  • People that comment about the civilians of Venezuela aren’t taking into account the psychology of those you know versus those you don’t. Firing on American civilians is going to be very different mind game, even for soldiers trained to kill. Being on home turf and having to actually destroy your own infrastructure and kill people you know have a culture the same as yours is different even if there are political differences. Hearing fellow soldiers screaming and crying for mom or help after being shot is a mind fuck in war, but then hearing civilians do it? Knowing you will go home and face people there that question whether you did it and then their treatment of you afterward is going to be a factor. Most are not career military…

    There will be those that do it, but I’m willing to put money on more soldiers that second guess, hesitate, or purposely miss if ordered to fire.
