A Louisiana Sheriff is training up some local angry dads to defend the homeland against homegrown terrorists and to restore order in case of natural disaster.

It is a good bet that Sheriff Larry Deen likes the movie Red Dawn as much as I do.  From the Sheriff Department’s press release:

As evidenced by recent terror threats, it is apparent that homegrown terrorists are in our midst. With the easy accessibility of the internet, it is quite possible that these local and international terrorists can form a national or multiple location attack on our nation at any given moment. And no matter whether we are a direct target or not, fear and panic will still permeate our community. Control will have to be regained to ensure the safety of our residents. That is where Operation Exodus comes into play. It utilizes preventive measures to safeguard Bossier Parish from the fear and outcry that will inevitably transpire.

And in case you were wondering where they got the name Operation Exodus or if there was some crazy Christian angle, it continues:

[The name "Operation Exodus"] was chosen is because of its Biblical relevance. In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were totally on their own, learning to be self-sufficient and handle everything alone, just as the plan provides.

Ah “the plan” . . .   well, I guess hobbies are nice.  At least grandpa is getting some exercise.
