There is no question; U.S. troops shot innocent students at Kent State. Who would think troops would not go into combat against the populace?
Those "innocent" students at Kent State had been rioting, vandalizing and destroying shit for 2 days. They were throwing bags of shit, rocks and tear gas canisters back at those troops.
Was shooting back warranted? Probably not, but no one was ever convicted and it was plausible the soldiers were in fear of serious harm or death.
Most troops I know would not go into combat against our own people, unless it was a leftist insurgency.
