I can tell you for a fact that the majority of YOUR troops if told that American civilians were the "enemy" and you ordered those troops to fire, they would not only refuse the order, but take YOU into custody. In fact YOU might get shot by your own troops for giving such an unlawful order. How's that for reprecussions?
