Sorry not going to believe it, and why are you? Do you really think OUR soldiers would willingly shoot us? No, rebellion would surely be the only outcome. Would you shoot your aunt or neighbor because the GOVERNMENT told you to? Court Martial or not, Nobody will do this.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, Chris.

I can’t see our soldiers marching on their parents, wives, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents and the friends around town. No, plus even if some were ordered, and some beagn shooting, there are more vets and others, that would pummel any insurrection. Podesta is a lame ### and he and Soros can take a leap. Where’s Joe McCarthy? They’re OUT IN THE OPEN now, no more cold war.

Your post makes me now believe in reincarnation!
I did not believe in it the last two times I was here on Earth.

AS long as no military person was ordered to do an overtly illegal action the order would be “lawful” - if you accept the arguments set forth by the military legal “experts”.

So a military person guarding a store, for instance, would not be unlawful on its face - even if it was to hoard food supplies for thugs and keep civilians from being able to buy food. A soldier could follow particular “rules of engagement” for that assignment so that if a civilian rushed them to get into the blocked store, the soldier could fire on them. Maybe. I really don’t know, but this is the kind of scenario that I could see being played out, based on the kinds of arguments I hear made in the Lakin case.

I hear them saying that soldiers can’t try to evaluate the lawfulness of the big scheme, the overarching goal (such as “progress”). They can only go by whether their particular action is illegal on its face. Every bigger action or goal is the sum of many small actions - none of which has to be illegal on its face in order to implement the bigger, unlawful scheme. That is how people like Podesta can “nickel and dime” a noble corp into watching silently while he rapes the Constitution and the nation.

How are our guys being prepared to fight against such a scenario?

I don’t believe that, either. But I can SURE visualize those guys with the blue helmets from the building in NY [The UN] being more than happy to ‘do the jobs Americans won’t do’.

Wow. Unbelievable. Two more years and out they go. That is unless the “powers of the President” can be used to cancel elections and/or ignore their results.

Here we are getting all upset about body scanners and pat downs....

I posted the other day I was getting a sense this TSA thing could just be a distraction.

Nothing seems to be out of the realm of possibilities with thess commies in charge.

If he uses the military against Americans, he is a fool with a very short life expectancy.

You can get one of these AK74 with three magazines for less than $400 and 2160 rds of 5.45X39 ammo for it for less than $300.

The EO can also be undone by the Senate.

The joint chiefs are political hacks who will bend over and kiss islamabama’s ring anytime he orders them to do so.

I’m afraid that if he called out the troops and ordered martial law at least 42% of the people would say it’s okay. And would even volunteer to help.

I was shocked we got through the November elections this year.
