Take this for what ever you feel it's worth. In the course of my job, I interact with military personnel on a daily basis; specifically NG personnel. Speaking with the old timers the question was raised , "Would the troops fire on fellow citizens?" The answer was basically, depending on the leaders they had, "Yes". Consensus was that young soldiers coming out of boot camp today are much more apt to follow illegal orders than in the past. Many wouldn't even realize they had done it, until after the fact. It's due to societal and indoctrination changes. There are died in the wool liberals at every level of the military, and it would only take one, or two in a key time and place to create a massacre.
I am not disparaging the military. There are many more patriots in the military, than not. I wouldn't be doing my job, if that wasn't the case. I'm just pointing out that the threat is there and it is real.
So at least half of them are __ssies. Yup. We just have to shoot better.

your response made me very sad. I guess the media, my family and 99% of the world would say that you lie.
ie: you tell the Truth.
