Most everyone here has seen the ABC World News confiscation video from NO. At the end
a young guardsman says, "You dont wanna think about the stuff your gonna have to do
if someone pops around a corner."

The reporter responds, "You mean shoot a American."

He the young Guardsman replys, "Yeah."

What do you think the young guardsman meant when he said "pops around a corner" ?

I hope he realizes that he is the enemy today and his death would be a victory for America.
