Look. Have you seen those video’s posted of attack helicoters hosing down Iraqi insurgents with 30mm M230’s. Those guys getting hosed are YOU! Thermal imaging systems, 70mm Hydra rockets with flechette warhead, the whole nine yards. Bradleys, Abrams, and Strykers will be deployed against anyone who threatens them. The absolute firepower is enormous. It ain’t gonna be like the revolutionary war. Think the long war in Afghanistan against the Russians.

Mark my words, the first time active duty military assets like an Apache are used against citizens there will be more blowback than the feds know what to do with.

What you say is true... but the Military will not turn on their own countrymen so easily and if they do... there will be no Nation left for anyone to lead... if we fall... civilization around the world will fall... it will be the Mad Max syndrome.

I have a friend who is in some placement of merit in our Military... he tells me that the majority of them will always stand with the Constitution. I think we may be facing a split and two nations evolving.

Regardless... I would rather be dead than red. Yes, I have faced death... JESUS tells me there are worse things.

I don't believe that American soldiers will obey orders to fire on Americans, if it comes to insurrection.

What I believe, is that before it comes to that, there will be wholesale mutiny in the ranks.

Don't forget that these people are our brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins, fathers, and friends. They will not obey such an order.
