the fact remains that in our 224 years as a country the US Military has never fired on any of it's citizens.

WWI vets who marched on Washington to get their overdue benefits were fired upon. I believe Captain Douglas MacArthur led the charge. That bugs me, otherwise he's one of my favorite generals.

Students at Kent St. U in Ohio were killed by guardsmen in 1968.

Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Just off the top of my head. There's probably other instances.
