Conservatives don't like preemptive surrender by the commander (thief) - in - chief.

...something is rotten at the top.
The Foreign Affairs website features an article by liberal professors Ronald R. Krebs of the University of Minnesota and Robert Ralston of MIT and Harvard’s Kennedy School which criticizes conservatives for their recent distrust of America’s military. The article is titled “Why Conservatives Turned on the U.S. Military,” with a sub-heading that reads “Right-Wing Attacks Are Eroding Trust in the Armed Forces.” The authors criticize conservative politicians and pundits for labeling the U.S. military as “woke.” The article is fundamentally misguided in that it confuses conservatives’ dislike for Pentagon policies with the Democrats’ long-standing disrespect for the troops.
The authors recount conservative reaction to General Mark Milley’s astounding phone calls to his counterpart in China (promising to warn China in the event of a U.S. strike, according to Bob Woodward’s new book) and to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (discussing President Trump’s alleged craziness), as well as Milley’s believing it’s important to include Critical Race Theory in army training and at our military academies. On these facts, the authors conclude that “The long Republican romance with the military appears to have finally come to an end.” They opine, too, that “the consequences for the U.S. military could be dire.”
Conservatives, according to the authors, have been in a “love affair” with the military for decades. But President Donald Trump, they write, ended that affair after he turned on the active-duty generals he appointed to key positions in his administration—Michael Flynn and H.R. McMaster (National Security Advisers), John Kelly (Chief of Staff), and James Mattis (Defense Secretary). Trump, they write, grew to dislike those generals and “abuse[d]” them. Trump and his generals disagreed about fighting what Trump called “endless wars.”

Would today’s average soldier, trained my today’s military system, obey orders to conduct offensive actions against US citizens?
Sadly, yes.
When they have the military and the police that they like then they will be coming for us. Can’t wait.
Er, a lot of things are rotten at the top in the miltary.
And the troubling thing is that as rotten as the military has become, D.C is even more so.
When the Left has complete control and leadership of the US military, they will turn on the people and use it to crush any opposition. This would be the end of the United States.
The left now loves the military because it is run by traitors.
Traitors and thieves who haven’t won decisively in 3/4 of a century.
Apparently, they are very sensitive about the WOKE label so it is important to never let it go. Social engineering in the military leads to less trust in their capabilities as recent results are clearly unimpressive. America is much less safe thanks to these Political Generals but I have a feeling that was the plan all along.
Obama very carefully removed from the chain of command anyone who he suspected of being a patriotic American. There have always been “perfumed princes of the Pentagon”, but there was always some pretext of accountability. That’s now been replaced by pure party loyalty.

He just eliminated the ones who were junior officers during Clinton’s rein of terror on the US military. War-fighting flag officers are no more, replaced by modern pizza loving, heavily bemedaled, PC and woke fat guys who are either working to become a politician or a lobbyist for Lockmart/Boeing/China - pick one.
Nah, the military went along with serving as security guards in an armed encampment to protect an illegal dictator from the (expected) wrath of the citizenry. They turned on us, we didn’t turn on them.
Sadly yes, they will fire on Americans if ordered, not all but quite a few. And no one should be surprised they have fired on their own before. The US military flipping to the communist side just made the coming slog a lot bloodier and longer for all Americans.
