Wishful thinking. It is not going to happen. When the Civil War started, not a single unit joined the Rebellion. The enlisted personnel continued to serve under the colors as their oaths required them to do, even though many were from the South. The officers who chose to join their states, resigned their federal commissions, bade farewell to their Regiments, and returned home. Only then did they rise up against the Union. It was a reflection of what they believed their Code of Honor required them to do.

Today’s officer corps will not rise up against a lawfully elected civil government, no matter what their personal feelings might be. If you think that they will, you just do not understand.

Then you think they will stand idly by and watch as the Constitution is shredded/disregarded? Even at the point of the destruction of rights of their personal families? Or do you think that the Founders had it wrong when they observed that mankind is disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable...

And with the ACORN involvement, the Judicial meddling (Minnesota, New Hampshire, etc), County/State Clerk manipulation (”finding” boxes of ballots, etc) you think our elections ARE legal?

If Obama ordered them to fire on US civilians they would.
