I suspect the majority of these "troops" would desert the ranks if they were told to open fire on American civilians.
...And the hard-core "troops" who shoot US civilians will eventually be destroyed by the justifiably angry civilian population.
When the shooting does finally begin? It will be Americans versus obamanistas, just as it has always been in the debates at the local water cooler.
American military personnel will not shoot fellow Conservatives, but the obamanistas probably will.
However, the obamanistas will meet the same fate as Napoleon's troops did when they shot the civilians in Spain.
The Conservatives will defeat the obamanistas if it does come down to a Nationwide shoot-out.

friend of ours is fedleo. He once said he’d never enforce illegal orders upon US citizens. My reply was that the orders would come under dire circumstances. What if the economy collapsed and there were no jobs? Either obey orders or you are fired and maybe prosecuted. How many, with good values now, would sell out, knowing they need to feed and house and clothe their family? His gaze turned away and he essentially had no reply. That is what will happen to many LEO minds should things go very badly. Self-preservation kicks in.
Do the Bonus Army and Waco fiascos ring a bell?
They plan on bringing in foreign troops who have been trained to take over US cities.
