So when US soldiers start attacking US citizens, where exactly does their allegiance lie?

Or are they merely mercenaries?

This is one of the problems I have with perpetual war. You’ve got to get off the war footing every so often so they can just be Americans for a while.

My son is in the Army, I can guarentee you that he stands with “the people” as per the Constitution as per his oath. I’ll have to ask him what he thinks the majority of his brother soldiers would do, though.

If the trend continues, by 2016 the military will be largely populated by balkanized enclaves of ‘victim groups’ more intent on ‘getting back at their oppressors’ than on defending their country....

That’s easy.

They won’t attack their own.

“So when US soldiers start attacking US citizens, where exactly does their allegiance lie?”

My Great greatg great great grandfather asked in 1775:
“So When the British soldiers start attacking British citizens, where exactly does their allegiance lie?”

The answer then and now is, their allegiance is to the King. Or President or what ever he calls himself.

Notice that in the past, the government used FBI agents to crack down on citizens rather than the Military?
