All this talk of "troops firing on Americans". LOL.

You all are picturing troops showing up at the local park on a Sundy afternoon, shootin up the church watermelon and quilting social.

Instead, picture hundreds of desperate people (Americans) clamoring for food or supplies for their family, armed to the teeth most likely, fighting over scraps and supplies, running the streets in gangs, in full blown survival mode. In a SHTF scenario, more than a couple people here may well go into panic mode and do despicable things in an effort to claim theirs.

What would troops do if faced with burning cars, molotov cocktails, armed Americans running the streets in big groups?

When asking this question, do you picture troops would just be randomly walking around Mayberry USA shooting passerby's as they were walking their dog or shopping for shoes?

We know this? Not everyone gains their info from Info Wars.

You state that you served in the U.S. military. Would you have fired on U.S. citizens, did you commit war crimes or other atrocities? If not why do you assume others to be lesser persons than yourself?

They won't fire on those they have total control of.

Thus the incentive..

By the time such an order would come, the waters would be muddied to the point that most of the military would follow right along.

Joe Bob thinks that Americans are no different than Nazis. His view reflects his and fellow thinkers morality not that of other Americans including our military.

I'm gonna guess that 99% posting on this thread would fire on American citizens.

Because I know people and I, unlike you, know that people gain no automatic and special virtue by putting on a uniform.

You've obviously lived in a very protective, academic type world. The real world ain't so nice and clean nor is it moral in any sense of the word. An adult,,,you ain't. But you apparently have your "own room".

I was aware of the difference between right and wrong prior to putting on a uniform. YMMV.

You seem to be being ignored by the rest o' the pack but I think you're probably correct here. Things have to get a lot worse before that happens ... but they could.

Removing the true warriors and replacing them with "political yes men" is the first step in insuring allegiance to the Homo-in-chief.
