You have no clue. Our military is pathetically small for controlling our population by force. Structurally it would be sitting on top of its own logistical tail. Bases are almost completely unsecured, and many of the soldiers and their families live out in town.
Our military has been bogged down in an area roughly the size of Texas in the Middle East for two decades with no end in sight.
Then for extra fun, the military would have to spend an amazing amount of time deciding the loyalties of people in the military. The majority come from States the communist government would want to suppress. How’s that going to work out for you?
Then a million other things start to happen, a base commander gets a photograph of his kids walking into school. An Apache helicopter shoots up a military Convoy. The sabotaged wreckage of the machine is found abandoned on a country road, the pilots are long gone. A drone pilot in post-coital Bliss in a Las Vegas hotel room gets a Bullet to the Head from the woman he was just met in the bar and had fun with. He never knew her father and brother were killed by a Hellfire missile in a drone strike 6 months ago. Workers arriving at the Raytheon plant making Hellfire missiles are horrified to find 6 Engineers hanging from an overpass. A gigantic security Force must be deployed to the plant. Nobody is willing to drive a fuel truck.
That’s the kind of thing that has gone on in every Insurgency I’ve ever heard of. The military would have almost no chance of controlling the American people. Thankfully they’re not intended, nor structured to do so.
Thank you!
I've been explaining that in detail to Freepers for the last decade!
