Nope they won't do that, but I believe you are going to see a rash of officers that are going to leave the service.

I recall during the Clinton years they had to stagger the release of officers because a mass of senior officers did it all at once.

As Obama entered the room, it was absent of the regular fanfare of cheering and clapping. The diners were polite, staying seated at their respective tables and waited for the president-elect to come to them to stand up.

Want to bet they blame it on the Secret Service? "Hey, everyone, stay seated till the president-elect comes near you."

Why should these brave men and women give him anything since he refuses to prove he is worthy or eligible to even be their true commander?

Although all of us need a leader; our military even more so as they protect our lives with their very own. They give this upsurper freedom that he walks all over and destroys.

After January 20, 2009, these servicemen and women will be required to stand at attention when in the presence of their Commander in Chief, but until then Obama is just another illegal alien.

What are the chances we get a military coup during the next four years?

Former Jarhead chiming in. I'd say zero. As much as I dislike him, I don't think we want to go down that road.

I’ve never been in the military, but I’m sure these guys aren’t happy about their new commander and thief.

No, I don't think they are, either. That isn't reason enough. If a President went full-on batshiat insane and started ordering round ups and executions or something- military resistance would start with the refusal of obviously unlawful orders. Where it would go from there- who knows? I'd expect Congress- even such as it is- to do something about it.

THIS IS THE FRAUDULENT REPORTING WE CAN EXPECT FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS.

It's been blatantly fraudulent over the past eight or more.

“Want to bet they blame it on the Secret Service?”

It’d be easier for them to just blame it on racisim, the old standby bugaboo.

Yes, of course, but it was all bad and directed in hateful speech toward Bush .. only bad press was allowed.

Now we get to have the soupy, salivating reporting over Obama .. every move he makes will be on the news. No bad press at all.

Ok, that really was sarcastic.

What do you think the response would be if Obozo ordered troops to go house to house in the USA and violate my second amendment rights. Do you think they would comply?

What Berry? Had time to pry yourself away from the gym and the mirror? Needed a break from the She-Devil at the rental? Missing the worshiping you so thrive on since the S.S. won't let the plebes around you?

Well no way they should have stood, he isn’t president of anything except in his own mind.

They must be bitter clinging to their guns and religion.

Difficult to say with certainty, but I remember this being discussed extensively during the Clinton years. The reply I heard most often was ‘we’d make sure not to look very hard’.

The military by and large, if full of people like us.

I wouldn’t take that as an assurance of absolute safety- liberty is never really safe. Within the framework of the Red America\Blue America paradigm however- the military is mostly red.

I’m not sure what this ‘Civilian Security Force’ of Obama’s is going to amount to- but I wouldn’t be shocked if it were designed with an eye toward making an end-run around the military’s natural ‘Red’ sympathies.

To clarify- I mean ‘Red’ as in ‘Red State’, not as in Commie Red.

If he was speaking to service men and women, he’s the one who should have been doing the clapping, as should we all.

I was playing Pogo last night and this subject came up and some libtard in the chatroom tried to say that the Military and their families gave Obama 600 times more contributions than McCain. Everybody challenged her and she got pissed and left the room. LOL
