Now you’re splitting hairs. A government ordered death is the same no matter if the shooter is a soldier or a national guardsman.

  This is a big difference. State national guards operate a lot more like the state police than like the army. Posse Comitatus does not apply to them. By the way, if you want to split hairs and bring up examples like Kent State, the elephant in the room is the self-defense justification in a lot of these examples. Find a killing that occurred when a soldier believed their life to be in danger.

    How about Sherman's March to the Sea?

    I wonder if you realize you are rationalizing Kent State the exact same way some Chinese rationalize Tienanmen.
