Remember Waco and the Branch Davidians?

While they may follow that order, I don’t believe they would continue to follow it for long. Every military member has families that live among the citizenry. Once firing upon civilians began, those family members would quickly become known as targets. If the military didn’t stand down, some parents, siblings and wives would perish to accentuate the necessity of staying out of the fight.

No need. They have countless foreign males here to do as they need.

That is most certainly in play along with the possible use foreign troops and UN involvement in putting down the “unrest”.

Counter that with the number of those of both our government and military who will be able to read the writing on the wall and protect America.

plus brandon & kamalol are pushing fast track to US citizenship for all the migrants that “join” the US military

so DOD directly that it’s ok to shoot at other US citizens fits into their plan (birthed by barak hussein obama’s plan to develop a private military police force??)

consider this from a fellow freeper

hat tip/

There will be NO outright civil war regarding the military. However, there may be some isolated skirmishes with some very far right.
The real concern is if the crazed left moves beyond destroying their cities and organize into groups to move into the suburbs. That is where a sporadic or on-going armed conflict could arise between SocialistsCommies/Anarchists and conservative/Constitutional patriots may occur.

I would call that a WAR OF CULTURES. The military wouldn’t be very effective since WOC would consist of guerilla fighting, so they would always be after the fact just like your local police.

The military is NOT going to start CWII. They know we know who they are. No one will be drawing lines across an open battlefield. Those days are gone.

Where did I say it could not be attempted? I asked to game the scenario out completely and tell me what you end up with. The fantasy of the US Military, turning on the entirety of the US armed citizenry.

The incidents you noted, 20,000 'bonus army' veterans protesting their mistreatment and the internment of around 120,000 people of Japanese descent on the west coast during the Second World War are not comparable to the proposed fantasy situation in either scope or mission.

It would be ok if Trump’s army turned on the feckless US citizens who hate America and the Constitution. You know — the traitors.

As a veteran of the US military I know the law states that the US military can’t be used against US citizens for law enforcement purposes. Congress would have to change the law and good luck with a split congress changing the law. YMMV.

I would not want to be given the mission to subdue 50 million snipers.

I think the potential problem is with our active duty federal military but with some national guards that could be called up by States Governors and used.

The military I know and have known would not carry out an obviously illegal order.

As you said, “....They understand that their oath is to the CONSTITUTION- NOT the democrat party. ......”

That wasn’t the military...that was the FBI...the same folks that pulled off the “Siege at Mar a Lago”.

I believe for every “Bigwig” that would wish for the military to go against the American citizenry, there are at least 1,000 normal American military and civilians who will fight to preserve America and our Constitution...

May be a small number but a few Detroit rioters in 1967 were KIA by members of the 82nd Airborne. Many more by the Michigan Nat’l Guard.

Just wait until those man bun-wearers, crossdressers, and pro Palestine thugs throw a few Molotov cocktails into a company of our soldiers- there will be a rude awakening…
