How many other military people where in that crowd when that guy stood up... but didn't have the balls to do it.

Power to Moore for taking on the burden of that bronze star.

From wikipedia:

"Legal action against the guardsmen

Eight of the guardsmen were indicted by a grand jury. The guardsmen claimed to have fired in self-defense, which was generally accepted by the criminal justice system. In 1974 U.S. District Judge Frank Battisti dismissed charges against all eight on the basis that the prosecution's case was too weak to warrant a trial.[13]

In May 2007, Alan Canfora, one of the injured protestors, demanded that the case be reopened, having found an audiotape in a Yale University government archive allegedly recording an order to fire ("Right here! Get Set! Point! Fire!") just before the 13 second volley of shots.[15]

Canfora has been on a crusade since discovering the tape, hoping to get authorities to reopen the case and use new technology to perform voice analysis. Larry Shafer, a guardsman who said he fired during the shootings and was one of those charged told the Kent-Ravenna Record Courier newspaper in May 2007:" I never heard any command to fire. That's all I can say on that," Shafer, a Ravenna city councilman and former fire chief, told the newspaper. "That's not to say there may not have been, but with all the racket and noise, I don't know how anyone could have heard anything that day." Shafer also when on to say that "point" would not have been part of a proper command." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings

Just to even the spin out, oh wait... not a single guardsmen was killed.

The threat of force does not always work, and it can make a bad situation much, much worse.

Which is why you should tell your CO or XO to stick it up his ass.
