39. Protesters have tried to get the military to act in human interests here ... big hurdle however....
Edited on Sat Feb-05-11 04:51 PM by defendandprotect
when these young men could face military retribution if the wrong side wins!

Don't think these young men are thinking about the Pentagon -- they're young -- 18-20 --

and as I recall it, they disobeyed orders to attack these protesters originally/?

Isn't that the way it happened? People thought they checked with parents as to what to do?

They are going to be averse to attacking these people they identify with -- that's why the

military works so hard to create "aliens" and "them and us" situations -- and to make

attackers and the "enemy" almost anonymous/non-persons.

In this case, I think the Military leaders are going to find a way around this human

compassion which is in their way right now.

Had the original instructions been followed, this would have all been over on ... day 3/?



These young men if the military/Obama/CIA/Mubarak prevail will not be part of the "winners."

They will become part of the oppressed.
