There are lots of non-lethal crowd control options.
That's true - but the hypothetical has them "storming" the base. Not sure if "crowd control" procedures would work in that situation.

This. 1000x this. And they would use them long before the facebooker posse got even close.
Let's hope it never happens. In the meantime....Ill be in Florida on that date, so I won’t be storming anything other than Galaxy’s Edge at the butt crack of dawn
I doubt they would have to, but I do believe they would open fire, at first warning shots, then proceed to fire into any crowd that continues to advance forward.So you believe the soldiers would open fire and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans? I doubt they would. Killing 500,000 would exceed the death toll of Americans during the entire of world war 2.
Even if they only get 5,000 people storming the gate that’s a lot. Regardless of how many show up, to many it is a legitimate event and believe in many of the conspiracy theories.
I forecast the use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and other non lethal means.
Not to mention F-15s. Most people have absolutely no conception of what it feels like to have a fighter plane streak by at Mach 1 about 50 feet over your head, let alone multiple squadrons of them. At that height, the wake turbulence can knock grown men off their feet, and the sound can knock out your hearing for awhile.
More likely crowd control tear gas or pepper spray. I've heard of places where it was deployed, and it was like spraying a fire hose with an irritant.How can they shoot 500,000 people? They don't even have that many bullets.
The Air Force is the one branch you absolutely do not want to mess with. They have the drones.
