“United”
Exactly. Clearly half this nation are liberals and at least half of the so-called conservatives would do as their “authorities” ask. Toss in a military beholden to liberals ways of homos and they believe they have the upper hand.

That’s Kent state and not a good example of troops firing on civilians. Those National Guard troops were provoked and were in fear for their lives.

Do you think it will start with our best trained and combat hardened troops?

I do have some brass and lead. I dont expect they will want that.They do want it and will take it but not in the way you'd give it.

And much of the civilian population is scared of guns. I’ve read other sites where they’ve said they’d rather die than have anything to do with them even in a hit the fan situation.

That's why it's better left unsaid, isn't it.

There are no ghettos in major TX cities?There are true ghettos and the ghetto mentality in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, El Paso, Austin, McAllen, Brownsville, Galveston, Killeen and you'd find many anywhere east of I35. There was the "white flight" out of Dallas in the '70s. There are those generation after generation welfare recipients who haven't been off Galveston Island their entire lives.

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." is a quote by Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Of course it was originally stated in Japanese, this is the English translation.

Again NOT COMBAT EXPERIENCED MILITARY. Waco and Ruby Ridge were perpetrated by civilian government uniformed thugs. Think TSA, DHS, FBI, etc. types. Little training for crisis and lots of hormones and bravado. Youd never see this from a properly trained military special ops team trained for intense crisis. you sure about no Army personnel? I mean, not that snipers, spotters, choppers, armor etc.. are considered Military. I just thought they were part of the Army.... on loan. You know, TDY Of course I believe the Clintons and the Justice Dept. that no army personnel was involved, cause then that would mean civilians were killed by US soldiers on American soil.

Well, if we all suck so bad, why dont you join up and show us how its done? I did about 23 years ago. My MOS was on the deck with a weapon in the boonies. I got to play in 29 palms and the fun streets of Carlsbad, even played in the beautiful wetlands off Sneads Ferry and Chad"licks" Bay. Walked along the quiet streets of Parris......... Island and even went on romantic cruises to Indonesia, Nicaraugua, Lebanon.
If I was told to fire on American citizens that were threatening me and my brothers by my CO I'd assess the threat and lay down coordinated fields of fire with flanking maneurvuers until the threat was destroyed, objective taken and perimeter secure.
As for "how it's done"... just put your feet on the yellow footprints in the street and enjoy the ride brother.

US troops would most likely not be hampered by the same ROE as they operate under in Afghanistan in such a US scenario.
