i’m glad you mentioned the troops...what are your thoughts on their role in a revolution?? i would like to think that they would dissent if they were asked to fire upon the people they are supposed to protect...

Yes I would like to think that too. And I think that is why O wants a National Police Force as well funded, trained, and equiped as our military.

However, I think troops are more likely to support the people and the constitution than the government. The question is do they understand the difference?

BTW- I’m involved in a startup that makes a super strong Mg alloy that is 35% lighter than Al. Only it isn’t green.
