Civil breakdown is the military’s specialty. Who said leave their family. Have you been on a modern military base? Many are large cities, with lots of homes, restaurants, bars, their own power plants, hotels and lots and lots of guns and people to protect it. Civil breakdown, I am heading to base with my family before they close the gates.
“Civil breakdown is the military’s specialty.”
A 1.3 million military cannot and will not control a country the size of the US. They exist to extend themselves to many more millions during wartime. If this country falls to civil conflict there will be little to offer in logistics to provide for that military. The military today isn’t the military of WWI. Every warfighter today needs massive logistics behind them.
You forget that many in the military side with the savages. This isn’t the military of yesterday where few liberals existed. They are here, queer, proud, and in charge. Who says you get to stay on the base if the leadership demands loyalty to ‘the cause’.
