This has been on my mind for some time now as a real possibility.

For an alleged intellectual (which he ain't!), Obama has been rather stupid in his treatment of and words about the military folks here (active and former -- and there are a lot of them).

Emerging tyrants throughout history have either had to coopt the military or, like Stalin and others, eliminate the upper ranks and replace the officer corps with loyalists.

The bad news is that the service academies have been gradually infested with leftists teaching PC, multi-culturalism, internationalist One World crap for several decades. It's anyone's guess how these officers still on active duty will respond.

And if such an event does take place, I suspect there will be a division along racial lines but no way to tell what the numbers would look like.

Like the author, I believe it would be a fairly civil affair but, again, now way to be certain. It COULD get ugly before it is resolved.

I HOPE that oath they took to defend the Constitution -- which I also took in 1962 -- prevails and we can get back to undoing the damage Obama has done and get on with striving to be the America the Founders envisioned.

I'd write more but am off to rent the remake of "Seven Days in May." The one with the HAPPY ending.

Just being stuoid is not a problem as far as our military is concerned.

Its when that stuoidity starts getting members of the military needlessly and stupidly killed that comprises the problem.

A coup? Do you know what happens then? Look at the history of Central and South America.

possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem."
