I’d just like to point out that Obama is also a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, if anyone thinks such an award goes to credibility.
This situation has been around for years, with public fear that the military would overthrow the government orturn against the people.
The movie Seven Days in May (1964) pushed this idea hard on behalf of the Kennedys and with their support, that the “right wing military leadership” would be willing to overthrow the US to prevent nuclear disarmament by a liberal president. A blatant political dig at mostly senator Goldwater.
You’ll note the difference, however. The Democrats fear that the military will overthrow the *government*.
Conservatives fear that the military will *obey* the government, and turn on the people.
With W. Bush trashing the Posse Comitatus Act as well as constitutional protections of the people, from the government using the military to attack them, the conservative fear is more grounded in fact.
