“Warning shots will not be fired”
A newly leaked US Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations” outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.
The document (PDF), which is dated 2006 and was used for a self-learning course at the U.S. Army Military Police School at Fort McClellan, makes it clear that the operations described in the manual apply to both “CONUS and OCONUS,” meaning inside the Continental United States and outside the Continental United States.
The document outlines how military assets will be used to “help local and state authorities to restore and maintain law and order” in the event of mass riots, civil unrest or a declaration of martial law.
(4) In addition, the following policies regarding the use of deadly force will be observed:
(a) Give an order to halt.
(b) Warning shot will not be fired.
(c) When a firearm is discharged it will be fired with the intent of rendering the person(s) at whom it
is discharged incapable of continuing that activity or course of behavior prompting the individual to
shoot.
(d) Shot will be fired only with due regard for the safety of innocent bystanders.
(e) In the case of holstered weapons, a weapon should not be removed from the holster unless there
is reasonable expectation that use of the weapon may be necessary.
(5) Even when its use is authorized, deadly force must be used only with great selectivity and precision
against the particular threat which justifies its use. For example, the receipt of sniper fire, however
deadly, from an unknown location can never justify "returning the fire" against any or all persons who
may be visible on the street or in nearby buildings. Such random response is far too likely to result in
accidents among innocent bystanders or fellow law enforcement personnel; the appropriate response is
to take cover and try to locate the source of the fire so that the threat can be neutralized.
The document also explains how the military will be involved in spying on and gathering information on dissidents to identify the, “Existence of persons, groups, or organizations which have distinctively threatened or are creating disturbances.”
“Crowd control agents” will also be deployed for the purpose of “reducing resistance,” states the manual, which also implies that troops will be used to confiscate firearms.
“Restrictions on the sale, transfer, and possession of sensitive material such as gasoline, firearms, ammunition, and explosives will help control forces in minimizing certain forms of violence,” states the document on page 40.
“Consideration may be given to evacuating sensitive items, such as weapons from stores,” the manual also states on page 27.
outlines how internees would be “re-educated” into developing an “appreciation of U.S. policies” while detained in prison camps inside the United States.
“Warning shots will not be fired”
I have two good friends, one was in the Army and the other was in the Marines, both are Iraq veterans, the Marine is also a veteran of Afghanistan. The Army friend confessed to me he would take guns from American citizens – the Marine friend is now a mercenary so that’s also a yes, I assume. There is no doubt in my mind the military, in large numbers, will be used against American citizens and most are too brain-dead to know the difference.
And just for the record I do have issue with the military... giving kill orders to f#cking idiots and I know plenty.

You know when you fire a warning shot in the air, it has to come down somewhere.
This is why to this day, warning shots are illegal in the US for ANYONE military, police or even civillians.
Of course the US Navy uses warning shots on their boats but, the ocean is a big empty zone anyway.

Have you even considered that besides meaning "no warning shots" literally means, no warning shots, it could also just mean "if things get out of hand, just shoot"? No? Doesn't matter how positively you interpret it, there is a negative side to this that can't be ignored no matter how much you try to hide it.
