Yes, there are folks who fear invasion. Yes, some of them live in Texas.

If the same military exercise was being held in New England, you'd have folks in Connecticut stirring up the exact same conspiracy theories.

To say however, that Texans are freaking out over this, is absurd on its face. There are millions of Texans, and such use of a broad brush is immature, and full of projection, even though it comes from a Texan.
