Obama to Top Brass: Will you fire on American Citizens?

Can you imagine any president of our dear country EVER ASKING ANYONE THIS QUESTION?

Are we citizens in deep, deep trouble, or what?

Bill Clinton did it. Maybe a Freeper can chime in with more info. I don't recall the title of the questionnaire but Col. Geoff Metcalf of AM 650 in Sacramento reported it. It was given to Army recruits on several bases around the country that asked if they would fire on US civilian if so ordered. The news of it spread like fire and the Army soon retracted it.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis they were making plans and preparations for relocating millions of people from the cities which would be possible targets.

They were planning on calling up WWII and Korean vets to administer the evacuation of the cities and the relocation camps.

My old man was a WWII vet and had to sign a statement that he would be willing to order firing on US citizens if it became necessary to restore order.

The military will restore order and if restoring order means firing on US citizens they will do it.

[Secret Agent Man]

generals with balls should have dispatched a president who seriously asked them this.
