Wouldn't this constitute "finding soldiers willing to follow illegal orders"?

In real life, soldiers have zero choice. (I'd recommend the long version if you really want to learn how this works.)

I called this months ago, but I thought it was going to be Indiana, Wisconsin, or Missouri. I'm not happy that I keep being right about my predictions because if I am right about what comes next then a lot of people are going to die. I'm just curious if it will be the feds or a right wing militia thatwill pull me out of my house in the middle of the night. One means being put into a camp the other means I'll (hopefully) be shot in the head there and then.

I'd guess that the "training center in a Chicago suburb" is the 84th Division Mission Training Complex in Arlington Heights.

I thought it was Great Lakes in North Chicago

Great Lakes is a Naval station.

I know, I just had read a week ago that it was going to be their staging area.

I'd heard Pritzker saying the same, yeah, but then this article specified an Army Reserve training facility, so I went with Arlington Heights. There's something down in Darien, too, could be that.
