Paranoia came up again recently. I talked about this some a long time back. Also again it is worth noting that every large, somewhat empty building with a fence around it is not in fact a FEMA concentration camp. For heavens sake Glenn Beck debunked this years ago. The more recent discussion has been about military vehicles moving around on highways or trains.
Look folks, there are no special secret hidden roads, train tracks, rail yards, ports and the like for the military. If a bunch of vehicles need to go someplace for whatever reasons the reasonable options are usually to drive our vehicles or put them on flat bed trucks/ trains. We travel in convoys so folks don't get lost and so there is support if a vehicle has problems. Also these sort of things tend to deal with fairly large groups of dozens of vehicles anyway. Convoys will pull over at a rest stop to take a break or on the side of the road for a quick map check/ bathroom break/ whatever.
These sort of normal movements do not mean that the military is conducting recon operations to take over your neighborhood or whatever. Losen up the tin foil hat a little bit. I will let you in on a super special secret. Our Army is about as subtle as a sledge hammer between the eyes. Think shock and awe, or Desert Storm or for that matter the (Re) Invasion of Iraq. If the Army wanted you a few armored vehicles (or helo's) would show up outside of your house at 3am and a dozen guys would storm the place to grab you. If they wanted to control your town dozens of vehicles and hundreds of armed men would show up and do just that.
Basically my point is that if you see some vehicles driving around or some soldiers in line at a store or doing basically anything except A) kicking in your door at 3AM or B) setting up traffic control points to shut an area down they are just going from one place to another for some boring reason and there is not a need to lose any sleep over it.
If I am missing something please tell me.

Regarding military convoys rolling down the highways; that was actually the primary purpose of establishing the interstate system. Ike pushed it during his presidency because his experience in Europe during the war showed the importance of rapid movement of troops and material
I agree somewhat with your assesment, and I dont wear a tin foil hat.
On the other hand, I was in the military myself and I know that the rank and file dont know what is going on until it actually happens.
