You really think the military would obey?

I am an Air Force Academy grad, class of 1973.

Back then it was pounded into our heads that the military would NEVER be used against our own people.

But that was then and this is now.

Back then the military would NEVER have been practicing on American soil to put down an American insurgency. Would NEVER have been practicing covert tactics to take out high value American targets at night on American soil. Jade Helm and similar exercises did ALL of that.

Under Obama HUNDREDS of officers have been removed, most for bogus reasons. The REAL reason was suspicion that they might NOT follow orders if given questionable orders from Obama.

So... What about the officers that are left? Some of them (but not all) would follow orders to impose martial law. Obama knows who they are, and they are the ones who would receive those orders.

The REAL questions are how many of the soldiers under their command would also follow those orders, and would the troops who were ordered to simply stand down rise up against them.

Final comment: It would not take a lot of them at first. Only enough to secure Washington DC. Once the situation seemed stable they would expand from there. Few people would risk standing against what seemed to be a fait accompli.

Do I think this will actually happen? I hope not, but history is full of despots who have done exactly this in order to take dictatorial control of their country. Obama will certainly try if he thinks he can pull it off.

In an EMP-type situation it would be chaos, and the military (whose command center in Colorado - which they just moved back into not too long ago - is built into a mountain that is naturally hardened against the effects of an EMP) would easily see it as a service to fire on panicking American citizens. They’ve seen what happened in the mini-outbursts of rioting and criminality associated with the BLM crap.

Everything Obama’s done has brought us to a point where our enemies have the nuke it takes to attack us as they’ve said they would when they have the nuke to do it, and we have no southern radar defense to detect an attack and thwart it. The big bunker under the White House is ready to go, and Obama’s going to be out of the US in November and December. He doesn’t seem too worried about either Trump or Cruz winning, or Hillary possibly being in jail by election time, or Bernie Sanders being crazy. It’s almost as if he knows the election will be moot.

There’s a bunch more that should be considered as well - such as Janet Napolitano’s statements, FEMA buying patterns, the commmunist and Islamist connections Obama’s had his whole life long, a speech by Ghadaffi saying that foreign Muslims got Obama elected, etc. I think everybody feels in their gut that there is a cataclysmic event coming, and all Obama’s actions arming, training, funding, excusing, and importing our enemies has been working towards a climactic end, and I suspect it’ll be an EMP attack. God knows we’re vulnerable, and our now-armed enemies are fanatical enough to do it and have already practiced the delivery system for an EMP attack...

You have said what I think. I hope it would never happen. I trust the integrity of our military to do the right thing. But,as you say, things happen.
