Go back and review some of the videos of our military dealing with insurgents in iraq and afghanistan. They are very good at what they do. And they WILL follow the orders if they are given. At that point you are an insurgent, a threat to the United States.

The only way revolutions have worked is if the military did not follow orders or actually joined the other side. As little as our military likes liberals via their votes, if it comes down to shooting civilians or joining them, I'd bet on our military to do the right thing.

It's a lot easier to be an occupying army in a foreign land, where you spend tours of duty on secure firebases, with your families safe thousands of miles away from the war zone.

Translate the converse. Jackboots won't want to live in hiding on military bases, wearing disguises in public. The parking lot at Target can be a very long walk. Even jackboots will want to go fishing and play golf. They can't wear masks and body armor 24/7/365.
