Doesn’t sound like you’re giving the troops much credit for being able to figure a few things out. Such as, who those “political” generals are, and to take what they say with a grain of salt.
One thing I will grant, though, is the difficulty that deployed troops will have in doing anything to help us. It’s not like they can just fly themselves back here whenever they want to.
Ordered out into the community to back up Obama's tame police and Brownshirts in a hunt for guns, the cops having orders to shoot-to-kill any resistance, I would imagine the troops would comply if their officers went along.
Remember what happened at Goliad, when orders repugnant to the laws of war and the law of nations were handed down.
The senior officers, who were career, professional military (some of them with European service during the Napoleonic Wars) indignantly refused to carry out the orders, but somewhere a junior officer was found to give the necessary orders, and the troops duly massacred Fannin's disarmed and surrendered Texians.
