The Martial Law possibility should have popped into the head of every Freeper two weeks ago. If it didn’t, they’re not paying attention.

Is Obama Creating a Martial-Law-Ready Military?
What kind of leader wants a military more loyal to himself than to the rule of law?
And why?
These are two questions to ponder when considering the strange happenings in the armed forces since Barack Obama took office.
Lets start with a hypothetical. Lets say you were a hard-left-wing commander in chief who wanted the military firmly in your corner. Youd certainly note that our armed forces have been a bastion of conservatism and Christian faith, and youd know that its members generally werent very fond of you. So how would you go about changing this?
Some years ago I met a very young, all-American looking white fellow who had just exited the military. His reason was that he hadnt been advanced the way he believed he should have been, and he wasnt going to remain in the armed forces if it provided no future. Now, one interpretation here is that he was a millennial with an inflated opinion of himself (he didnt strike me that way, though). Yet there is another interpretation.
The Obama administration has given affirmative action in the military a dose of steroids, promoting minorities and women and, I believe, homosexuals and lesbians at the expense of white men. By the way, is this yet another reason why Obama wanted homosexuals to be able to serve openly? After all, you cant target them for special treatment if you dont know who they are.
But the point is this: if I were that hypothetical hard-left-wing leader, Id know that one way to change the militarys political climate is the same way you do it in the nation at large.
Demographic manipulation.
White men generally vote Republican, white military men even more so, and white military men who are practicing Christians, well, thats a recipe for a left-behind left. Minorities, women, atheists and the LGBT* crowd, however, are reliable liberal constituencies. So what would I do if I were that hard leftist?
Id create a military climate friendly toward groups that are my constituencies and hostile toward those that arent.
