“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.”

Please clarify your statement. It sounds like your brother believes the Army would fire on the American people.

I disagree. The long history of this country in which the military has ALWAYS performed its duties in a patriotic, honoring, respectful way, would constitute a complete repudiation of its training & drillingk, to ignore orders issued from above. I think that any soldiers or officers would immediately be arrested and charged with mutiny and that would squelch any further military dissent. At a minimum the black soldiers who also support Oboombamessiah would likely carry out his orders and fire on white civilians especially.

Would or would not?

My sources tell me the only way they are permitted to fire on US citizens would be IF they were firing at them, or there was an imminent threat on their life...hurling bricks, molotov cocktails etc.

To echo other posts on this thread — the military will follow orders, up to and including the use of deadly force if threatened in kind.

Which is why the One would bring in foreign troops via his buds at the UN.

That how the Ruskies dealt with the Hungarian and Czech uprisings.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that it will make them more easily identifiable targets.

How about stating what he believes without the double negative.

While I don’t believe that the military would fire on the American people either keep in mind that it only takes one political hack general to at least create an incident. Remember Dugout Doug MacArthur putting down the Bonus Army.

Who says it’s going to be the U.S. Army we know and love. Obama has already told us he intended to raise his own home based security force.

I think they will for two reasons... soldiers who disobey orders can be shot themselves. And the army did it 150 years ago during the Civil War.

On the other hand... the Generals could rebel against the elected government like Spain did during the Spanish Civil War... people were definitely shot there.

Double negative there. Which likelihood did your brother indicate?

At 4:45 p.m., commanded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the 12th Infantry Regiment, Fort Howard, Maryland, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, supported by six battle tanks commanded by Maj. George S. Patton, Fort Myer, Virginia, formed in Pennsylvania Avenue while thousands of Civil Service employees left work to line the street and watch the U.S. Army attack its own veterans. The Bonus Marchers, believing the display was in their honour, cheered the troops until Maj. Patton charged the cavalry against them — an action which prompted the Civil Service employee spectators to yell, "Shame! Shame!"

Too many of you are of the belief this riot gear equipment will be worn by American troops. We already have foreign troops illegally training in our country right along side the NJTF.

Wake up people! This is not your daddy's country any more. Obama is a tyrant pure and simple and with the last two generations of American children having been effectively dumbed down by our public school system most do not have the critical thinking skills to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the bottom. Why would any of you honestly think they would have a clue what the Constitution says? I personally know many military personnel that honestly think that they are required by law to protect and defend the President of the United States NOT the US Constitution.

Seriously folks.... How many people still know what the word "is" means?

Repent and look up for your redemption draweth nigh.
