Already happened. Called Kent State.
And troops attacked WWI Bonus Army veterans when ordered to do so. Too many in here are under the illusion that our military would disobey orders to fire on US civilians.
The bonus army incident was at an entirely different time in history. The troops were not as well trained as even my generation was in the late 60s and early 70s in the laws of warfare and what was or was not a lawful order. There were other factors that had a bearing on which of the troops reacted or did not to dugout Doug’s orders. I was a Marine when Kent State ocurred and we were all reminded by our NCOs and officers that the poorly trained guardsmen (and yes, they were poorly trained at that time) Did not react properly and in fact did panic. Also consider that there is much evidence that there was a staged “shot” with the intent by non-student organizers to bring about a deadly reaction. Kent was not a “spontaneous” event any more than Bengazi was.
Troops today are much more aware of their responsibilities and restrictions are under the Constitution and of what is or is not a lawful order. They are not draftees, they have volunteered to serve, even during a time of conflict that could put their lives in danger. Many are the sons and yes daughters of many on this forum. They serve the nation and the Constitution and not a general, a colonel or der Fuehrer.
