You notice that the Marines sitting there getting shot at didn't have any problem at all with hosing the "mot**r fuc**rs"  once they had a clear order ?

Even though that is a movie, the fact is similar:

Go back to VietNam and talk to those who were there.  Even those that struggled with everything will opening tell you that when you are receiving inbound or dodging booby traps, you don't care man, woman or child - Kill 'em all, and let God sort them out!  That isn't just a neat t-shirt slogan, that is what they survived on over there!

Our fighters follow orders and do what needs to be done.  That is why it is always so difficult when they are ordered to stand down, and it creates issues when the disobey orders to do what is right.

True, up to a point. The American warfighter is taught to think, to adapt, and to improvise as well as follow orders. When the orders are contradicted by the situation, the boots on the ground used to have the ability to override the orders. With this admin, they have adopted a more Soviet-bloc mindset (who's really surprised here?) of command from the top and no deviation. Even Generals and Admirals get arrested here - now.

Many years ago, back in the late 60's or early 70's I read a news story about a group of American protestors who filled the 'playing field' of a bull ring in Mexico.  I assumed at the time they were there to protest the Viet Nam as that was more central in my life, even though I wondered why they were in Mexico.  Later I figured it was the bull fight itself they were protesting.

The authorities ordered them to leave and they refused with the usual signs of solidarity, holding hands and arms and chanting about their determination to not yield.

The Mexican authorities who, it appears, were less tolerant of American protestors than we are here, opened fire on the crowd.  The protestor's resolve dissolved and then ran for the exits in terror.

I've not been able to find any reference of this event on the internet, but then Al Gore's invention wasn't publicly available a that time.

If anyone can confirm that event, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Sounds familiar, IIRC the French shot up at least on or 2 protests in the 60's as well.
I remember My Dad saying they should do the same thing to those "Hippy faggot's" in DC as well.
