Has anyone else heard this?

[koshergrl]

In the last 5 years the military has done the exact opposite of what you are suggesting KG, standards have risen, significantly.

So we'll see. I think there will be some sweeping changes..but maybe not. Maybe they'll look different.

Rye catcher and TDM call bullshit. That, to me is proof of the OP.

because your as dumb as box of rocks

 

[AmyNation]

No, I haven't and considering I have very close family members and friends who are ADM, I suspect I would have heard something.

thanks army nation. have any of them reupped during that period?

In the last 2 years I have 2 nephews who have signed up, one marine, one army, if they had been asked anything like that, id know. My husband is in the army and works with incoming/outgoing soliders on a day to day basis. I read him your OP and asked if he'd heard anything like it and he looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

I've done over 3000 reenlistments during the last 14 years.

This stuff simply isn't happening.

My son and i talked about this a few months ago. He's 10 yrs in the Army, now with Spec. Ops....he said it'll never happen. Not the way Obama would want it to. Ya, you'll get some of the military to go along with it, but not enough. He believes the majority would be fighting FOR the US citizens and against the govt, no matter what our govt told them to do. I'll have to ask him if he's ever been asked that question....

So what is it you believe Obama wants the military to do?

I don't know....we just started talking about it one day. I did just text him though and asked him if he was ever asked that question. We'll see............

where is ANY proof of your claim that Obama plans to have the military fire on citizens?

I didn't say he did!!! I said we just talked about it one day....stop getting all bent out of shape over something that wasn't even said you moron!

There have already been some sweeping changes.

When my sister enlisted, they were desperate for soldiers and pretty much had a turn no one away, we'll make it work, policy. Now? I've seen soldiers chaptered out for the smallest of infractions, the test scores required have been raised and the overall standards have been raised. If you've got too many tattoos, too many kids, too poor eyesight, don't even bother trying out.

Ok....i just got a text back from my son, i asked him if he'd ever been asked that. He said NO, and nobody else he knows of has been asked that. He said he has heard that crap before, but it's just a bunch of conspiracy and nothing else (and told me to stay off those messageboards!!!! Lol!).

Thanks for being honest.

It's pretty low to do what the OP did. Make it out that some members of the military are dishonorable.

but i'm also sure if that really is your position, it's something you are free to talk about right?

 

[koshergrl]

Cuz we all know how honest recruiters are, lol.

the only troops that will turn on American citizens are the minorities.

Lol! I just posted the response my son gave me when i just texted him to see if he'd heard it....he told me i'm crazy!! I told him it wasn't that i believed what was being said, that's why i asked him to verify it. And no....he hasn't been asked and nobody else he knows of has been either. I can't stand Obama, but i won't claim he's doing something that i know he's not. Or at least not yet .....

I do believe there are SOME members of the military that would be dishonorable. My son even said that IF anything like this actually happened, you would find some rogue soldiers that would go along with it, but the majority would not.

Once upon a time, in the world of right wing nutters, lived an oracle, a Morton M. Miller.

"Mr. Morton M Miller, one of the charter members of the Cryogenic Society said at a meeting in Deluth las night, Few people realize at present that cryogenic preservation and eventual restoration is a real alternative to bodily death. No one has ever conclusively demonstrated that the maintenance of a body at a low temperatures and its eventual restoration to normal functioning is an impossibility. Scientific evidence is on our side, and the gibes of scoffers we can afford to dismiss as the brayings of uninformed asses.

Thus an example taken and paraphrased from and old Text Book (The Way of Words, an informal logic) aptly defines this tread as an appeal to Ignorance.

no Ravi I asked a question and stated what I have been told by 3 separate individuals in the last 6 months. The 3rd one being a fairly high ranking officer who was asked if he would be willing to order his troops to fire on US citizens in the need arose. I sked the question had anyone else hear this or was there anyone currently serving who had come across it.

Either you're lying or he is.
