The outsider surge is evidence that your statement is correct. In history, communist leaders have always fomented revolution so they could have the chance to be the ones able to pick up the pieces. Obama having 8 years to shape the leadership of the military makes this significant.
I don't think they are nearly at the point where he has won them over. A Hillary 8 years would be devasting, though. 16 years straight of socialist leadership could get our military near the tipping point.
That's one reason the 2nd amendment is so crucial to them. They know that 300 million armed Americans can defeat even an army when properly led.
