Dont be taken in by wtc911. He/she/metro-sexual/it is a DU interloper, elitist snob, and a liar. A name like that and profile like that speak for itself. He/she/it must think Freepers are idiots.

The Sovereign State of Mississippi will be forever grateful of having been so honored. (And that it, being more a New Orleans kinda character, didn't stop!)

Did you know there was a survey conducted in the early 90's, on military personnel, that asked the question
"Would you fire on US citizens who refused to surrender their weapons by government decree?"
It was called the Combat Arms Survey, and was administered primarily to Marines.

I have come to believe almost anything is possible around here, even blatant idiocy.
Oh well, their loss, not ours.
God Bless You, P and S.
We've got to get together at Hal's new place.
It ain't the Hilton, but it's full of soldiers and it has more class than 6 Hilton's.
Have you checked out Hal's new foundation?

Couldn't resist one more slap at New Orleans could ya?
To: concretebob
Didn't see Hal's new deal, I'm not surprised. We've been active locally with our clothing drive for Fort Drum (10th Mtn.) but still raise a bit for the Pentagon Federal Fund which is one of Hal's supporting groups.
I know you're still getting it done...has anyone floated your name for 'Freeper of the year" yet? Out-foxing Code Pink was the high-point for 2006.

Don't stop there! What were the results? OK, I'm going to google it.

The Combat Arms Survey: Question 46
300 Marines were asked to respond to this statement:
I would fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the U.S. government.
The stated scenario 46:
The U.S. government declares a ban on the possession, sale, transportation, and transfer of all non-sporting firearms. A thirty (30) day amnesty period is permitted for these firearms to be turned over to the local authorities. At the end of this p eriod, a number of citizen groups refuse to turn over their firearms.
The statement that the U.S. Marines were asked to respond to:
I would fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the U.S. government.
Of the 300 U.S. Marines asked this question, 264, or 88% of them responded.
Strongly disagree:
127 = 42.33%
Disagree
58 = 19.33%
Agree 56 = 18.67%
Strongly agree 23 = 07.67%
No opinion 36 = 12.00%
Total: 300 = 100.00%
The survey results indicated that 61.66% (42.33 + 19.33) said they would refuse to fire on U.S. citizens, whereas 26.34% (18.67 + 7.67) indicated they would fire.
According to Lt. Cdr. Guy Cunningham, the author of the thesis and designer of the survey qu estions; "This particular question, unlike the others, elicited from 15.97 percent of the respondents with an opinion, either heavier pen or pencil remarks on their response or written comments in the margin space."
Is there a problem here?
What troubles Lt. Cdr. Cunningham and other opponents of using U.S. military forces for U.N. peacekeeping and non-traditional missions within United States territories is the 26.34% indicating they would fire.
In another scenario, such a significant minority could be separated from those unwilling to shoot their fellow citizens, and easily organized into a unit that would obey such orders.

That's just one reason why I call you a liar. There are other reasons, but that will do for now. You still haven't explained what these other reasons are, explain yourself immediately, followed by an apology.
