the Guard acting in the capacity of crowd or riot control is distinct from the citizenry in its duty, which it showed graphically against the citizenry at Kent State...I’m not saying that they are going to be mobilized, or that they will act with violence against citizens; you’re probably right, they would refuse an order to fire upon them...
