Would U.S. Troops Fire On Americans?


www.infowars.com
The question often has been asked, especially during these last few years, if American military troops would indeed fire upon American citizens if so ordered by Washington. The answer? Have no doubt America, because it’s already happened.

WWI was a terrible war that introduced new weapons and tactics resulting 100,000 US deaths as well as US 200,000 wounded and gassed in the first eighteen months alone.

The soldiers fighting that war for America earned between $1.00 and $1.50 per day while

I have cleared buildings and clearing doesn't involve killing everyone inside.

You clear it of hostiles. The kind that are armed and shoot at you.

If you shoot at a soldier or marine, your going to get shot back at.
I would recommend not shooting at military personnel.

Will US troops shoot themselves?


Friendly fire incidents are rare now, but earlier in the wars were more common.

If ordered I expect many will shoot anything, and some may even enjoy it, or have I seen too many movies.

Circumstances that could get someone shot:

1. Shooting at military personnel. That is a big no-go.

2. Destroying or stealing military property.

3. Shooting at civilians or emergency services.

4. Driving into a checkpoint with the gas pedal floored.

5. Driving at military personnel and not stopping.

6. Looting , especially other people's homes.

7. Rioting with molotov cocktails and melee weapons like knives.

There's probably a few more, but those are good examples.

This is why it's a good idea to use booby traps so you don't have to shoot at them!

However the U.S. Army under Pershing's command had a young George Patton cleared out a Hooverville shanty town of unemployed veterans protesting the deferal of their promised bonuses being deferred for 10 years after they got back from World War I.

The Hooverville style camp they set up was neat and orderly, unarmed and the men, many who had their wives and children present maintained law and order in it, and even conducted daily drills and exercises just to stay in shape.

Residents of Washington D.C. flooded out into the streets when Patton's men began firing on the veterans to disperse the camp.

They cried for shame for shame.

So yes American soldiers will not only fire on their fellow Americans but their fellow soldiers too.

Will Americans kill each other? A hundred thousand at a time and then some if Civil War battles are any indication.

With the right inducements, coercions and incentives and threats American soldiers will fire on American citizens.

You can count on American citizens firing right back, and anyone who wants to clear my building well...

Good luck there!

Give me , or any one inclined , 5 minutes , and I would have US soldiers

blasting citizens with a fury.

A soldier in a hostile enviroment, looks to his left and his right, to his Buddies

who are in the **** with him.

All you would have to do , is tell the Squad earlier in the day a Recon Group

came through here, and got cut to ribbons.

Lock and Loaded.

and you need to ask this question. go back in time to the days of good old VIETNAM -KENT STATE - should answer that one for you .they have and they did and the people of the great USA accepted it -openly with no remorse.remember they are dissidents and long haired drug crazed hippie killing freaks by the governments standards not that they have any.
or is your own nations history not taught in school now unless it makes the man seem self righteous. and the ugly truth is left untold.

i believe that the book that you all hold so dear -THE BIBLE-stated that they the children would be killed in their great halls of learning . KENT STATE was a university if i`m not correct.[one of the great halls of learning.]

if you are old enough to remember the news that was shown that day we watched it happen world wide police and national guards attacking the citizens in their own land -killing unarmed students while in full riot gear.with the governments full consent.

you should have watched the news the next day when the ;

POLICE
MILITARY
HEADS OF THE CHURCH
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

STOOD hand in hand with one another and told you all that this was needed to stop the riots . all because the kids dared to question them on their involvement in VIETNAM and that they the children wanted CHANGE not WAR,All because they refused to go to war and kill in some god forsaken country that was never a threat to the great USA.
they all were taught ;
the first commandment and they stood up for their belief`s and the ruling elite turned on them and shot them in the streets like stray dogs.

the most heinousness of crimes committed against it`s own people in their own country by their so called protectors -funny isn`t it they the tax payer paid the man and his minions to shoot their own children as you the taxpayer paid their wages to kill your own sons and daughters .and you still follow them like whipped curs.

the hardest all all things to watch was the above group of neo- nazi elitists turned their back and walked hand in hand back into their great office that day ;
THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON ALL OF THE PEOPLE OF THEIR NATION WITHOUT EVEN A BACKWARDS GLANCE.

i`d say that you the people of the USA are nothing more than 1 CANNON FODDER 2 ACCEPTABLE LOSSES 3 JUST MORE NUMBERS FOR THEIR BODY COUNT

YOUR RIGHTS WERE ALL SURRENDERED THAT DAY AS YOU ALLOWED IT AND DID NOTHING TO STOP IT -AND YOUR NATIONAL PRIDE IS BASED ON WHAT ?

more blood sacrifices for nothing,

If Hooverville was being cleared today it would inolve tear gas, rubber bullets, dogs, and sonic "cannons" like the LRAD.

Back then, things were very different. Even in the 1960s with Kent State, which was National Guard, things were different.

Today we have a number of non lethal methods that can be effectively used.

Well I can't gaurantee the booby traps won't be lethal!



Those things have worked well against unarmed protestors but in a true domestic rebellion things like that are just going to give armed protestors the incentive to fire.

It just takes one shot heard around the world in such situations and then all bets are off.

I am prepared to offer agreeable terms for the government's surrender!
