I wonder if our military would shoot at their own people. Yes, I remember Kent State, but that was young, National Guard guys who were trying to disperse an unruly crowd of students after campus rioting, and began to feel hemmed in and panicked. That event was universally regarded as a tragic, stupid error. I am considering whether our own military would fire on a crowd of gray-haired, old grannies like me plus other inoffensive, middle-class types. In some countries and situations they will, and in other cases, they refuse. I don't know what I believe would happen, but I have been puzzling over it since The One was elected.
I work with military and ex-military every day. There is no way on God’s green earth that they would obey an order to shoot Americans unless they were in fear of their own lives.
