What the generals need to worry about is if the troops will fire upon them if they are foolish enough to give those orders.

I live in the Fort Hood area of Texas and have many friends that are retired and active military. Some are noncoms and some are commissioned officers up to the rank of colonel. I have asked them if they will follow orders to fire on American Citizens. They all said, "no!"

I then asked what would happen. The answer was, somen will simply refuse, some would desert. More importantly, a colonel with many years of combat experience said the noncoms and enlisted would follow an officer they trust in fighting such illegal orders.

You can purge the Army at the top but you can not purge the Army of all its patriots. The Army were the "good guys" in the past and the present and will be the good guys in the future.

I invite posts on this subject from those recently in the services or those still in the service. That will tell us more than all our speculation. I trust the Army.

Before any such order is given, he will ensure that the officers will be the kind of people who will carry them out. If you start hearing of conservative officers being replaced with blacks, gays, and other dem voting groups, that’s a sign that shtf is imminent.

So, the Army, led by good guys like Patton, Eisenhower and MacArthur DIDN’T fire on or burn out the “Bonus Army” when it was sitting in DC?
