OUTSTANDING!! I just left my neighbors house. Devon is with the National Guard for this area. He just got home from a EDRE (emergency deployment readiness exercise) at the armory. He said that during the exercise 3 companies of infantry were polled by questionare about the drill and it’s purpose. One of the questions was, will you as a member of the Nat. Guard use lethal force against the American public if ordered to do so? One of the men stepped forward and refused to take the poll and explained that it was a moral judgement on his part and that he could not do so. He then placed his weapon on the ground and fell in behind the formation. Devon said it was like a waterfall, Every member layed their weapons on the deck and fell in beside the one lone specialist. This included ALL NCO’s, STAFF NCO’s and SENIOR NCO’s. The only people left in front of the original formation was 3 Capt’s. 2 Lt’s and the BN Commander who was so upset he started having chest pains from yelling and screaming about court martials and disbandment of the unit into other units.
I just heard from Devon. He was TX’d by his Plt LDR and advised that the Specialist Who first layed down his weapon is being held in county jail by the Bn CMDR, awaiting a hearing under the UCMJ.

What is terrifying is that there is a questionaire on this in the first place!!!!!!
The vast majority of military personnel will NOT fire on U.S. citizens. You people really need to quit worrying about U.S. military personnel doing this.

I ask, if you are concerned about this, what are you doing to prepare? Have you armed yourself? If so, have you simply purchased a gun, or have you learned how to use it properly, and with precision?
Have you stocked up on food, water, and other supplies?

So he answered the poll question and then "refused to take the poll". Sounds like he took the poll and then refused to take a bunch of orders after that.

Nope. He refused to take the poll altogether when the content of it was revealed. And then everybody did the same thing since it was obvious the poll was trying to make the national guard violate their oath. Pretty simple.
