Sorry, but I don’t believe this. I want more evidence than simply the word of someone who talked to someone who said it’s happening. What’s to prevent one of the terminated general officers from speaking out to the media? Where’s the evidence?

I can believe the military trains to put down attacks from within the US. They need to be prepared, for example, from coordinated attacks by terror cells that are undoubtedly in the country. That’s not the same thing as putting down a much wider spread civilian insurrection, although the military would be obliged to restore order in that case, too.

However, I refuse to believe the rank and file military would fire, without warning shots, on civilians who are simply deemed to be enemies of the state by virtue of owning and refusing to relinquish guns. That’s an order they would rightly disobey as being against the laws of war.

Please tell me, which media outlet would carry a story like that?

Well do you think Obamas Civilan army would do it one that is just as well funded and trained as our military? This video is from the 2008 campaign.

What do you suppose the government is planning on doing with all the guns and ammo they have been purchasing for the Dept. Of Ed, Social Seciurity department and other agencys.

With the utmost of respect, I think your wrong. Where I work there are several SF Army types who have confirmed this as a true event, the Marines were not the only ones given this "screening"

With the advent of these ass clowns in DC and the sycophantic treasonous military hierarchy, you can bet they are planning something. Whether it is a financial meltdown or some other event, planned or whatever, DHS buying 1.6 billion rounds is cause enough to be concerned...

The mil has the 10% who are dirtbags, (having retired from the mil, and retired from it) I would say that on that account you would be, again wrong.

They would in fact, follow orders to fire on "dissidents" and folks who will not comply with the illegal orders from DC.

"I want more evidence than simply the word of someone who talked to someone who said it’s happening."

Ditto! This is the problem with the internet and it's symptom of how fast rumors can spread. ..."I heard this directly from the neighbor of the cousin of the girl who's brother's ex-girlfriend's great uncle was on the Woodstock Album cover"

You are naive beyond belief. I trained in the Army in the late 60's on riot control. We trained how to move mobs using disciplined formations with fixed bayonets. There were seven levels of escalations before orders could be given to fire upon mobs with bullets.

Bush the first used IIRC about 20,000 to 25,000 regulars to quell riots in Los Angeles. Douglas MacArthur and George Patton used troops to fire upon the veterans in Washington, DC.

you do understand, if he went to the MSM he would be laughed out of the building and labelled a nutcase, then ridiculed relentlessly and i wouldnt put it past the govt to send out a group of highly trained men to “quiet” him with a dirt nap. i would also point out that i can name off the top of my head 5 generals/admirals in the past 6 months that have been “fired” or forced out for one reason or another that hardly adds up. im not going to say this article is true, but i sure as hell wont discount it as this is exactly what i was thinking when all the top brass heads started to roll.
