Technically, no. But we have learned, the democrats roll according to their own laws and wishes.

“They have a long way to go to switch our GIs into anti-Americans.”

************

For those who despise and resist Trump the idea is to make HIM the anti-American (i.e., characterize him as a national threat) thereby not so subtly spreading and/or justifying their antipathy. General Milley, Adm. William McRaven, and General Mattis are but a couple of examples.

You keep saying routine things that we all know and forgetting what you and I disagree about, you think our GIs are just regular and typical government employees and have all been turned, they aren’t and they haven’t.

The U.S. (or any other) military wouldn’t stand a chance against the American people.

They would not be able to secure their bases, personnel, supply lines, etc.

Wrong and wrong. First, I clearly said I don’t disagree with your points about military personnel (i.e., being different). And second, never did I say or suggest that “all have been turned”.

Adios.

It seems to be the point you have kept posting to me for days.

The flaw in your thinking is the assumption that all Americans would unite and attack with one will. What will happen is that half or more of them will be brainwashed into believing that using the military against civilians is the right thing to do, just as it was done in the Civil War.

I absolutely disagree with you. I was a military wife for 13 years, husband was 101st and the 529th Army MP Corps, both daughters served 7 and 8 years in the Navy and Air Force and son was Merchant Marine/CG for 10 years. Both husband and son are now GA LEOs. I have been surrounded by nothing BUT military and cops and their families for over 30 years. Are there a few nutjobs in both areas- sure. But the overwhelming majority will NEVER turn on the citizens because some democrat tells them to. My remark about “soldiers taking their oath to the Constitution and NOT the democrat party” came from my husband. Soldiers and cops are NOT brainwashed. I reject your negative view of them.

Oh you know it! Antifa, BLM, pro-palestine, criminal illegals- they are fueling up as we speak.

The Constitution doesn’t really apply here. It is a law, the “Posse Comitatus Act” which, if you read the directive, can be over-ridden by a declaration of martial law by the president. Do I think Biden/Obama is capable of this? Indeed I do.

The Constitution does NOT forbid a standing army anywhere in the document.
