Especially young men who are soldiers. They are trained to follow orders

any mercy on them because they're fellow citizens would be very sorry.
Troops will do whatever their officers order them to do. If that means
firing on American citizens you'd be a fool if you bet your life they
wouldn't.

You must not have served in the military of the USA.


You're right. But I have seen so many instances where troops did
whatever they were ordered to do, no matter how heinous it was, that I
know you'd be nuts to think people in the military won't obey their
orders. Even if it means killing old people, women, and children. So why
would a fellow countryman be safe?
