Just remember what happened to Rome when the Roman legions returned from a tiresome session of foreign adventures and found that Rome had mutated into a form not to the liking of those legionaires and their commanders. Shortly thereafter, there was no more Roman empire, just as a few years ago something similar happened elsewhere and there was no more Soviet empire...or Soviet Union.

I must have read your post wrong. You are not implying, are you, that a bunch of vets with souvenir weapons could topple the US government are you? Our military was forced to endure clinton and did not revolt although I suspect they were revolted.
