The scenario to look at would be New Orleans after Katrina. The military will indeed shoot civilians because they have been convinced that it’s for the overall protection.
Convincing people that right is wrong is what the communist process of “demoralization” is, and I have no doubts that they have been trying to demoralize our military. What I hear from the military lawyers leads me to think they’ve already succeeded.
I’ve pointed out that the exact reasoning used to accuse Lakin would also excuse German soldiers exterminating Jews. Now THAT is demoralized. The people arguing this have learned nothing from WWII. Really, really sad.

The National Guard seemed to have no problem assisting with gun confiscation and enforcing martial law during that dark chapter in New Orleans history. It is comforting that there are still plenty of people in the military who at least pay lip service to pro-freedom values and understand the Constitution. I just don’t want people on FR to count on a mass refusal of orders from the military if martial law is declared or some other scenario plays out that would have them posted up on our own streets doing a similar policing mission that we currently do in Iraq and Afghanistan.
