Your faith in the military is endearing.I certainly hope that you're right. That they'll just leave the civilian population unmolested. That they'll refuse orders. But what we've seen in the US throughout all of its history leads me to believe otherwise.Going back in time from the outrageous abuses that the Bush administration has wrought, from the implications of Padilla, the Military Commissions Act, the normalization of torture, to violations of the entire Bill of Rights in the aftermath of Katrina, to the Clinton administration and Waco (and the handling of Ruby Ridge's perpetrators), to Kent State during the 60s, to concentration camps during the 40s, to Reconsturction and Civil War in the 1800s? I have faith in the fact that the authorities will slaughter civilians.It can happen here, and it has already begun.
WRONG. These people are bots. They do exactly what they're told by their higher ups and they've been programmed to do so. Americans or not, they will slash the throats of their fellow citizens if they are asked to do so.
Everybody is bitching that this is a Russian News Agency but the fact remains they are asking Americans on US streets this simple question. They don't talk about this stuff on American Idol, Reality TV, or Monday Night Football so I am not surprised that Americans have no idea that this is going to happen.

Thank god I stopped contributing to that war-mongering Neocon think tank masquerading as a Libertarian outfit.
