But they weren't. They fired into the crowd indiscriminately.
The National Guard requires its members take an oath saying that they will defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Constitution gives Congress the power to call up the militia to execute the laws of the union and to suppress rebellion. If the National Guardsman isn't willing to do their duty as soldiers under the Constitution then maybe they shouldn't be National Guardsmen?
No true. Go down the thread. There were others who posted about them being fired on. The never fired indescriminatly. That is a shame you think that. Don’t ever say you support the military.
I know what the Guard’s mission and Oath is because I was in after being on active duty.
Exactly the point. If the lethal force against American citizens that are trying to overthrow the Constitution - then the National Guardsmen have a duty to suppress rebellion.
If the order from on high is an illegal order under the Constitution - then they have a duty to disobey that order.
