but I am having a hard time getting my mind around the idea our NG or any military component would turn on their communities.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Waco? Ruby Ridge? Elian Gonzales? Do any of these help you wrap you mind around it?

After Elian Gonzales the INS swat team held a picnic to celebrate.

“Think it couldn’t happen...”

Thanks for the links. You raise an excellent point, which didn’t occur to me when I was replying. The idea of this happening under the umbrella of Universal Citizen Service is very plausible - and frightening. Thanks for the heads up.-—JM

“Waco? Ruby Ridge?...”

I was under the impression that no military was involved in these incidents, only the ATF, FBI, and other governmental law enforcement agencies. You make an excellent point, and I don’t disagree. In my reply, however I was only referring to our traditional military. There are other agencies who look and act very much like military components. In reality, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the ATF or the Army. The only thing that matters is the M-16 shoved in your face.-—JM
