    indeed, in 1921 leftover explosives and chemical weapons from WW1 were dropped on striking miners in West Virginia and the very first purpose-built bomber planes purchased by the US military were deployed there by President Harding.

    the president has indeed deployed military assets to extrajudicially murder Americans in America, but it has always been against the working class.

    to use the military against the bourgeoisie would be certainly regarded in the bourgeoisie media frame as somehow a "crime", in the same way that Hitler doing genocide in Europe was regarded some new depravity even though it was essentially what Churchill had done to India, the US/Canada/Aus did to their indigenous, Northern Europe had done to West Africa for centuries and regarded themselves as great, civilizing nations.
