The "Combat Arms Survey" was designed to probe "attitudes of combat trained persons with regards to nontraditional missions."

The questionnaire has 39 questions about attitudes, attitudes of political bias. Some questions include, "Do you feel that U.S. combat troops should be used within the United States for any of the following missions, drug enforcement, disaster relief, security at national sports events, environmental disaster cleanup, substitute teachers in public school, community assistance (road repair, animal control, etc.), prison guards and national emergency police force.

Next there is a set of questions asking, "Do you feel that U.S. combat troops should be used in other countries for any of the following United Nations missions? After listing most of those under the first area they included, peace keeping, nation building (reconstructing civil government, developing public transportation, etc.) and humanitarian relief.

The questions get nosier. Next they ask, "Do you feel that U.S. combat troops should be used in other countries under command of non-U.S. officers?" "Do you agree/disagree with this series of statements: U.S. combat troops should serve under U.N. command and control, U.S. combat troops should participate in U.N. missions under U.N. command and control, U.S. combat troops should be commanded by U.N. officers at Battalian and company levels while performing U.N. missions, I feel the U.S. President has the authority to pass his responsibilities as Commander in Chief to the U.N. Secretary General. I feel a designated unit of U.S. combat soldiers should be permanently assigned to the command and control of the U.N., I would fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the U.S. Government."

(Questionnaire given to troops U.S. Marines, Twenty-Nine Palms, California, May 1994.)

It sounds like someone is gearing up for another "Gestapo-like" preparedness to use our U.S. military as global military and national police. Our combat troops are American citizens too, and for them to be forced against those upholding their second amendment right to own and bear firearms should cause a military revolt from the highest levels down!
