So by shooting him this would change the government? I don't understand how a situation would come about where I'd have to shoot a soldier if he was already angry with the government. After all wouldn't he be on my side then?
Geez. I try to be ornate and then I get reminded as to why I am no writer.
No; the soldier is corrupted by the government. In essence, the American military, that comprises our neighbors (Americans), is turned against you by the government.
Would you shoot the child then?

Ok, so you are the enforcer of the constitution.
What if there were a constitutional convention . . .and you know how hard that is; would you cease it? Just an irrelevant side question.
Ibid. wrote:I guess I don't fully see the point of the question, if you rephrase it or clear up my confusion ill be happy to answer your questions
Ok, well the first question was what the Government CAN do; that is, reappoint the military to its own corrupt will.
The second was what the Government does do.
The third, is what the Government of past WOULD have done . . . basically, a mercenary military by a tyrannical government, would you fight it?
I suppose you would, but it is certainly a character that would go through with such a task.
I doubt I would wage war against a mercenary army . . . but I can see how sometimes good hearted people would.
Anyway, understand the question . . . I suppose these are not very relevant.
But, how about this one. Where was your gun when the Government introduced the Patriot Act?
