It's a possibility. But when it comes down to it, the soldiers won't turn on their families just because someone with shiny rank says to.

lol You better stop right there! "LOL SAWLDURS WUNT TERN ON FAMULIES! HURRR!" Thank god you know this for a fact! Hopefully these soldiers that get PAYED by the government will not do their job because of their families involvement . I like to think that also but say if its some sort of depression and times are hard, they wont just be detaining their families when ordered to but also taking their guns and whatever else need be. It wouldn't be because their loyalty is with the government but because they will be trying to use their money to help their unemployed family members.
Just a thought though. Probably wont ever happen.

So tell me.....You must not know ANYBODY that is in the US military? If you do, they must be a real piece of work. If the example they have shown you is this trash that youve posted here, I fell sorry for you and your misguided sense of family.
Do you honestly believe that US SOLDIERS are mindless drones with no free will? Do you have any idea what US SOLDIERS swear to protect when they enlist? They dont swear to protect a fat sweaty polititian in Washington DC. They swear to protect the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THEY SWEAR TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
I understand that you were a little tipsy when you posted this, but honestly, man, think about something before you write it!

As far as me knowing people in the US military, I know several and the few I have spoke with would be more inclined to defend their home and family than serve to the contrary. That is not to say that they wouldn't do it to someone elses family. Sorry I ever mentioned it.

I understand there are a lot of illegals in our military now, join up and become a citizen. Also foreign mercenaries as per New Orleans w/ Katrina.
The troops didn't seem to mind walking up and down the streets of New Orleans, busting in people's homes who were high and dry, handcuffing them and taking their guns, old ladies, people who had no defense against vandals who were out everywhere prowling around. (probably mostly CIA and Mossad provacateurs or BATF, who knows)
Yeah, remember how FEMA was so "helpful" during Katrina, cutting the phone wires so the local police and firemen couldn't communicate, keeping the food and water away from the people?

If they are defending their home and family, then how exactly would they be out harming someone else's? Can't be two places at once.

Yep. This should tell us what the rest of us have in store from our beloved government who is "here to help us."

Is this just an honest training exercise, giving the National Guard the ability to practice their skills for real life situations?
Short answer, yes. People here fail to realize that the National Guard are the ones who get called in for a state emergency. If they don't train, they can't do their jobs. If they can't do their jobs, people can get hurt. If another Katrina hits, or some other disaster, I would much rather they have all the training they need than just wing it because people are so paranoid they mistake a training exercise for a military take-over.

I assume you have sources for that ignorant statement? I'd like to see them if you would be so kind.

Sources? I don't recall any reports of old ladies having their doors busted down and their guns confiscated by the big bad military.

And again, sources?
if a radical group is threatening to cause harm to civilians, the FBI should be called in. and only, only if the FBI is not capable of handling the situation, should the national guard be called in to assist them.
this increase in military training in suburban settings is scaring the hell out of everybody and fuels the real radical conspirecy nuts...it validates what they say, leading more and more people to start believing them.
