Common Misconception

I think it was Radar who mentioned on another thread that American troops would never fire on American citizens. Do National Guardsman fresh from Iraq count? They will not care what passport a sniper is carrying. I'm more worried about the lives of other folks who may be shot in a confusing protest turned riot situation. We send folks overseas and teach them to overcome any instinct they have not to kill their fellow human beings. Now we're going to put them among a very stressed civilian population. I'm expecting the worst.
