i don't keep guns, i just like to if out 4473 forms as a hobby and melt and destroy the evil devices

I would say, this, people are more willing to think about what's being told to them.

I would love to believe this, then I see the story about the cover up and horrible treatment of the soldiers exposed to aging chemical weapons in Iraq and I think the system will do whatever it deems necessary.

Meh. If they can find them, they deserve them. Good luck.

Old thread, but having served with different services, I can vouch that orders will be followed. Enlisted personnel are directed to follow all orders, then if they believe them to be illegal, report them through the chain of command. (Naturally, Mi Lai type stuff isn't covered, but this isn't on the same level.) If a junior enlisted refuses, he will be dealt with harshly so others will see, and will be talked down by unit leadership. If an NCO refuses, he will no longer be an NCO. If an officer refuses, he will be relieved of duty, or reassigned to a very bad place.

Talk all you want, but they will take your guns. I believe forced relocation will eliminate any chance of retrieving stashes, and those who evade will be hunted down. Do you have the skill and equipment to evade IR detection? Can you function without any heat source, water supply or sewer usage? The only way to escape, is to leave. And nobody wants you in their neighborhood any more than you wanted the Katrina refugees in yours.

And for the sniper mindset; ask the guys who played in the sand what happened when they took repeat fire and couldn't take them out.

my Lai was some nasty stuff. Everyone has their breaking point. If global oil supply ran out or our power grid failed... you would see My Lai x2 all over the country.
