“The troops will fire upon citizens just as police have attacked those who have peacefully protested.”
For now, most troops would not fire on Americans. I won’t speak for a few years from now when the current ranks of NCO’s are replaced by gay friendly (and left friendly) NCO’s.
But should such a thing come to pass that the military attacks an American city the same way they did in Iraq then we’ll make for danged sure that those troops and their officers long for days when all they had to worry about was jihadis and IEDs.
Obama and his minions should heed the words of Admiral Yamamoto should they attack America: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
Military surveys show that about 10% of the troops would follow orders to fire on, round up etc US citizens. The other 90% would stand down. So figure we have about 30,000 troops in the US right now. 3,000 US troops vs. 90 million gun owners. I’m liking those odds.
More likely if Barry gets a wild hare and decides to declare martial law etc. He is going to be sending Federal agents to do his dirty work. That along with the state and local cops he has managed to federalize. Thats what all these fusion centers aroung the country are all about. Federal agents in the South are going to last about 72 hours tops and the local boys will stand down pretty quick when they see which way the wind is blowing.
The idea of the govt trying to impose tyranny on US citizens is frightening but the reality of actually doing it is a lot more complicated. 150,000 US troops cannot conquer a few thousand 7th century primitives in Afghanistan. How are they going to fare agains’t a ticked off, sophisticated, incredibly well armed citizenry with their backs agains’t a wall.
This new legislation IMO is intended so that the govt can grab people off the street covertly with little fanfare and basically make them disappear just like in Russia. They will start trying to round up the “dissidents” in an effort to keep the rebellion from spreading to outright revolt. The MSM will keep their mouth shut and you will never hear about most of it. What I just described above is the govt’s worst nightmare. 90 million gun owners locked and loaded.
