81. Some people in BOTH the RIGHT AND THE LEFT
engage in it.

But the Armed Forces of the US have fired on civilians before. The MOST RECENT incident is Kent State. So to believe that they will not is silly. The history is there. If they do not, it will require the kind of apparent revolt we have seen in the armed forces of Egypt. By the way, it does have a name, Mutiny. Of course it is not mutiny when you are on the winning side.

By the way the fear from the RIGHT, is deep enough they are WILLING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES, as in take up arms. Deal with it.

Oh and before you say it, I am the wife of a retired USN Chief Petty Officer.

And I know a RETIRED petty officer, and a few retired officers too.

Armies do fire on citizens when the conditions are right. deal with it... that is FUCKING HISTORY, even in DEMOCRACIES. At times armies DISOBEY direct orders... deal with it. Having an awareness of this does not make people anti american... in this case, deal with it.

And yes your broad brush against the left IS a RIGHT WING ECHO MACHINE fiction. DEAL WITH IT!
