Keep in mind that while some soldiers would hesitate when ordered to fire on Americans, the majority probably would not. It would not come down to a matter of conscience, but a matter of conditioning. You can bet that the troops would be thoroughly "briefed" beforehand and most would believe that they were doing their patriotic duty.
I have thought all along that 0bama is setting himself up to be dictator. 0bama's move to purge the Generals that would put The Constitution first is a step to ensure that he would not encounter any opposition when he makes his move, and I certainly don't expect congress to do anything. The courts, all the way up to the SCOTUS are in his pocket, so he is just a couple of moves away.
Look how hard it has been in Iraq and Afghanistan dealing with at most 25,000 insurgents. Russia threw up it’s hands and withdrew from Afghanistan.
I would hope that America could field quite a few more if it comes to it. I certainly wouldn’t want to continue to live in a country that has slipped into an authoritarian dictatorship, nor would many others. Once they step over that line, there’s nothing much left to lose.
Obama was elected TWICE. The danger of a democracy, or even a democratic republic, is that the low information voter will get used to voting himself some of your money. Look around at every other democracy, it has happened everywhere.
Sure. They're all just unthinking robots, programmed by Obama. When the order comes, it won't matter to most soldiers that they're going to fire on their neighbors and kin. Nope. Not even a blink.
Their oaths to the Constitution? Don't be silly. The Emperor hath commanded them to slay you, Yankee scum. Now you must die.
Yeah. Just like that.
Most thankfully would turn against Obama, for this I am CONFIDENT.
Thank you for your (lack of) support and faith in our service members. You obviously believe that the majority of them are mindless, ignorant, “conditioned” (brainwashed) and robotic; that they swear allegiance to the president and their senior leadership. They swear allegiance to the Constitution and to follow the LAWFUL orders of those appointed above them.
