This is probably my greatest concern regarding the upcoming obumbler regime. The last thing I want to do is put myself across the fireline from our troops but I will do anything necessary to protect me & mine.

My fear is that ‘our troops’ are going to become his troops...

Only if he is in fact a natural born us citizen. Otherwise he is not the cic.
I believe our military would more than likely be on the side of the US Constitution, that they have sworn to defend.

I wouldn't fear too much about that. Not with our military's current demographic makeup. Most of our soldiers that that oath to defend the Constitution pretty seriously. They also know they have the right to refuse illegal orders.

Unlike the way they are portrayed by hollywad, they are not jack-booted thugs just waiting for the chance to lord it over the rest of us.

In my humble opinion, your fear is totally justified.

RE: "The last thing I want to do is put myself across the fireline from our troops but I will do anything necessary to protect me & mine."

MOUT (Military Operations on Urban Terrain) domestic training exercises and frangible ammo to keep down bystander casualties have been talked about and reported on for years.

I don't fear our military I worry about the "it all counts toward 30" government employees who will obediently do Wacos coast-to-coast and border-to-border. Kind of like IMO the FBI hostage rescue team at the original Waco.

That will always be the case. Remember Randy Weaver and Waco.
