Hey now, I was sea duty Navy... ever see Down Periscope? I wouldn't know how to do half of what you said.

Folks use Kent State as an example. The Guard was not trained for crowd control, and were only provided their M-14's. Things were thrown at them, they were unprepared, and they reacted in what a few perceived as danger.

There's still a lesson here. Don't attack the military unless you feel they are breaking the law, and that you have superior firepower and cover.

Our military will likely sit it out if things go tits up. They'll likely stay on base, and justifiably protect those assets.

If I were a soldier assigned to guard my post, and I were assaulted by a group of old ladies using walkers, before I'd let my post fall, I'd mow them down. I would defend myself and my post. Period.

No one attacks the military on their installations, or doing their security general duty, there will be no problem.

The military starts following orders to take weapons or gather civilians, illegally search homes or vehicles, or blockade roads, then they are wrong, and hopefully, a well-armed militia will stop that.

For every line, a few will always cross that line from both sides, and therein lies the danger.

Soldiers should know that they are not to be used here in the States against the American people. Then there will never be a problem.

But some will.

We should all recall our oath to the Constitution, and for those who never took the oath, they better remember what it is.

And who is this fifth-grader Bobby what's-his-face that knows as much about the military as he knows about quaternions?

Five will get you ten he wears his shorts backwards.

Anyone points a gun at some of our finest better ---- well know what they're getting into.
I thought real hard awhile back about a worst case scenario shtf deal and decided there would never come a day I could raise a weapon toward an American soldier.
Its just a line I cant cross,its a line I cant imagine. I have a hard time imagining them pointing their weapons at us also.

Would I turn on my fellowcountrymen? Nope. Would I help arrest people who "fail" to take a forced vaccine, nope. They'd have to arrest me to I guess

Most of our military members are a bright group of people(for the most part LOL).

I would not lift a finger, not one iota of my energy would be spent on policing my own people! Not ever would I support martial law.

.I am quite surprised to see so much activity here.
I think I was like the third poster and was a little worried about my brothers getting into a Gov. trap.
I haven't had time to read all the posts .
A little of what I know I will tell
Nam ended with a drug problem. Girls were wanting to become warriors.
The government changed the rules like a girl changes clothes.
Sailors wanted to sleep with there ship mates and cadets created sex gates
Yes these are not the majority but they got the sauce.
Do not forget this___ The Guard is over there where they don't belong and our permeable borders are seething with bad people.
Brain warfare can be directed in any direction a wealthy or religious group chooses.
Keep your powder dry.
