Didnt read the article but as in New Orleans the troops did what they were told to do as most will at all times...something to ponder.

U.S. troops will not wholesale shoot Americans...that is my opinion. If any wholesale shooting of Americans started, the soldiers would fracture into factions and start killing each other. It's a slippery slope and I feel confident our volunteer military will not turn on us. The private mercenary armies are another story.

I think the US Civil War answers this question.

June 16, 2007
WASHINGTON -- A little-noticed provision in the proposed immigration bill would grant instant legal status and ultimately full citizenship to illegal immigrants if they enlist in the US military, an idea the Pentagon and military analysts say would boost the Pentagon's flagging efforts to find and recruit qualified soldiers

what if
the military made up a division of mexican illegals ( with La Raza sentiments )
specifically tailored for Martial Law purposes

" join the US army and shoot gringos "

i'd say you'd better start to like tacos, small rat dogs, and getting drunk and shooting your pistols in the air.

The shock troops are chomping at the bit to to light the average america sheep up like christmas tree...

Well senor, I already like these things...especially the shooting pistola's in the air...but I no likee no mexicanees coming here for fighting...that's muey mal. Santa Anna already tried that...the result will be the same, mas chico Mexico, mas grande Ustados Unitos. :bandito:

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

Come on. The State might be dumb, but it's not so dumb as to hand a gun to someone and say "Shoot your brother." They didn't do that in Waco, they didn't to it in Columbine, and they didn't do it on 911. They'll tell some lie, like "it's for national security", and say we have to make those citizens comply. Problem-reaction-solution. They did it during Katrina. Problem: looting. Reaction: restore law and order. Solution: beat up grandma and take away everyone's gun while leaving the looters alone.

They'll do the same crap if we unite and form our own community outside of the FEMA camps. We're not paying taxes, we're spreading disease with our un-vaccinated cows/chickens, we're enemy combatants, we're right-wing militants, etc; the State wants us to comply and starts pumping out propaganda against us. solution: kill us a la waco style. And the most we'll get from our fellow citizens before they shoot us is a "Oops, sorry, better you than me." These people don't care about right or wrong, liberty and freedom, or goodness and truth. When times are rough, they'll only care about putting bread on the table for them and their family even if that means killing us. Seriously, would you do any different? Black is white, war is peace, slavery is freedom.

I guess that depends on what drugs the bosses slipped into their breakfast the day the SHTF.

Dubble bump!!

Great synopsis and I fully agree.

I think there was a story on here about a Big pharma making drugs that once given will make make soliders remorse less.


Anybody out there have that link....

Hey, I'm already 50% there.
I never did like tacos, though.

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

Exactly what I was going to say.

It's not a black and white choice for these guys. They will be told that whoever they're supposed to massacre are the BAD GUYS, or even TERRA'ISTS!

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

I believe they would. They will be told that you are extremely dangerous, a domestic terrorist or something else to take the edge off of them from doing it. People in the military are expected to follow orders, not challenge them. If you are in the military and don't follow orders, you will have your weapon taken away from you, handcuffed and confined if you are in a combat setting.

The rule to remember is this: "Don't expect anyone to do the right thing these days".

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

Well, I'd tend to agree... if folks nowa days had steel balls and REAL backbone.

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

Someone I know was one of those marines, and he told me about this a long time ago. When I put on my tinfoil thinking cap, my guess is that when this confiscation effort takes place, most American troops will be in foreign lands, and they will use foreign U.N. troops to kick down our doors just like our troops are doing in Iraq.:banghead:

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

I can only speak as a former Marine NCO that if my officer told me to shoot civilians, I would have my entire platoon take care of him before them.

Just following orders is not an excuse.

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

That is commendable.....but is is gonna land you right in the hopper!!!You disobey orders you better be prepared to walk away from everything......better yet RUN..as they will probally put a bounty on your head for being a "sympathsizer'

Hard choices lay ahead for all of us for sure

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

That'll be interesting. The flip side to the coin is "will American citizens be will ing to shoot US soldiers"? The majority would say no but the answer might be different if it's Russian or Chinese troops breaking down doors, trying to force your family into a FEMA camp.

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

Yup, 15 months in an OEF or OIF rotation is a piece of cake. :sarc:

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

American troops have always been ready to shoot American people, it goes back along ways. Whisky rebellion, civil war, mining massacres, and Kent State to name a few.:thumpdown

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

Agreed, and nice George Orwell reference at the end. :wink:

Re: U.S. Troops Asked If They Would Shoot American Citizens
 

I don't believe for a second US soldiers will shoot their own people, nor would American citizens shoot soldiers! However...I believe the police wouldn't hesitate to shoot citizens. Right now cops are out in force screwing citizens by ticketing for any offense to make up for city and state budget shortfalls.
Public servents my ass! The majority of police are egomaniacs with something to prove. They love the power they have over the common guy. I'm not saying that thay don't have a purpose, just that they abuse their power.
I personally never needed a cop in my life and would venture to say most people don't view the police as their friend.
Any opinions?
