You are not going to take on a platoon of Marines with state-of-the-art automatic weapons...

No, but those Marines took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and most of them are smart enough to know when their orders countervene the Constitution - don't tell the leftists.

“No, but those Marines took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and most of them are smart enough to know when their orders countervene the Constitution - don’t tell the leftists.”

I might add that there are a huge number of us that may not be falling in for formation each morning, but we’re still here and still honor our Oath of Enlistment. Just because we are no longer “active” does not mean that we have forgotten what we trained for.

“A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there’s no such thing as a former Marine. You’re a Marine, just in a different uniform and you’re in a different phase of your life. But you’ll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. There’s no such thing as a former Marine.

General James F. Amos, 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps”

“There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion.
Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army”

“Freedom is not free, but the U.S. Marine Corps will pay most of your share.
Ned Dolan”

SEMPER FI

Don't bet on it. It sounds like they are slowly purging anyone in the military who respects the Constitution, doesn't celebrate gay sex and/or speaks ill of Dear Leader

True, however with the continuous purge of high ranking officers, being replaced with useful idiots, it won’t be long before those idiots are replaced with hardcore ideologues who will purge their ranks.
