The article makes some excellent points, and if you start adding everything up it is very disturbing. I realize I am only seeing this from a small town in Arkansas - but I am having a hard time getting my mind around the idea our NG or any military component would turn on their communities. I am sure we have individuals who would, but of the members of the Armed Services that I know, I can’t see them doing this. I think we have honorable people in our military for the most part - and I can’t imagine this would get very far without open rebellion in the ranks. Am I missing something?-—JM

Why do you think Obama wants a UNIVERSAL CITIZEN SERVICE?
It's a way around

"federal military forces may not give law enforcement assistance to civil authorities without running afoul of The Posse Comitatus Act. However, Constitutional and statutory exceptions to this prohibition do exist."

UNIVERSAL CITIZEN SERVICE wouldn't fall under those laws, hence they could round up and kill United States Citizens.

Think it couldn't happen?

Think again!

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