One Ill say that while i let my bad day and distaste for your comments obvious do not take me to be naive as i seem. I will tell you i personally asked nearly everyone in my plt and all said that they would follow no such orders (to either disarm or turn on civilians) Not one said they would and the ones i didnt ask i assure you would not follow such orders either. While having family in the military does bring you closer to it it does not mean you can relate to us my fathers father served my uncle served i have served but that does not mean i would let my father talk as if he knew how we would react in certain specific situations especially as a whole military. As for a real branch i mean one that requires its members to work for them everyday sometimes in combat and of whom a majority of its members didnt join to go to college and get a cool uniform to pick up college chicks. Thats just me though and i am in no way saying that there arent excellent people who serve in guard and reserve units but im just saying generally there is a reason they over react or do stupid sh*t they are under trained poorly maintained and generally relate more to their civilian jobs than the military. If you noticed i didnt say a thing about the FBI or LEOs as i cannot speak for them. The regular military(active duty personnel) would not follow orders to disarm or shoot civilians. As i have said earlier we are people too not mindless drones stop assuming we are. Again i speak from the perspective of active duty Marine infantrymen not office POGs or reservists.
The argument wasn't personal. You decided to take it personally.
History shows that soldiers will follow their orders. It's not an insult to you or anyone you know individually. Maybe you and your buddies would all refuse the order. Good for you. That would make you very unusual, however.
Perhaps you have some examples of large numbers of soldiers refusing to follow orders when they've been ordered to do these kinds of things. There are lots of examples when they did.
