I'm getting worried about our troops...
I'm feeling sick knowing the possibility that our troops could be put in a situation where they have to fire on their own civilians.
This seems like a likely scenario at this point. Has anyone else thought about this?

Don't get me wrong I'm really really worried about these victims too but I have a problem with our own troops having to turn against US citizens. It just seems terrible.

1. This is EXACTLY what the Neo-Cons want.
Inculcate the populace to martial law.

4. Well if the shithead had done some planning
And not given all the levee money to the rich, you wouldn't be having this worry.

5. Don't worry yo'purty little head Smurfykins...
Da boyz been trained about the "enemy" and when it gets presented as "nigras runnin' wild and loose in the streets," well... duty and all...
:sarcasm:

Sweetiekins, your fear is REAL. It happened at Kent State. "Our own troops" have sworn to defend the nation against enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. Those who take that vow sincerely and have an ounce of grey matter will NOT be firing upon their fellow citizens.
