The overwhelming majority of American soldiers would refuse under any circumstances to fire on American civilians regardless of their orders. I have a feeling those in the FBI, CIA, BATF, NSA, and others under the "Homeland Security Department" would be more than willing to shoot Americans.

Blackwater! Also the military continues to push for and deploy more robots, drones and autonomous killing machines that require just a couple sickos to operate an army.

Umm, Radar, where were you during the late '60s? I'm afraid you are unduly optimistic about their reluctance to shoot people. They had few problems shooting students before, maybe it's only armed middle-aged types they would think twice about.
