "former SEAL".
I knew a couple of actual former combat special forces guys, and both were very low key. I worked with one of them for years before I found out, and he wasn't the one who told me. He'd reenlisted in Vietnam-- done multiple tours there. Never brought it up.
