“ That will ultimately prove their undoing. ”

Agree. I come from a family of veterans, including myself (Vietnam). The younger members of the family who have served say that enlisted and field command officers are very much conservative, especially in the combat units. There won’t be any Branch Dividian or Ruby Ridge massacres in the future. Today’s troops won’t fire on their own families, friends, neighbors. Won’t happen.
Propaganda and I don’t buy it for a second. It boils down to how the enemy is presented. Don’t you think the Pentagon has examined the Nazis and the Maoists and the Cambodians and raw mental manipulation, and how to get soldiers to fire on the required target of the day?
If you really believe this, then you are naive in the extreme.
Our own children would kill us with the correct set of incentives, and the right narrative.
