These "pissed off" civilians are the people who love and support our military. What makes you think they have any interest in firing upon our troops? It's the traitorous politicians they're after.
Your Kent State example is ludicrous! Those freaking hippies were anti-establishment, anti-law-and-order, *anti-military*.
Are you telling me our troops are too stupid to recognize the threat difference between angry leftist hippies and the Tea Party patriots who have been their *sole* source of support through these past difficult years?
My God, man! Even the congressional Democrats last week knew that the Tea Party people were so non-threatening that they waded into the protesters knowing they were all completely safe.
Ok. Believe what you wish.
