"Even if the EOs could be changed rapidly if people learn later that all the hurt, fear, and destruction of the good Trump accomplished was allowed by the military when they had the power to stop it, how will they ever trust our military or any future government.

I think it is the other way around. It is the military who should not trust the people.

The People, present company--this thread and perhaps 75% of FR and x percent of the general population excepted-- have let down the military, voting for idiots who want perpetual wars and don't care about members of the military (and retired members who go on to serve their country in security roles) being slaughtered in Benghazi, Syria, and the like.

The People don't bother to read the Constitution and Federalist Papers, insist good teachers teach about these, go to school board meetings, county commissioner meetings, etc. and generally keep tabs on politicians. This would be a form of honoring the military.

The People don't bother to use critical thinking skills and seek out other information regarding important issues of our time, the 'rona being arguably the biggest one lately. The People don't stop and wonder how HCQ can be declared deadly by the media yet be sold over the counter in 3rd world countries for years. They don't wonder what perverse incentives exist to hike up the amplification cycle on PCR tests to 40 and pay hospitals for 'rona ICU admits and deaths.

So, if the military is involved in some sort of sting operation and is lying to the public to achieve their goal with this--if the goal is a restoration of the republic-- good for them.

The public has been lied to by many institutions- government, media, big pharm, etc.-what's one more? --Especially if there is a good point to the lie. That point being running a kind of Normandy operation while making the bad people think the invasion is taking place from the South or is not taking place at all.

I would not blame some military leaders for wanting some of the public to experience good and hard what they voted for (this would be the Biden voters) and for other voters (Trump voters, especially soft Trump voters who voted against Biden but do not really appreciate Trump) to experience the result of not demonstrating against the politicians who locked them down and lied about the 'rona.

My fervent hope is that when the revelations take place, the military puts up as their spokesperson some general who makes the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket look like Mrs. Cleaver. I don't care if this guy never saw combat and was a paper pusher all his career, so long as he has the voice, look, and demeanor of someone you don't want to mess with.

And I hope he explains to the public just how much at fault they are for it coming to this--the military having to take things over and save their sorry, worthless asses.
