I saw this poll on Twitter and figure I'd share it.. Normally when I see these polls, I just keep scrolling, not really caring. But this one kinda stopped me in my tracks. Something else that made me even more uneasy, the poll currently has over 40k votes.

Spoiler alert:

The current count is 78% to 22% for 'Yes'..

I'd like to hear opinions from our resident military and ex-military on this one. How does the results of this poll make you feel? If ordered, would you?

Not trying to start any arguments or trying to be disrespectful, just genuinely curious.

The US military fired on US citizens in the Civil War.  Not just during the NY draft riots, I mean all the major battles were between US citizens.  So it has been done in the past.

You're being pedantic, Marty. That is not the thrust of the poll, at all. 

These polls are stupid because they're conducted and responded to mostly by people who have no idea how the military operates. It's nothing more than another division tactic. You would do yourself and everyone else a favor by ignoring it.
