The title of...
The titled of this Dash is really a question that needs to be asked. President tRump is the commander and chief of the military and recently he and some others sent troops, boats, and aircraft recently to defend our southern border so there is no doubt about it that we are at war.
My question to...
My question to you is can you really trust that the men and women currently in the armed services have ever read the constitution? Could it be beyond the realm possibility that those same men and women will actually fire their weapons on the people of this country?
If you answered that they wouldn’t fire on the people you need to think again.
Back in the ...
Back in the 1970’s at a small college in Ohio named Kent State University there was a “peaceful Vietnam war protest” taking place on the campus there.
Young people didn’t like the fact that they were being drafted to go fight a senseless war in a foreign country and were demonstrating their discontent with the situation.
I don't recall...
I don’t recall the governor of Ohio’s name at the time and I’m not going to bother looking it up, his name isn’t important to the story. What he did do though was very important; he mobilized the Ohio National Guard , a military reserve unit of the national army to go break up the protest.
The outcome of that order by the governor ended up with four students dead and nine wounded when dust and gun smoke had settled.
The Ohio National guardsmen didn’t seem to have any problem whatsoever pulling their triggers on those students that day. Since the nation was technically “at war” some say that the governor was justified in ordering the troops to restore the “peace” on the campus.
Just know that we are at war right now, and if you think it couldn’t happen, it already has in our history.
There a lot...
There are a lot of unknowns right now with COVID19 situation, and we are getting more restless everyday as this goes on.
I heard on the radio that nationwide protests are being organized and some taking place today. I am all for people expressing their dissatisfaction with the current situation, I’ve even advocated for civil disobedience recently.
But civil disobedience doesn’t mean throwing rocks and bottles at the “law” enforcement folks some of who may end up being national guardsmen.
So just to be clear "civil disobedience" consists of two word; civil and disobedience. Act civil and go ahead and disobey their orders, remain in honor as a man.
Sure , they will...
Sure, they will arrest you, but just remember when you are to appear in court that you are an “idiot”. The judge and the prosecutor know the rules and the meaning of the word “idiot” so you will be home in no time and free to do it all again if you desire.
Those National Guard folks I wouldn’t want to take any chances with.
Throwing rocks and bottles at them didn’t work out to well for those college kids back in Ohio and I don’t have any reason to believe the folks wearing those uniforms are any different today than those who wore them in the 1970’s.
I almost forgot...
I almost forgot to answer the main question; what will it be like under military occupation here in the USA?
It will be just like it always has been since the 1860’s.
Until next time,
