Due,
I have a question that has bothered me a long time now and perhaps you guys, Beldin and Professor and yourself, may have some thoughts on this.

Were the PEOPLE of this country to rise up in rebellion, revolution over this continual downward tyrannical socialist government, and God forbid, but we rise to the point of necessity of bearing arms and marching to Washington for the purpose of overthrowing this tyrannical government and beginning anew again,
what would the soldiers in the military do?

Would they violate their oaths and fire on U.S. citizens? This has intrigued me for a long time as to what our military forces may actually do if the citizens of this country actually said "enough is enough, if they will not listen to we the people, the the people need to effect change" and decided to march on Washington?

I could not fire on civilians. Would we be considered civilians? If not, the only thing the dictator in charge could brand us would be enemy combatants, which reveals his true self, even to the military.

Interesting thing to consider is it not?

Tia,

micro...
