Be safe.
I tend to think the same thing. That if our military were ordered against US citizens, they'd look at Washington and say "you fuckin' want us to do WHAT? Against our familes, friends and neighbors? Fuck YOU! Our jobs are to defend them from all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC! Guess where politicians like you fall in that description?"

I really believe that our military and LEO's, even though trained to follow orders, will NOT turn on US citizens. Orders are one thing, but orders to murder your own people? Maybe they do that in other countries but I just can't see that happening here, at least not on a large scale. Maybe isolated incidents with troublemakers, but not general "herd 'em all up into the camps" bullshit like what happens in various dictatorships.

I've never understood how dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, Khadafy, Assad, and how many dozens of others......can obtain so much power like that. Seems to me that people would say "that MF'ers a lunatic, we'd better eliminate that threat right now and do something different."
