One out of ten US marines have been forced to fill in a survey asking if they'd fire on U.S. citizens. It's coming. Lay in the spam, man.

I live in the mountains where wild game is plentiful. Miore deer than people. And plenty of ammo. This soldier is prepared.

I took that very poll in 1978

I wonder if it is a hoax being perpetrated, but the story we had then was it was from a Navy officer who was a friend of one of our officers

If I remember correctly, I read about that way back in the days when we could post sound files here LOL. Perhaps around '96 or a bit later in '97 at the latest. It may have been around sooner, but I think I picked up on it here around that time. Maybe it's in the musty archives Jim. As I remember it there was a lot of material posted about that.

I think that Joseph Farah or NewsMax (before it was NewsMax -- I forget the fellow's name that's the honcho over there -- it's late and I'm lazy) also picked up on it as I seem to remember one of them, or both, on Putnam's or Briem's program talking about it.

Wasn't it a classified survey given to the Marines at Twenty-Nine Palms posing a hypothetical question of if, when the citizens were ordered to surrender their arms and they didn't or they were verging on "rebellion", would the service man fire upon the citizens? (OK poor grammar -- sorry but I think you get the drift). Dornan apparently asked either the Marines and/or Navy about the survey and the results and was told they were "classified."

That is if my memory serves me correctly.

Oh I forgot to mention -- I think the survey that Dornan was referring to was given in 1994. A previous poster (now that I'm catching up in reading) mentioned an earlier survey, but the one Dornan was briging to light was in 1994 ... I'm almost certain of it.
