Will the military be turned on US citizens?

There is some confusion regarding a law or EO supposedly passed by Biden that would allow the military to be used against American citizens in defiance of "Posse Comitatus". It was questioned by Joe Rogan on his podcast and led me to do some digging. Here is what I found... It is neither a law NOR an EO. It IS a DoD directive signed and approved by that idiot, Kathleen Hicks, Biden's Deputy Sec Def.

There WAS ANTIFA, and they were organized under the radar. I’m sure they’re already planning.

Anyone ever hear of an “Unlawful Order”?

Against the Constitution to use our military against citizens.

I’m sure there will be some military members that will fire upon citizens because, as a few idiots in uniform once told me: “Well, if it’s an order..”

However, most of the military are southerners, and I doubt they will be anxious to fire upon their own family members.

Remember Waco and the Branch Davidians?

As a lifelong Texan, I would wager that you wouldn't see that happen again in this day and age.

That wasn’t the military...that was the FBI...the same folks that pulled off the “Siege at Mar a Lago”.

Actually, it was the ATF. And, they only pulled it off because they convinced Texas authorities (democrats) it had to happen. That wouldn't happen in this day and time.

Won’t happen.

Everyone take xanax until the election if needed :)

“Lincoln was more willing to shed blood, and so he kept it going till 750,000 people were killed”

*************

Not to mentioned the incredible destruction, those who were maimed and the civilian casualties. Hard to justify that enormous cost in blood and treasure for any reason. JMHO

Sherman talked him in to the March to the sea.

He did have to sneak into DC

“Counter that with the number of those of both our government and military who will be able to read the writing on the wall and protect America.”

*************

The government is vastly populated with Democrats who are ideologically and financially committed to protecting their sinecures and benefits. They are going to side with the hand that feeds them.

Either way, they were federal employees with Hueys, tanks and automatic weapons attacking American citizens.

They are NOT Military. The Constitution forbids a standing army.

Right. Men who had an opportunity to take on weak countries in Central America and Africa and take over decided it would be more fun to tackle the most heavily armed country in the world.

30 years ago I was hired as a historian/research assistance by the US Army Center of Military History. The 3d volume of the Center’s History of Federal Forces and Domestic Disorders 1945-1992, was being edited for publication. My job was to verify all of the footnotes in the book with the cited sources, many of them official records from NARA.

The deployment of active Army forces to Little Rock, AR, and “Ole Miss” at Oxford, MS are covered in detail as well as the post Martin Luther King assassination riots.

The Michigan Army National Guard did shoot at several buildings and people with the .50 cal mgs on their APCs and some citizens were killed. After that Gov Romney requested federal forces and a brigade of the 82d Airborne Division was deployed. The commanding general issued orders that his airborne soldiers and all national guard troops would not have ammunition loaded in their rifles, HOWEVER, each soldier would have a M-1 clip with 8 live rounds displayed on the right or left strap of their LBE. It was NOT advertised that the soldier’s weapons were unloaded. What the citizens saw was troops with extra rifle ammunition in clear display. I do not believe that any civilians were shot by the members of the 82d Airborne troops, many of whom had just returned from Vietnam, thus putting the fear of having combat experienced troops on patrol was a key psychological factor.

The book is available for free download/reading at: https://www.history.army.mil/catalog/pubs/30/30-20.html

“more fun to tackle the most heavily armed country in the world.”

What exactly has this heavily armed country done to protect itself from the immivasion and election fraud?? Nothing. I don’t expect much of any response to anything going forward. Lots of guns and ammo and lots of blustering, but zero action to date.

Agree to some degree regarding the government group. I think, however, that at many levels but particularly those in the roughly speaking white collar, middle management levels, as the unbelievable becomes more apparent a significant number will come to their senses. I believe it will be an even greater number with the various intel/law enforcement groups.

Re the military side, we may agree it is likely even more will come to the light when things get obvious. There are far more officers who will honor their oaths than will not and that percentage spikes the farther they are from D.C.

” Yes they would. They would be lied to about the nature of the threat, and the civilians would be presented as dangerous terrorists intent on killing innocent people.

The idea would be made to seem good and reasonable when it was conveyed to the troops, and all other sources of information would be kept from them.

Anyone not following orders would be relieved of duty and prosecuted. After they had done it a few times, it would become routine.”

Absolutely. Yes they will. Most troops are brainwashed wokies and “protecting Democracy”. And the biggest threats to Democracy are the now legally classified as the domestic terrorist Christians, Conservatives, and Home homeschoolers.

They have created the perfect army of braindead zombies who just do when told and have no conscious self thought. The very same zombies can be found working at your local Walmart and McDonalds. They barely even know where they are let alone what they are supposed to do or how to do it...

When antifa tried to attack a community near me, they were beaten and thrown in jail or ran home to their mommies.

The propaganda press won’t show that in the evening news. They don’t want their useful idiots to know what could happen to them.

Here’s a video you’ll never see on the networks.
