Interesting. Especially since all my retired military associates and the vast majority of active duty military I know thinks the world of Trump and loathes the Democrat party.

The media seems to forget that we military swore to protect and defend the constitution (something our media evidently cannot get through), not protect a political party.

So, let’s hold off on that coup until after the media/Democrat complex cheats their way into their next try at a socialist country.

Then, we’ll see.

In the military, I would say it is about 70/30 Trump, maybe even 80/20 in the enlisted ranks. I think that goes down quite significantly in the officer ranks since it becomes much more of a political game.

What does concern me though, is that if the orders are given, no matter how egregious or anti-constitutional; how many will follow? If one looks at law enforcement as a sample, and their willingness to exercise their authority beyond what is allowed; there is quite the willingness to just follow blindly, or even feel a superiority to the laws they are supposed to uphold. Unfortunately, most people are sheep, and will just follow orders if they come from an authority figure.
