Do you really believe that they will take these foundless Americans and order them to fight and kill their fellow American countrymen?

Think about it.......They will be facing and killing regular people who they meet on the street, at movie theaters, ball games and who they have grown up with. This will not be some faceless enemy who has attacked our country or speaks a foreign language.

No, these “soldiers” will be the attackers and the enemy of their own country and people, ordered by their commanders to kill their friends, family and countrymen. In the name of a clearly rogue government.

This so called “Marine” who wrote this is no Marine I ever knew. The whole article is complete fiction.

“these foundless Americans”
I’ve never encountered this term. What does it mean?

“Think about it.......They will be facing and killing regular people who they meet on the street, at movie theaters, ball games and who they have grown up with.”

They won’t be facing and killing regular people they meet on the street. They will be engaged in firefights with pissed off civilians.
In the last War Between the States there didn’t seem to be any hesitation by the troops involved to shoot down their fellow americans who spoke the same language, because their fellow americans were shooting at them. Did the National Guard troops shoot or not at their fellow citizens at Kent State? These were weekend warriors with a closer relationship (due to being a civilian more often than a soldier) with their fellow citizens than a regular and yet they opened fire! Why? Because they were scared and felt threatened.
What you are not comprehending is that all of this fellowship, countryman bonding, etc all goes down the drain at the first shot. It doesn’t matter who torches it off, either.

“This so called “Marine” who wrote this is no Marine I ever knew. The whole article is complete fiction.”
Irrelevant. As posted earlier I have spoken with a real Marine and we both came to a different conclusion than you.
