| 5. Survey for Marines: Would you shoot citizens? |
|
I remember hearing maybe 10 or 15 years ago about a survey passed around Marines at Camp Pendleton asking whether or not they would fire on protesting citizens. I thought at the time, "this is complete crap. Of course not."
I don't recall who sponsored this survey. It migh have been anonymous. But based on what has been happening it's all pretty damn scary.
What if one reason to keep a large ground component in contact with the Insurgency in Iraq was to desensitize Marines and soldiers into firing on US citizens?
I don't think they would do it. But that wouldn't stop the Rovian logic of trying to do it.
