OK, smarty. Do you recall Capt Ernest Medina and Lt William Calley of Vietnam infamy? I was in the military at the time and I vividly remember the “training” we received after the bad press generated by My Lai - follow orders first and question later. Now, firing on Americans is a different matter, but those students at Kent State might beg to differ.
A student or a non-student shit stirrer at Kent State fired the first shot. It was intended to provoke a violent incident.
What should have been the rules of engagement for the National Guard? Wait until someone takes a bullet before firing?
No no. Not a different matter at all, according to you and other quivering masses of jelly around here. According to you, all it takes to overcome a person's innate sense of loyalty to their kin and countrymen, is a bit of stern brain washing.
And before you even go there, I can predict how the rest of your thought process goes...
Obama gives the order, and American troops immediately seize every firearm in the country, killing or imprisoning anyone who dares to resist, then all the remaining conservatives, patriots, and normal Americans are rounded up and shipped in box cars to the FEMA re-education camps.
I've heard your bleak and demoralizing message a thousand times on this website. Doesn't matter that it's nothing more than a paranoid fantasy. No one stops you doomers from repeating it ad infinitum, and so you continue to smear that crap all over the forum.
Go ahead. Keep pimping for the Emperor. You do know you're doing his bidding, don't you?
I was stationed at Camp Pendleton during the LA riots.
Our batallion had orders and actually staged to deploy there.
Lemme tell you that, not one person’s foremost thoughts were, ‘we’ll be firing on our countrymen’. At least no one voiced it. Some of those people were for lack of a better word, ‘excited’.
