you are correct firing on the military would be a bad thing, shooting at boats and rescue choppers is not a good idea either. very good answer to my question. i may have it worded differently than how you say it, but thats tyhe meat of what im talking about. seeing foriegn military on US soils makes me wonder but i have not seen much proof of that, though it's been mentioned a few times. i figured most soldiers would be like you and would not fire on americans unless provoked(ie shot at etc). i watche the "rioting at the G20 summit and everyone that got roughty seemed to be covering their face and had a hood on while other protesters nearby were like WTF and they are saying a man died at the protest. the good part is im not anti military and anti law enforcement, honestly the two professions don't get paid enough, but if they are somehow manipulated into some BS then i won't like it. BTW have you been deployed, they thought abt sending my dad to desert storm years ago right before he got out if that shows my age. speaking of katrina i know blackwater was there from the get go, some people claim of explosions near the levy(could have been anything really) and a reporter had a run in with them before the national guard was there. remember the british MI-5 people that were caught by US troops in Iraq shooting at americans and causing a lot of problems. they were detained, then released with a big apology and then nothing. check into that, sometimes the enemy is a false one, but your gut instinct can sometimes give it away.Originally Posted by BanginJimmy
