No.

Down that path lies ruin for our country. I was born into, and grew up under, a Latin American military dictatorship. Once the military is loosed from its bounds, it can no longer be controlled. Once the military sets its (rightful) civilian masters aside, there is no recourse should the institution decide that it knows best what is good for the country.

Don’t wish it; don’t advocate for it. If it should happen despite all my hopes and prayers, do not support it. Believe me.

If revolution it must be, then a full-fledged revolt by the People, as a body, is the only avenue worthy of the (small “r”) republicans we claim to be. All else de-evolves to tyranny.

Well stated, thank you.

A truth spoken by one who has lived it. And something we should all keep in mind. I would dread as much, a military coup d'etat as I dread a continuance of the arrogance of Fedgov, Incorporated. Either way, "We the People" are the losers...
