"And enough troops who would obey “Fire on Citizens Order.”"

As an American, I respect the fact that everyone has their opinion. I really, really do.

But as a former Marine I am getting very sick and tired of hearing this bullshit. There is no way in hell a majority of the U.S. armed forces would blindly obey an unlawful order to either disarm, intern, or shoot American citizens. It is a patently false claim with absolutely no factual evidence supporting it, other than a fevered, paranoid, conspiratorially-addled mind.

To utter such idiotic drivel is to presume that every single man and woman who volunteered to serve in our military are all heartless, uncaring, unlawful, unemotional, unpatriotic and morally or spiritually apathetic robots. Blanket statements like this are a direct insult to each and every one of them presently serving or who have served at some point in their lives during the past 200+ years.

Take your anti-military crap, shove it up your ass sideways, and then crawl back under your rock. Once under there, start pounding sand.

Are you finished with your bullshit rant? Because if you are, I might clarify that I never said “most.” But since your head is so far up your ass (sideways), you are too irrational to read. So I will refrain from bothering.

Hoorah, lil’ dickhead.

Well said, and I am very grateful for your service to our country. Thank you.

I would like to believe that all the men and women in our armed forces have the ability to discern which commands to obey vs. which not to obey. However, I think this is expecting too much of soldiers who are trained to trust their commander. It’s a “rare” soldier who is willing to suffer court martial for disobeying a direct order. What will soldiers do when they are convinced by their commander that what they’re doing is the right thing to do? Will they fire on citizens who they’ve been told are subversive and/or dangerous? Will they be able to discern good citizens from the so-called dangerous? How will they do this? Would U.S. soldiers, presumably National Guard, fire on U.S. civilians? A look back at the civil unrest of the 60’s will give us a clue to the answer.
