I just cant see how we can rise up with the “mix” of nationalities that are in our country without the military with us. It would be a huge slug fest and difficult to tell who is for or against..... Any nation that has their military with them ‘always’ wins the fight when opposing Government.
Look at Donestk in Ukraine....(though haven't checked today to see how that has gone)...but when the Kiev Gov. sent their special forces there, they joined the protesters and refused to follow orders. Kiev's response, as this began to happen in other communities, was to make it legal for referendums, prior illegal....basically folding to those communities in the east who want to secede from the Kiev Government and go on their own. The Kiev Gov. recognized if those forces wouldn't follow orders then they were loosing control of the country overall.
One thing about watching SiSi and also Putin...(which our military leaders are closely observing their tactics and very interesting seeing how they view their tactics))....is no matter what your opinion of these men is they are leaders and love their country. I don't see that at all in our Administration.....I miss Reagan so very much!!!!!!
