A 2010 Pentagon directive on military support to civilian authorities details what critics say is a troubling policy that envisions the Obama administration’s potential use of military force against Americans.

The directive contains noncontroversial provisions on support to civilian fire and emergency services, special events and the domestic use of the Army Corps of Engineers.

Nicolae Ceaușescu tried that tactic in Romania; didn't work out too well for him.

Not the military of a few years ago.

But today’s military.....purged of patriots who swore an oath to defend the constitution........stuffed with homosexuals and feminists......who threaten to fire generals who still admit their Christian faith? Who take marching orders from the department of homeland security?

Yeah. I will happily and accurately compare that military to the SS.

I am saying what the founders thought: we should not want a central government military involved in domestic matters.

The 2nd and 3rd amendments were passed, in part, because of such concerns.

Those concerns should still be part of our thinking, because the dangers of tyranny have not disappeared.

ALL military can be compared to those units. In every army there is a subset of members who will act just as they are told - however distasteful we might think that to be. Some of that group has risen to the highest ranks and have control over enough of the group to affect the behavior of those who do not fit the description of the “subset”.

If it comes down to an order from the president for the army to engage the citizens, it will go out to one of the more indoctrinated groups. Then the rest of the army will have to decide which side they’re on and, unlike when I was in the service, soldiers on base are unarmed until the order is given to unlock the armories. Those members who have already obeyed the illegal directive will already be armed and can decide who else will be permitted to carry arms.

This has already been planned out long ago. That’s why there have been occasions reported of Base Commanders requiring lists of officers and enlisted who own personal weapons. The better to gather them up, my dear.

What did the US military do to the WWI veterans marching in Washington in the 1930’s? Rifles, pistols, gas, tanks. There are enough officers who will obey an illegal order and attack their fellow Americans I am convinced at this point. Fifteen years ago I would have said no way. Not today.

I think use of the US military would be the last resort for the thugs in Washington. First the federal JBT’s would take their shot and ask for help from state and local law enforcement in attacking their own. I don’t think the locals will go for this at all and for the most part the state governments will balk as well. Those state and local law enforcement people know they and their families have to live with the people and their highly pissed off relatives you just slaughtered at el-presidente’s command.

A caveat to my post above: IIRC, the Constitution DOES allow for federal involvement in states....IF THE STATES REQUEST HELP.

Article IV Section 4:
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”

ANYONE who believes Valerie’s ward Obama will HELP the states from invasion only need to look at ARIZONA.

By the time obungo orders our military to assault the citizenry, Christians will be gone in the Rapture, leaving of course those who feel no allegiance to good or God or their remaining fellow Americans. It will be hellish for a while.

You don’t have any contact with actual military folk.
The majority are solid patriots.
