If Trump’s Rage Brings ‘Civil War,’ Where Will the Military Stand?

The standing army is a nothing burger in a real cavil war scenario. It is just too small to make a difference.

The army is set up as a mobile voluntary mercenary force design to interdict globally. It is not a large long haul fighting force.

That’s for sure. Ironically, a couple of weeks ago my husband and I both commented on his extreme red face while he was ranting at a campaign rally. He looked so rage filled we both said that is a heart attack waiting to happen. Another one who is out of control is Elizabeth Warren, her eyes look insane when she speaks.

Wasn’t Trump “rage” that brought this on, it was the criminal malpractice of the Democrat House Leadership?

Any member of the military who stands with this cabal conducting a secret “trial” without allowing the accused to defend themselves is violating their oath to the US Constitution.

So real questions is who are you going to stand with? The US Constitution or the Democrat Fascist Party?

[Terry L Smith]

Yes, at the most. Dishonorable discharge and jail at the least.

They meant to say “if liberal stupidity” brings civil war...

Look at the lessons of American History: The first time this happened was in 1861 and the military officer corps split directly along state lines that dealt directly with ideology. I suspect that we’re history to repeat, there would be a similar split.

Don’t forget that the majority of the military combat clout rests currently in the state national guards. During Civil War #1 the lack of technology kept ideology limited to local culture. That kept things simple. In the 21st century, with a civilian population extremely mobile, it probably won’t be quite so clear cut.

However, the spine of the war fighting capabilities are always found in the enlisted and noncommissioned officers has historically remained fairly stable and culturally rooted in an originalist view of the Constitution.

It won’t be Trump’s rage that brings a civil war. What cause civil war is the oppressive, greedy, power-hungry Washington elite trying to crush the individual rights of liberty loving Americans. Trump has simply allowed loosened the chains of such Americans.
