I would dispute your implication that the military would stand against the American Public. I think the whole Bergdahl debacle demonstrates the military culture is rooted in traditional American values. I think a military coup disposing a leftist leader to be a more likely scenario than one in which the American people are oppressed by a military back totalitarian.
That’s why this admin is actively replacing the important leadership positions within the military and elevating the lawyer positions. Anyone gets out of the left line, they’re gone.
You are right to a point, however I’m sure you have been noticing the cultural “changes” that this admin and Clinton’s have made to the military over the years.
Aliens born in other parts of the world are now recruited as foederati, and even illegals can be given this option now.
Don’t think this type of military won’t turn on us? This isn’t your grandpa’s military anymore.
