The military can’t protect their own families from the American people; they have plenty to fear from them. People don’t even need guns; what is a military wife with small children going to do against one guy with a baseball bat?

The active duty strength of the US military is about 1.3 million with another 800 thousand reserves. How many of these would be willing to die for Obama in violation of their oaths, I don't know but I doubt it would be anywhere near half. 3% of the US population, the percentage that actually fought in the American Revolution and a reasonable estimate of those willing to put down any coup, is around 10 million. Obama's forces would be outnumbered about 10 to 1 but would be much better trained and equipped.

Failed coups degenerate into civil wars. My advice: Study the history of the Spanish Civil War and get to know your neighborhood's friendly retired Eighteen Bravo.

Shoot him?
