No matter how you look at it martial law would not last very long.
Even IF they got U.S. soldiers to turn on the american public under false pretenses by staging another "terrorist" attack, presumably under the
guise of domestic terrorism, it wouldn't be long before our soldiers realized what was really going on and refused to allow it to go any further.
Even IF they got U.N. troops to do it for them the civilians and/or military of this country would completely decimate them.
Even IF the U.N. and/or U.S. military followed their illegal orders, do the math... 300 million armed and pissed off civilians Vs. maybe 10 million
(at the very best) military personel? That's an average of what 30 against 1?
But you have to look at the big picture here.
Our military took an oath to defend us FROM our government if the need ever arised.
(stop me if I'm wrong about this part)
Thanks to the Nuremberg trials any soldier who commits a crime can be prosecuted for that crime, even if that soldier is following an order. Knowing
this would you carry out an illegal order against your own nation?
Not to mention the fact that our soldiers are every bit as human as you and I. They have families and friends and I'm sure they wouldn't be naïve
enough to think their family and friends would be immune to the effects of martial law.
The citizens of this nation would revolt, riot, and burn this whole country to the ground if pressed far enough.
Don't believe it?
Look what happened during the L.A. riots when a jury acquitted four police officers accused in the videotaped beating of Rodney King. Thousands of
people in the Los Angeles area rioted over the six days following the verdict. Widespread looting, assault, arson, and murder occurred, and property
damages totaled one billion dollars.
I think martial law is a little bit more serious than the Rodney King trial, and would be perceived that way by the citizens of the entire nation.
The president is constantly surrounded by marines. I know a few marines and they are hardcore patriots. The marines that I know would gladly curb
stomp their own grandmother if they thought granny was attempting to enslave their whole nation.
If martial law is enacted I hope it is U.N. troops they use, for two reasons.
1. I think the world of our soldiers, and although I would do it if I absolutely had to, it would really rip me up inside to have to shoot one of our
own.
2. Blue helmets are much easier to see through a high powered scope.
