Lets note a couple of things, then we can debate this if you’d like.
I didn’t say anything about shooting at anyone. Anywhere on this thread.
Second, my time in the service is much of the basis for my comment about the military acting ‘differently’ here, than in Iraq.
Yep, you can take out any single target you want if you are the US military with authorization.
But I wasn’t talking about lil old ME.
I was talking about the difference between a nation in the Middle East with a population of under 30 million total, that had been brutally surpressed for over three decades...in comparision to our nation, with 300 million people, and well over 220 million firearms in their collective possession.
You suggested originally that how we acted in Iraq applies here at home. It simply doesn’t, for a wide variety of reasons.
From the lowest ranked member of our military, to the top of the ranks, there would be CHAOS. Our military isn’t trained to act blindly in relation to our population, unlike what you see in other countries, particularly the Middle East.

History has shown over and over again that the US Military is the MOST humanitarian and magnanimous military EVER, by orders of magnitude. Once they have subdued an enemy, they work their hardest to make them friends, even brethren in arms. We’ve seen that even in Iraq.
However...
If they are sent to help collect your firearms, what are you going to do to resist the ones who don’t refuse the order to do so?
What do you expect them to do to any resistance they meet?
