My good conservative friend has a son in the military, and I posed the same question to her. She looked at me with the saddest eyes and reminded me that our military is trained to obey. She told me HER SON is being trained to obey.

They are trained to obey the oath to defend the Constitution.

“They are trained to obey the oath to defend the Constitution.”

And I pray they will. I have great faith in our military, but my point is that we civilians need to carry this ball.

They are not; and I say this with 9 years in the National Guard. The Army does not actively encourage an understanding of the Constitution, it actively encourages obedience though... my point is that it is “perfectly acceptable” to deffer to someone else’s understanding of “constitutional” or “legal”.
