There have been several posts on different threads where this topic has been discussed. Some FReepers say our U.S. military would not use armed force against citizens if order to do so; others say they would, going as far as saying that "the military will fight for whoever pays them to."
I thought why not just ask our FReepers who are currently on active duty what they think.
So, active duty military FReepers, here are the questions:
1. Would you obey an order from the current president to disarm U.S. citizens and force them into internment camps?
2. Do you believe that those in your chain of command would carry out such an order?
3. What do you believe is the percentage of personnel in your command that would refuse the order?
4. What do you believe is the percentage of personnel in the entire U.S. miltary that would refuse the order?
What worries me is Obama’s Civilian Army.
Using street thugs who have been given a government issued weapon and a government issued license to use it on people...
Yes, I can see THAT “branch” using it.
Went to the VA today with my dad. What is ironic is the number of veterans who are really really weary of Obama. And not just the white ones. This is Atlanta, Decatur no less, so it is probably 80/20 black to white ratio. Many were grumbling at Obama (they had TV’s in all the waiting rooms and they were on CNN and it was “Stimulus this, Eric Holder black people that”. One older black man said “I don’t what makes that man think you can run Chicago style all over America. I just ain’t gonna work”. Another very elderly lady said “I paid my mortgage all them years, didn’t nobody bail me out. And I bet their house is nicer than mine.” I just nodded my head in agreement.
So I wouldn’t assume it is all black support for Obama. Not that it should matter, but it kind of irritated me Eric Holder coming out talking about racial relations. There was every race, religion, age in that VA Medical Center today. Even several turban headed people, and no one was any different than any other day.
As a 36 year, I am perplexed by the desire to keep “racial relations” up. If they’d quit preaching on how “bad” it is, it wouldn’t even be a blip on someone’s radar.
Ok, I’ll step down off my soapbox now. Just wanted to share what my day was like in a huge central location with Veterans from all wars. I thanked about a million of them it seemed.
Better dead than red. (Words to live by....again).
Funny, but I never really thought we would be having these conversations seriouisly. And I certainly never thought that things could change for the worse just that fast in this country.
At that time, I guess the decision is are our guns loaded or buried in the back yard.
Half of the country would accept it, and demand full compliance. Half would say, “hell no.” That's the plot of my third book.
Give the military a “new constitution” to swear to uphold, and many will have all the rationalization they need to enforce tyranny. During a depression, it will be hard to turn down one of the only guaranteed paychecks available.
“Sorry honey, the kids don't eat this week, cuz I quit the Army/police dept.”
Millions will accept the "new constitution" to keep their paychecks coming. Under the new constitution, there might be no 2nd amd, for example, so the police and military would be free to confiscate weapons, while “upholding the constitution.”
But at least half of nation will vehemently disagree, and that's when CW2 starts.
post # 65,,,from an e-mail...
Some will choose to shoot it out over the front porch.
Some will hand over a token revolver, then go on the offensive covertly.
I thought about that, but I had already written the rest, so as a result I simply pressed the ‘post’ button.
I don’t think of the panthers as morons so much as a bunch of malicious thugs who have nothing else other than their membership with a bunch of para-military fools to make them worth anything.
If they were a bunch of morons, real morons, they wouldn’t have the network they have or the weaponry. They wouldn’t have their own uniforms or ‘defense action force’ to protect Obama.
Rap dips, I have no idea what to expect from.
I agree with what ya say yet a Con Con still has to be approved by two thirds of congress and then ratified by at least 38 (?) states does it not ?!??!?
I don’t think the numbers are there for em to do it and at their current rate of rat promotional successes I predict that conservatives will get a dead cat bounce in 2010 and Obama will be a house cat with no mice to play with till he’s ousted in 2012. They are their own worst enemies right now. And this is just shy of a complete month of sedition from them......
I told everyone this would happen, but did anyone listen to me? No!
My heart just broke!
American GI’s violating the right of fellow americans is totally unacceptable....
Now I shoot first!
What happened to my country!
If true (while I tend to doubt it, nothing involving this guy is beyond possibility), reason enough all by itself for impeachment and removal. Failing that, then a far more serious response would be warranted for such a blatant breach of his sworn oath of office.
the drones don’t work in crowded urban areas like that. thats fine if your blowing up a mud hut in paki.
Then the cries of the wounded will demoralize the rest of them.
I don’t take ANYTHING off the table at this point,,,
Folks in the NE will suffer the most when the SHTF...
And there you have it. Thanks for pointing it out.
This was written up in GUN WEEK newspaper at the time.
Another tragedy is this guy is possibly the worst thing that ever happened to black people. His slimy slumlord pals got tons of govt money. They pocketed the money and let the people live in hell.
He prolongs welfare, promote illegal aliens, promote fake enviromentalism which is really a suck up pay off to the Saudis to block domestic energy production killing jobs for whites and blacks, tax people living in Chicago 10.5% for sales tax (!!) and have them liv in murder city in Chicago.
The fake kenyan Indonesian Muslim marxist could really care less about black people. I think George Wallace probably had more compassion, empathy and respect toward black people than this evil clown. He just uses people. Demonic prick.
Bingo. The new deployment to Afghnaistan gets 17,000 troops out of the United States. The Kenyan-born marxist is an evil clown.
