In a story May 17 about Russian soldiers training at Fort Carson, Colo., The Associated Press, relying on information from a U.S. Army spokesman, erroneously reported that it was believed to be the first time Russian soldiers had trained on U.S. soil. Russian troops trained at Fort Riley, Kansas, in 1995.

Fort Riley eh?

During World War I, the fort was home to 50,000 soldiers, and it is sometimes identified as ground zero for the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which its soldiers were said to have spread all over the world.

Camp Funston is located on Fort Riley, and is located southwest of Manhattan, Kansas. In March 1918, the first recorded cases of what came to be the worldwide influenza epidemic, also known as "Spanish Flu", were reported at Camp Funston.

“Conspiracy theorists are alive and well,” he said.

Some people who’ve called Osterholzer have said President Obama is a communist, or that the Russians plan to kidnap Americans and take them back to Russia, or that the training is a step toward universal world government.

“It’s been an interesting two weeks at the public affairs office,” he said.

It's rather interesting that Manhattan, KS was the site selected to be the new "Plum Island."

" In January 2009, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security chose the city of Manhattan, Kansas, as the site for NBAF, and decided to move the animal disease center there as well.[5][6] However, the decline in real estate values stemming from the subprime mortgage crisis and late-2000s recession caused the sale of the island to become no longer viable. Because the proceeds from selling the island were needed to construct the new facility in Kansas, the project was effectively cancelled for the short term when the 2013 federal budget request contained no funding for the new facility.[7]"
