The overwhelming majority of American soldiers would refuse under any circumstances to fire on American civilians regardless of their orders.
sorry it took a while to respond. i had to stop laughing first. i don't know what military members you are familiar with, but... well hell, there are a lot of buts to put in there. in the end, if i tell one of my troops to put a bullet in someone because "they are the enemy" and my troop refuses? bullshit - my troop won't refuse for fear of the repurcussions.

i'm not saying that i would tell my people to fire on americans - i am saying that if i did they would either do it or risk being shot on the spot. end of story.
