Yes, but the majority of the military did not vote for Obama, and it's ultimately the enlisted men and women who determine whether to support a clearly unconstitutional power grab, irrespective of what their commanding officers say. The obligation of an enlisted soldier/sailor etc. is to the people of the US and the constitution first, and when orders from CO’s conflict with that obligation they are not bound to follow those orders.

Again, good words and a good concept, but in reality, will most follow orders? Esp. if they are told lies: "These people are terrorists. The seek to harm America. We have credible information on a network of neo-Nazis instigating rebellion and a potential coup." The Left are masters at making up lies, putting them out through their propaganda arm (MSM). How is the enlisted man or woman to know?

I think the military will somewhat split. Remember in the first Gulf War, Sadam had to execute 127 of his own officers because they refused to invade Kuwait. Those who see the truth and act on their convictions will pay a heavy price. Also, we can not ignore the racial angle. A sizeable percentage of the military is black. What percentage voted for Obama, how they would respond to a power grab, is anybody's guess. I never trust polls on black solidarity. The people who take these polls skew them by poll location and who they consider "black".
