Thank you for that llandres, very upsetting to say the least what we’re up against. I’m the older generation and so it is passing into younger FReeper’s hands but myself and my buddies have a lot of fight, don’t get me wrong. Plus grandchildren are always a motivating factor to keep charging ahead for their sakes.

It is interesting that my son and his buddies (US Army Infantry, combat veterans) were discussing (after their second tour in Iraq) that push come to shove, with the wrong POTUS and oppression starts setting in, what would they do? Some said that they could not enforce edicts with the point of their bayonets on their fellow Americans, they would take their chances with a military tribunal. Others said that they would somehow “work around” those kinds of orders (how?).

Still others said that they would rebel and fight from within (wow, do you realize the seriousness of these discussions?). Maybe we ought to just keep watching the training flick “Red Dawn” and pray for guidance.

Pray for this nation, for its men and women in uniform doing their duty which still boggles my mind, I love ‘em all, they are of the calibre we should emulate.

It would not suprise me if those in uniform who have been defending their fellow Americans will say simply “enough” and turned against those tyrants in power. There is just too much respect given to those in the military by patriotic Americans for those in uniform to turn against them.

brushcop - thanks for your thoughtful reply, glad to know more about you and your family and I thank them for their brave service to our country. Keep the faith and fight the good fight the way you’re doing, for your grandchildren and their future!

God bless you, your kids and grandkids. I believe American voters will make the right decision in November.

And always, God bless America.
