Lmao! I honestly got a good chuckle out of your views about the military. You really have no clue how the majority of your military personnel are. No, we're not all just a bunch of mindless robots until the war tears us apart. You REALLY should go around a military base and put a few drinks back with some of the guys-then maybe you'll see things for how they really are.

The only people spoiling for a civil war are those fat Teabaggers who bring lawn chairs to rallies so that their sciatica pain doesn't start being an issue after 10 minutes of "taking their country back". They can store up all the guns they want, but there's no real fight in those folks. I'm not seeing a problem here, and neither is the government. This is stupid.

Okay then. How often do soldiers refuse to follow direct orders from superior officers?
You make it sound like they have the option to question them, to think it over, to debate...then Maybe to follow.
Discipline. Demotion. Court-martial. Things like that I guess are old school and no longer play a role in today's military, which I'm terribly ignorant of. Maybe I don't have clue, as you say. But then again I'm not up on the changing times.

I don't intend to die fighting. I won't be going to a camp either.
The people who end up in camps are those who were not able to flee to safety. I have my exit strategy and provisions so if they get me it will be pure luck on their part.
More than likely those people in cities who depend on welfare will be the first to go. Next will be the people who lose their jobs and houses and end up on the street.
Of course, before this happens there will be the clash that starts it all and millions of protesters will be rounded up. They will likely be starved like the Jews were since they will be the ones most likely to revolt in the camps.
I am sort of on the fence about the whole thing. Maybe the camps are there for us or maybe for some unforeseen enemy force we know nothing about, but the fact remains that there are too many people on the planet abusing resources. This is unsustainable. The Earth has always done what it had to do to keep life in check and history teaches us that every time we think we are the master of our domain the Earth lashes out and sends us back to the stone age.
I don't think men will ever learn to live in harmony with the Earth or each other. They will always quibble over pride or greed or ideologies. The sickness is so rampant that greed is not only acceptable, but encouraged and none of the rich ever apologize for their actions because they are demigods. You can't change them. They make the rules and determine your future hence the Fema camps. BTW, there will be no RICH people in those camps.
So I have a plan that includes a boat and a bunch of gear that will allow me to find a remote spot in the jungle and set up residence. I have learned to be self sufficient and not only survive, but thrive. People will make fun of me and label me, but they are the ones with the problem. My eyes are wide open and as long as things stay the way they are I will continue to live my life the way I am now. If people start disappearing I will know it is time to make my preps, but I won't be fighting any battles.

So this information comes from an unnamed random informant. Seems believable. What is really funny is how the people on this site never believe anything the government says unless its something they want to hear.
I can just as easily say that an unnamed dhs informant says there is no plans for civil war.

Think what you want, but preparedness is next to godliness. I am not telling people to do anything or even to think a certain way. I am only saying that I feel comfortable in my own state of preparedness and if others feel threatened by world events they can do the same thing to alleviate the stress from their lives and be able to sleep at night after watching the local news or reading a few paragraphs at ATS.
