The attitude of “why bother since they’ll call out the marines”. Whether they would call them out and whether or not they would decide to fire upon “us” is beside the point, IMO.
My attitude is take a stand, regardless of the consequences, and if I lose my life doing so, so be it.
The only problem is, it’s not going to happen as we have become too comfortable, fat and apathetic to “do the right thing”, and I believe our forefathers both did the right thing when necessary and hoped their offspring would follow their examples.
Unfortunately, we didn’t live up to their expectations.
Of course that's not exactly what I said.
I do think you’re right that it’s not going to happen (a confrontation between citizens and our Military).
