No, I was wondering why the military is the only American organization you trust.

One interesting question that I’ve asked officers is “At what point does your oath to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic kick in in regard to the Congress, the President, and/or the USSC?”
Not many direct answers are forthcoming.

That’s a great question. I wonder if anyone in the military knows the answer. My only answer would be, once all of my comrades in arms come forward and say, “enough is enough, it’s time that we act. The government is out of control so we must act to defend the republic and the United States Constitution.”

They aren't stupid you know. Direct answers would quite likely be construed as violations of good order and discipline, plus being a threat to Civilian Control. IOW, something lead to court martial.

Not enough info for an answer. . .and most likely, intelligent as they are, they see someone trying to set a trap.

There’s a reason they won’t answer directly. Don’t worry, ALL the military officers I know (including the one that resides in my own home) will do the right thing in the end. For the most part, they are true patriots! The best interest of the Country will always outweigh the best interests of one man.

Clinton purged the officer corps of the services. Hussein can and probably will do the same. Clinton need an excuse and got it in "Tailhook." Hussein may not feel he needs an excuse, or one can be manufactured.
