No, the fundamental question is: "Who controls the military?"
Not only...Who controls the military? But...
Who makes up it’s ranks? Are the ranks made up of liberal, hipsters that hate America? Or, Of kids from the South and Midwest who grew up standing for the Anthem and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance?
I realize that there are some that would blindly follow orders, like they did during Katrina, which was an absolute travesty. But, if it gets real, I’m thinking there are a large number that will grab their gear and get on-line with the people. Or so I hope.
As someone currently serving in today's military, the notion that we are all monolithically conservative Trump supporters is absolute fiction. There are plenty of service members of all ranks who voted for Hillary Clinton.
The military from top to bottom is just as divided as the rest of the country. During the past decade or so the military became a jobs program. The warrior ethos has been tempered. A lot of people are there just for the Tricare benefits.
