In a normal circumstance, I would be seriously bothered, but I think the possibility of Obama using the military against the People is high, so I am not that upset.

Still, I am sure he will reshape the military to focus on domestic discontent.

"Still, I am sure he will reshape the military to focus on domestic discontent."

In the back of my mind, this is what I think the purpose is. Not so much the military as the instrument, but to remove a potential obstacle when the Leftists "make their move".

I think he knows the people who joined the military would balk, but the ATF and DHS would be all in. That is why I think he wants to downsize the military including the National Guard.
