Does anyone believe that the US military would back an Obama power grab? I absolutely don't think so.

Did the officer corps support Hitler? Take a look at most of the generals and admirals we have-- not all, but most are careerists who only look after their own advancement and will sing any tune they have to to do so.

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.

The officer corps supported Hitler after he agreed to disband the SA. The officer corps feared the growing power of the SA paramilitaries and decided it was worth it to make a pact with the devil. I would think that our officer corps would instead take it upon themselves to destroy Obama’s brownshirts.
