And I was convinced that Republican governors would be the last line of defense against Obamacare by refusing to participate and overwhelming the federal system with the population of their states. Now more and more are rolling over like ten dollar whores. (apologies to the prostitutes of America for the unfavorable comparison to politicians).
Clear out the percentage of soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen who absolutely won't fire on Americans. Threaten the rest with courts martial, loss of pay and loss of retirement benefits and you have a military willing to kill any rebels disobeying Washington. And as shown by local cops' actions, I doubt they would even require many removed or threatened for the same results.
Be on the look out for loyalty and psychological tests for the military. They will be a sign things are going to go very badly very soon.
The new model armies at the DHS and other agencies have loyalty oaths to who, exactly? The Constitution or the President?
