Well, you see, those people that the American military murders on a regular basis are brown people in a faraway country, so they don't count or something.
As with most things, people don't care until it personally affects them or people they personally know.
The racism subject aside, I DO think a the majority of them are gonna give big wtf's when they're told to do that to American citizens on American soil, regardless of skin color. There will be some who enjoy it because they're scum, but I definitely know that even the craziest motherfuckers with the most PTSD who enlisted in several branches would tell you to go fuck yourself if you deployed them to New York and said beat the shit out of or shoot these civilians. They may be dumb as fuck, but they aren't all that stupid. And yes I know this is naive and optimistic.
