I get that. But its not as if the Brits were stepping onto the surface of Mars either.

Ah, yes it was mate. This was the 1700s, think about this.
The US may as well have been Mars to a Brit trooper back then. They had no idea of climate, topography, wildlife (imagine the reaction to bears or big cats for example) or the vast distances involved. There was this huge escalation of forces and most of the noobs came direct from England. Even more importantly so did the officers commanding them. Trust me, it may as well have been Mars.

Also , DHS now covers so many branches. We did a facility for them in the desert. They house detainees for CBP which is also now part of DHS. Better known as the Border Patrol.

Interesting. It has always been my understanding that the soldiers deployed here by GB were mostly veterans, with experience in North America. They had troops fighting the French (and various rebellions) in Canada. Im sure there would have been some rookies, but most of the Officers and Cadre should have been seasoned, no? I will do some research on this.

Bears would have been an issue...Big Cats would have been more of a problem in India. Gators once they got down south.... :)

You arguing with me? I think your arguing with me. You all are! I can feel your eyes, expert eyes even. Watching me as you argue with me. I think your after my pubic hair collection. I don't trust any of you. Your all trying to start WWIII and blame me for starting it.

Oh never mind that wasn't me it was the other paranoid guy, sorry carry on....

It doesn't matter, how good US Army is equipped - I don't think our soldiers would shoot american people, ever. If the shit will hit the fan - it wouldn't be anything, like Waco with psycho Koresh inside.

I don't think that there would be any type of rebellion to begin with, at best another Waco.

But if something happens, no one is just going to sit back and let a bunch of psychos commit treason.

The fact that you mention us military turning guns on Americans should tell you it's possible. And if you ask around the world the us is known for shoot first ask questions later. And friendly fire is considered something that just happens. So I do think the military would turn arms on its own citizens if ordered to do so. They have fired on there own troops in the past under order. I was in l.a. during the Rodney King riots the national guard were announcing from loud speakers to get off the street before sundown as there was a curfew in affect. Anyone on the street after curfew would be fired upon.

Dave, I was in L.A. during this riot, and I lived in Park LaBrea, the place, full of rich koreans, who's businesses were burned at the corner of Western and Santa Monica. We spent a few nights on the roofs of these buildings, FULLY ARMED, and nobody, ever asked us to go home.
And no, I don't think our soldiers would shoot in the crowd of civilians. They perfectly understand, that another soldier could aim his machine gun at his mother or father or brother or friend. Such an order won't fly.

Yeah the U.S. military would never fire on its own citizens. Ridiculous to think such a thing could happen.

50 years ago?

President Obama famously said, during the gun control debate of 2012, that, “AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of America.†Yet it is his administration that’s putting weapons of war on the streets of America via local police departments. By arming police and training police in the hardware and tactics of military warfare, the Obama administrations is doing an end-run around Posse Comitatus and effectively putting wartime troops on the streets of America.
As part of all this, federal law enforcement have been training with so-called “no hesitation targets†that train them to instinctively shoot pregnant women, children, young moms and old men. These targets — whose existence was first denied, and then downplayed when the denials didn’t work — offer irrefutable proof that the corrupt, criminal government currently running the USA is actively planning to engage women, children and senior citizens with weapons of war.
This is, of course, on top of the long-confirmed two billion rounds of ammunition the Department of Homeland Security has ordered (and partially acquired) in an attempt to stockpile enough ammunition for a twenty-year war with the American people. Once again, this stockpiling of hollow-point ammo by DHS was first denied, then downplayed, and now has been called a “conspiracy theory†even thought it is confirmed by the federal government iself which says it needs the ammo for “training purposes.â€
