I too did 6 years in the USMC 59-75. And there is no way that our military will pull the trigger on a citizen. Maybe a few, but they would be cut down by others in the unit.

I am a little surprised that someone claiming to be active military would get so much attention. There are millions that have served. And they are not trying to be provocative, just good citizens. I question this Sgt.

Pit, you have forgotten about a few incidents, such as the "Bonus Army massacre", and the Kent State (possibly justified).

In the end, however, the Military would bog itself down with internal strife if ever ordered to go to war against the US citizens.

I pray we live in freedom and peace forever.

"And there is no way that our military will pull the trigger on a citizen."

If we fail to halt the collectivist train we're on, future generations of Americans will see this come to pass, likely our grandchildren.

I agree that it won't happen today. But the speed of "change" will continue to amaze you.

0bama has already stated he wants a "National Security Force" that "just as powerful [as our military]"--what do you think he wants to do with that power, folks? Help granny cross the street?
