il.trapper OP trapper I Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 2,269 West Central Illinois	Just finished watching a movie from 1995. It is about some soldiers of the 12th Calvary who saved 300-400 horses that were to be slaughtered. The beginning scene is from a real incident that took place in 1932 I believe. Real good movie overall. "Pursuit of Honor" Anyway I hear the question all the time asking about will our military today actually fight the citizens of their own country if they are told to. This movie brings that to bear. Throughout the movie there are some in the military who seem to think it is an honor to fight their own people. Others not so much. Some flatly refuse. I have never been in the military. Don't know what to think really. I am told by some in the military, past and present, that basically the same thing will, or would, happen today. Some will fight or even kill American citizens, some may or may not, and some will flat out refuse to do so. I just hope and pray it is the majority that flatly refuses. I guess this would pertain to the LE officers also.

And according to the Constitution the Military is not supposed to Fire on or attack American Citizens but Logan County WV proved that they will and DO!! During the Mine wars the President sent a Rail Car with two Flat Cars with Gatling Guns and they Machine Gunned the whole town. Only the Women and Children were home. The men were all off Fighting. So they Dynamited a Trestle ahead of the Rail Road and when the Locomotive went ahead to the blasted Trestle they Blasted the one behind it. Then waited them out and took no Prisoners. That is how we became Unionized and started getting away from Company Stores Housing and scripts. They actually have many books of it. God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.
