I just laugh at all the people saying no Marine would ever fire on US citizens. Anyone believing that has absolutely zero knowledge of history.
Nobody here has said that.
Marines have a code of honor and most of them are very good people.
Can we say NONE would follow illegal orders? Of course not.

Maybe so but; only under bizarre situations under extreme circumstances of which I can't imagine. If the Marines are lied to and they think they are protecting other citizens then I might see where they could fire on us. But you can't keep up a lie especially asking Marines to take action against their brothers.
Always understand the military people are US in uniform serving their time in dedication to our country, NEVER FORGET THAT!
There are too many people who have a screw loose and watch way too much tv. I see a lot of paranoia on these boards and it makes me mad when they begin to believe our military brothers and sisters are our enemy. Someone mentioned in their response to this bs post that the military has a numbers problem and this is true. There are way too many military trained civilians like me who have an arsenal in their homes AND CAN USE IT EFFECTIVELY. I do have an small arsenal but I know it will never be used against my countrymen.

Waste your time on others here who might fall for it.

Thread is full of posts like "I was in the military and no way, never" or "my so and so is in the military and this is ridiculous", blah, blah, blah.
Yeah well I was in the military too and anyone saying the above is either simply lying or they are seriously fascist already. The military is absolutely teaming with psychopaths.

And you are ??? Paranoid? Schizophrenic??, delusional? on meds?? The Marines kick you out because you like boys? Were you a #BIRD?
You can question my military credentials it's a free world but I feel sorry for you as a supposed ex military whatever calling me a fascist? f you too and I doubt you ever did serve.
You in your ignorance do have a point and the military does have it's share of radical pyschopaths, but so does this forum so think about that.
I think that our ENEMIES are putting crap like this on these boards to turn us against our brethren! Don't for a second believe this and don't turn your back on our brothers and sisters in uniform!

I too grew up in a military family and have many friends/family members enlisted in the marines/air force/and navy. No army. But regardless, I know of atleast 5,000 in each branch ready to turn this around on "the bad guys" They will NOT kill American women and children or force Americans into modern day concentration camps. Trust me. They don't realize that the second they declare war on the American people, they're declaring war on themselves.

Those who keep insisting that the Marines would not fire on civilians must be thinking of a scenario where it's a bright sunny day on Main Street, and little Susie and Tommy are playing in the street. Suddenly, Marines jump out of a truck and, on order, shoot them down.
No, this is under conditions of Martial Law, due to an economic collapse, or famine, or whatever. Fires are burning in the streets as people riot. The local authorities have lost control due to all the civilians running around with guns. The military (not just the Marines) are called in to restore order. They are told these people are trying to destroy the American way of life. They are threatening the safety of the military personnel's family and friends. Rocks and bottles are hurled, someone shoots a gun, and all hell breaks loose.
A number of you mentioned all the arms owned by civilians and how they will resist an illegal order for Martial Law. Well, don't you think that will make you appear as an armed threat to the military?
I have Marine vets as friends (I'm an ex-squid) who are the best people you can meet. But, even sitting in a living room, watching TV, I've seen some of them rant, "America...love it or leave it", and how protestors make them so mad they'd like to take them out back for a good beating. They see these people not as Americans, but as threats to the American way. If they can feel this way about someone they see protesting on TV, how are they going to react when they are on the line as I described above, facing an angry crowd.
