Specifically by the military, are there any incidents of state-sponsored domestic terrorism in the U.S.?

I'm not a U.S.-hating military-hating individual, I'm just doing research on domestic terrorism, and while I can find some subjective, well-hidden examples of terrorism by the FBI and its counterparts, I was curious as to whether military action has ever occurred.
In fact, the only documented source is the Ludlow massacre in 1914, but there is some controversy as whether the Waco standoff could be included.
Just a little info for you ignorant people...

US terrorism inside it's own boundaries on US citizens will be very poorly documented. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. It means that the government will have done a good job at covering its tracks and a better job of pinning the rap on somebody else. Outside the USA, the documentation may be more reliable, but it will not be in English and will be refuted as biased and unreliable when presented. If you are trying to prove any such acts, then good luck and be aware of who is following you and parked outside your residence.

No, missy...but that does not mean that you cannot make some up.
Addition: perhaps you can share your working definition of terrorism...WACO was not terrorism...just botched incompetent policy and policing.

By our military? It saddens me that you would even consider such a thing. NO ! Your military protects you, often in ways you never know about. The kind of people who spout that garbage sicken me.

Certainly not. The US military would never consider something like that..anywhere.

No. But this lack of evidence has not done anything to stop those with political agendas.
