The question is would the National Guard or the US Military follow BHO’s orders against the populace?

Don’t think so.

I was in the military. It is very easy to control the information available to the rank and file. The military is not a democracy.

Picture this:
Your unit is alerted and mobilized. There is a radical, terrorist attack on the nation's capital. You are ordered to put down the threat to your country. Perhaps you have heard some rumors that make you have some questions inside. The order is given by your duly authorized chain of command to put down the threat, and you hesitate to act promptly. Your NCO brings you into the sight picture of his weapon and directs you to follow orders or die a traitor to your country. You only have the information that you have been allowed to have. You have some doubts, but the whole effing chain of command must have checked this out...

Waco, Ruby Ridge, Kent State.

Ready to bet your life on it? Your wife's? Your children's?

The founding fathers were against a standing army for just these reasons.

Don't get me wrong. I believe in being prepared. I just don't own any rose colored glasses.
