Scoff at your own peril. Keep in mind, the rules of engagement in Iraq were tighter in Iraq than the cops here are constrained by.

Stop trying to sell your paranoid hysterics.

You're delusional if you think the American military is going to execute unrestrained warfare on our own people. Not even Obama has the cojones to issue such orders - and I can guarantee you he'd likely end up in irons if he even tried it.

Sadly, I don’t agree with you.

There will be those willing to turn on their own.

History is important because human nature is constant. Of course american troops have never turned their weapons on american civilians. Except for the whiskey rebelion. And Sherman’s march to the sea. And when guardsmen opened fire on protesters at Kent State (oh wait, those were just smelly hippies) And when the army and special forces participated in the Waco siege. Nope...thinking it could ever happen is just paranoid nuttery.

Besides, it won’t be the troops doing it this time. Why do you think they are mostly deployed to the other side of the planet? No, it will be the homeland security funded and equipped local cops taking orders from the feds.

Most americans are, well...stupid. For f*** sake, they think american idol and “reality teevee” is real. They will cheer as you and yours are disarmed, especially if you resist.

But hey, keep clinging to that belief that the laws of human nature have been repealed. This time is different.

They will do as told. That uniform no longer stands for anything.
