It is unrealistic to suppose that the military or the police are going to herd people into prison camps, unless there is a very compelling reason -
and why? - just to execute them!?
I keep reading this on ATS. Let me tell everybody something, it is exactly what you should expect. All you have to do is look at Germany during
Hitler's reign. Look at what happened under Stalin, Mao, and other dictators. It is not hard to get the military to act in the way it is ordered.
How many police officers raided houses to drag undesirable German citizens from their homes? What was the purpose of the maniacal arrests? It was to
ship off people to work in concentration camps. It was to send people to their death. Millions of Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Disabled, and
undesirable people were destroyed. The police and military lead the round ups against their fellow citizens.
You have to remember that the soldiers are trained to see the military as a brotherhood joined against all that threaten their government. Then they
are taught to follow orders under the threat of jail or death. As the are trained they are constantly told that they are the line between America's
continuance and the end of the republic. So you have a group of guys that believe they are the saviors of the nation, but they must follow orders or
face harsh consequences. Plus they are told that disobeying orders could get their "brothers" killed.
Now who are they going to protect? Are they going to protect me and you? Don't you think that protecting their own rear and their brothers will be
more important? Would you be more likely to protect a stranger or the person you have lived, slept, ate, and trained with for the last four years?
The military and the police have their own priorities and I wouldn't expect them to line up with mine if TSHTF.
Don't over estimate the general populace's willingness to help out either. Remember we had internment camps for Asians during WWII. It was actually a
pretty popular idea among non asians across the country. National security required that we isolate these people. We didn't want to risk them being
spys or sabateurs. Once the propaganda was in full swing Americans threw their full support behind the measure.
So, don't think that the police, military, or general populace will be there to rescue you. Don't expect them to stand up. If you want to resist and
remain free, in such a situation, you better be prepared to fight like a cornered cat.
