3rd infantry deployed in US...lets use some common sense

response to a declaration of martial law. If little king george declared himself dictator, the American people would not be to happy. They would rise up in arms and they own lots of guns. Plus I believe there are a lot of policemen and military people who would NOT follow his instructions!

I have a friend in the marines and he is fully prepared to deploy on US soil if ordered to do so. Fully prepared to do sweeps for weapons and take out any threats. His view on the constitution after being in the marines for 10 years now, is that it's an old document written for a different time. He did not have this belief prior to joining. So I would imagine that he is not the only one who will go ahead and follow the orders he's given.

Once again, it would be almost physically impossible for this government to impose martial law on a wide scale. The very act of such a declaration would also instantly cause a vast division, not only in the population, but also in the military and law enforcement. Additionally, it would be such a massive burden on the economic system of this country that most commerce would shut down, causing even more stress and political unrest, so much so that this government would not be able to contain it on the scale needed to suppress such unrest.

Yes, they are idiots up there in Washington, but surely they are not that stupid and martial law would be a very stupid move on their part.

I think however, we would be surprised at the response of the People, with high percentages of the population already angry with Congress and the Bush Administration, there is a likelihood that there would be far more unrest than we might think.

Think about it for a minute....since 9/11, just a strange looking package can shut down city blocks, or an entire air port or train station or large business complex or an interstate. The response of this government is one of not irrationality, but of complete incompetence, they can't even secure the border or our ports. Martial Law would be a completely logistical nightmare for the government to execute in a manner that would sufficiently suppress unrest or potential threats real or imagined.

Hypothetically speaking, of course, it would not take much to cause absolute havoc in layers of systems throughout this country, it is extremely vulnerable even if the government grounded a massive show of force.

Look at the examples of what has happened over the last few years when a strange package is seen in a particular location. In fact, there was one case where an advertising company put several small electronic components along a highway, some concerned citizen called it in and low and behold the entire stretch of the highway was shut down for hours until they realized it was nothing more than an advertising stunt for an electronics company.

There are holes, hundreds of thousands of holes in the security net of this country and if the government actually did impose Martial Law they would have the biggest quagmire on their hands that they ever imagined. It would be the biggest mistake, the biggest disaster for them that they could ever make.

The great thing about a massive bureaucracy is that it is lumbering, extremely inefficient and disorganized throughout its massive layers of operations, add a massive economic collapse on top of all that and you have a perfect example of a dysfunctional system. It would not take much to put the entire system in disarray, all it takes is a little creativity on the part of the People. In such bumbling bureaucracies the right hand rarely knows what the left hand is doing, and vice-versa, that along with the massive amounts of procedures, paper-work, commands and counter-commands make for a vast wasteland of inefficiency, broad holes in functionalities and enormous room for contradictions and inactivity. Such a system is ripe for misdirection and counteroffensive action.

Yes, there have been a huge amount of indoctrination over the years, but even at that, there is still a strong sense of loyalty to the Constitution, not only in the military, but also in law enforcement. After all, remember who got the most donations from the military during the primaries.

Martial law is the suspension of Constitutional Civil Law with Martial or Military Law, with Military Tribunals instead of civil courts. The presence of the military on the streets is not necessarily a sign that Martial Law has been imposed, when the Writ of Habeas Corpus is suspended and the first Military Tribunal is held then you have Martial Law.

but so am i, so when they don't order crap it shows, but use common sense with stuff like this. Obviously ask if there is a shortage of food, do not just assume!
Poor management has a lot to do with food not being ordered, but I am saying use common sense, if there is no items to purchase for food, come on, is it because management forgot to order fries?
Some of you guys are seriously pessimistic, look at you guys, with all the what ifs!?!?!
Prepare, don't instigate.

The grape vine is a powerful thing, They might disarm a few small locations but as soon as they move in and disarm a large cities populance its over for them the disamring will stop there.

That will start bloody revolution faster than anything else. A part of me hopes they are foolish enough to try that because sadly it seems most people are so asleep that they need the burning frying pan to the cheek that that would be as their wake up call.

If it were to happen it would go through the grape vine like a lightning bolt and HUGE milities would form over night in many many cities. They do not have the logistical ability to launch such an attack, they would only try in despiration as a last ditch effort. They have think tanks that are possed with this very situation and they all tell them the same thing, it can not be done. Open mility conflict on US soil against its people is impossible without an army of equal size. No foreign army but chinas would be up to the task and they could never get to our shores in such numbers. They lose in the sprint in every senerio, thats why they are in the long run gradually building a base lying, cheating, stealing. Trying to slip in under the radar. They are in the lions den, if they wake the beast its over.

Lets hope they are so ignorant and over confident that they try something so foolish. The sooner we force them to show their hand the better it will be for us.

Some DA with balls needs to serve papers and arrest Bush that would start the ball rolling I think.
