Adam, I agree. Ever since General Millie’s portrait was removed and his security detail canceled, there must be s majority of those in the military who object to this retribution, and wish to respond. With a weasel sitting in the corner office at the pentagon, perhaps they can remove him, too.
Considering the Secretary of Defense is part of the incoming Nazi fascist regime, I would not count on any help from our current military. Regarding just civilians bringing an armed revolt, I am skeptical. I am skeptical because no matter how many weapons the civilian population has in the United States, going against our current military is a huge lift. I don’t know anyone with a weapon strong enough to stop Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters, F-16 and F-22 jets or a cruise missile. These are the type weapons a civilian revolt will face. Bottom line: the U.S. military is built to take on another super power. I don’t see them having much trouble handling an outright violent revolt by a bunch of civilians.
But will our military actually follow these illegal orders? The PCA outlaws the willful use of the military unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. I know they are shredding the constitution, but the military took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not a politician. If he does this, and declares martial law after the demonstrations start, he will then use an Executive Order to suspend the 2nd amendment and confiscate all guns. Dictators always disarm their citizens.
The military, like every profession, has people that are honorable and those that are dishonorable. The real hope we have in the military, is if the honorable people can control the dishonorable ones. Time will tell.
Oh yes it's a replay of the NSDAP 1932-45.
WE NEED A MILITARY COUP!

Rob, you destroyed HOPE for a military coup.
If a military coup occurs, it will be because we have lost the republic.
