I do not believe that the Army would follow what orders he gives. You are not required to follow an order that you know is unlawfull.

This frightens me people. The framers of this country set it up to be taken down if necessary. Now we have a monarchy on our hands.

My brother is retired Sgt. Major U.S. army and he said he does not believe the army would not fire on the American people under any circumstances.

Wasn't he supposed to form a National Police Force??

Secondly he's the commander in chief and the military is supposed to obey his commands ... but then .....

Your Right. That’s why Opie wants his 250,000 man political army. Imagine Acorn with Federal Badges and Big Guns.

The request titled “84–RIOT EQUIPMENT” outlines the need for hard polyethylene Shin and Chest Guards, shock absorbing Forearm Protectors, Interior leg brace supports as well as knee and ankle protectors

At least it is defensive in nature.

I think most of the military sees hussein for what he really is.

In the 1950s American paratroopers would just use the bayonet when managing American citizens.

Husseins problem is that a number—perhaps a large number—of current military personnel would refuse to fire on American citizens fighting against a Marxist takeover of the nation. This is the reason Hussein has called for illegals to join the US military. They are to become his own personal store of mercenaries.

No need to suspend elections,

ACORN and the census manipulation will do the trick,

and elections will be a sham from 2010 on.

Did you forget New Orleans? The military went house to house to collect guns. The military is designed to follow orders and follow them they will. Some may not, but the majority will. This is the strength of the military. This strength could be used against the citizens.

The question I have is........the military cannot be used against civil disturbance. Right? Is this not in our Constitution?
