What no one ever considers is what is happening right now in real time. They are actively pushing out the troops that would object morally to bad orders. The administration doesn’t care if they are left with inferior troops, as long as the ones they have left will follow orders blindly and without question.

It is important to know this because when the military is turned on you, you should know they’ll obey. If you think there are enough that would so no, you’re wrong.

you seriously think none of your fellow service members would listen to violent orders?

I never said that. There are plenty of stupid people in any crowd. But dismissing it as entirely full of people who would target US citizens is insulting. That would not stand.

I’ll accept that.
But it’s all about the crowd and momentum. The crowd gets hyped the crowd is gonna do some shit an individual won’t.

Democrats and Republicans want to murder each other NOW, they’re not even in the military. Why would GIs be any different?
In a civil war, all will be armed, the armed forces will split as they did before.

Shut up and follow orders.
