Reply #26: Don't forget, a significant part of the armed force in Iraq

consists of mercenaries like those working for Blackwater. I believe these private armies will fire on anyone they are paid to fire on.

I also believe that many servicemen would fire on those they believe to be "unpatriotic." Don't forget the way the members of the antiwar movement were often attacked by cops, crowds of hardhats, and National Guardsmen. Kent State is just the one we remember most.

Do you honestly believe soldiers who were raised in the sort of family that considers liberals and antiwar, pro-choice folks to be goddless baby-murdering traitors would hesitate to kill a few for their hero Bush?
