the people will become more divided along with the government.

So, what kind of war would it be if it were to be the military vs the deep state....with no regular civilians involved?

It will be fought at the local and state level with hardening positions on all fronts regardless of the issue. It will be about imposing positions if you are in the majority. And their will be a Resistance at all levels.

it were to be the military vs the deep state...

Parts of the military are part of deep state. Mattis, Kelly, McMaster, Vindmen, etc. see themselves as patriots preventing people like Trump from implementing their agendas. DOD has its own culture and values. It will protect what it deems as important. There is only a thin veneer of political appointees who oversee the bureaucracy. And the political appointees come and go. The bureaucracy remains. Look how Trump was thwarted when he tried to remove our military presence in Syria. Congress and DOD forced him to renege and now we have the same number of troops in Syria as before with their new mission of protecting Kurdish oil fields.
