On another note; I wouldn't count on lots of rational consideration or compassion from anyone facing me with a weapon in his or her hands and orders to make sure I behave myself.
The great consideration is that any potential confrontation will likely be between the common folks and either reservists or the NG, both of which are likely to be innured to combat while trying to remain sane while existing in-between those common folk and the standing military. In that instance you have to weigh "citizen soldier" against "guy with a weapon and orders from recognized authority".
Your opinions will not determine the other guy's actions.
