Pretty much if the military felt the way we do then they go and arrest Congress and there would be no need to take up arms.

On the other hand if antimilitary liberals has had control of the government and military for any length of time this is what happens. They promote those who share their viewpoints and they don’t promote those who don’t. They cut the pay and benefits and perhaps enact a draft. An army of draftees is easy to control as the Soviet Union shows. The patriotic real good soldiers, many from long time military families will either not enlist or will get out and those who remain can be easier controlled and lead than if they got out.

Look at the New Orleans and some other police forces, at one time they had good cops who respected and enforced the law. After long time Democratic liberal rule the cops are pretty much the same as the criminals and didn’t hesitate to take the guns away from legal owners.

Within ten years of liberal rule the greatest military in the history of the planet could be turned into a national version of the New Orleans cops.

What makes you think the tank operator or jet fighter pilot wouldn’t join us?

Exactly. The military, as a whole, is far more conservative than the general population. What's more, they are probably absolutely horrified at the thought of either a Hillary or Obama CiC, and not all that enthused about McCain (but at least he was a military man). If it were to come to that, I actually would expect a significant amount of active duty military to either join the patriots or at least refuse to kill them. Think about it. How many military guys does the average conservative know vs. the average liberal?

Police forces and the National Guard, however, I would not have as much faith in.
