Keep in mind that IF forces in the US ever turned on the citizens, they have families HERE, and they need to put their heads on a pillow each night.
When forces go overseas, their family is safe thousands of miles away. That would not be the case here.
War is hell; they had better do the calculations before they tread on the citizens.
this is why so many foreign troops are here - obama’s going to use them, estimated at 400,000 or so. probably stick them in us uniforms and they’ll know limited english, enough to do whatever they have to do.
Add to that there a lot more former military than active duty. And a lot of them are armed and remember their training.
What is the expression, “Not as lean, but still a Marine”?
