“But they will not shrink from their duty to protect the US.”

They have for decades.

True.

What if they figure they will be treated the same.

That’s why allowing sanctuary cities and openly defiant Dems who tell people to resist ICE was a bad idea as an example for impressionable lawbreakers. It’s why we used to have laws until around 1965 or so.

Now it’s the Wild West. Now we endure Pelosi telling people how to avoid following the laws she swore to uphold.

That’s the same story I was told. I don’t mean to say they shoot random people who got lost but purposeful trespassers do get shot.

Did he look like Andy Devine, Dom DeLuise or Slim Pickens?

Patton said: “No. Leave him alone. He’s the one man I’ve seen this entire morning at this base who has a good idea of what he wants to do and is busy doing it.

Between that and the coup, where is the rule of law and who does it apply to???

Maybe all the alien hunters better wear antifa outfits or democrat jerseys and fly Mexican flags. It will help if they’re “POC” too. Could dress in drag also.

Eh, I agree they aren’t going to “machine gun a flash mob”, but for different reasons.

Some people are unaware of technological advances in the past ten years for controlling mobs/crowds. Also, some people people have a difficult time separating the fact that deadly force can be used from what is most likely given the amount of advanced notice that exists here, the distances involved, and that new tech.

Yes, if anyone was actually going to get close to anything sensitive, deadly force would be used. No one doubts that. But that’s not going to happen because you can literally stop a small-to-medium sized mob of fools (and at worst, that’s all it would be; this is an Internet joke, remember) these days without shooting a single one.

let me see if I understand your point. people trying to sneak in illegally to live here are “foreign enemies” and subject to being killed by there US military and i assume border patrol? That makes the punishment for illegal immigration death.

Hope not. With this much notice they might be prepared to detain a crowd.

Yeah shoot em all and sort them out later. Maybe the aliens will abduct them in groups so wed don’t have to kill them.

Exactly right. No one’s going to try storming the base, anyways, but even if they did, the Air Force isn’t going to kill anyone. Some basic riot dispersion will do it.

We were more interested in eyeballing the top-secret airplane than the snoring moron.

I decided to drive there one day from Reno. Gave up after what seemed like forever. Didn’t look that far on the map.

I was on an eastern Montana Highway years ago and topped a hill looking at what I call an M-100 with a MaDuce or worse
tracking me! They were guarding a missile silo with the
doors open. I gave a friendly wave and moved on!

The military has a job to do; if a citizen is in the way, the military is authorized and should do what is necessary to disable that threat. Their first choice will prob not be killing but that would be justified, esp. at a base as secret as Groom Lake.

Unfortunately you are describing one of the more florid examples of what should be called ‘the Crisis of the Establishment or if you prefer the Elites). This refers to when organizations become so enveloped in their particular operational culture that they cease to be connected with what was their reason to exist. The classic military response that demonstrated this was the Commandant of the Marine Corps attempting to deflect from the President's direction to the armed services to provide service support to DHS on the border by saying it would interfere with the Corps training schedule with Mongolia.
