Militias move forward on Texas border, leader's background emerges


Chris Davis

SAN ANTONIO - Groups describing themselves as militias have set up a training area near San Antonio and say there already are four "operations on the ground" along the US-Mexico border in Texas.

The groups, which supported Cliven Bundy at a standoff at his Nevada ranch earlier this year, posted an update on a website used to organize the efforts Tuesday night that said there are currently three "troops on the ground" on the Arizona border, and "four credible operations on the ground" on the Texas border.

The Texas militia, known as "Operation Secure Our Border," is being led by Chris Davis, a 37-year-old truck driver who was discharged from the Army in 2001 "under other than honorable conditions in lieu of trial by court martial," according to a summary of Davis' military service obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.

The details of Davis' discharge are protected from public view through the Privacy Act of 1974. Davis, originally from Florida, served in the Army from 1996-2001 as a mechanical systems operator-maintainer and was ranked as a private at the time of his discharge.

Their are groups who have been waiting, just waiting for something like this so they can use it to start an uprising.. and that is just the honest to GOD'S truth.

The Bundy ranch was just the tip..they are now official armed, packing and looking for a fight, thanks to states who could care less about their general population.. than hating the Democratic party.

Nothing good is going to come from this..Not a thing.. People are so easily scared of the "other" And the "other" is now children from central America.

They need to exit before the natives like me become restless.
