You’re right on spot, the only thing i would add is that I don’t believe we have that much to worry about as far as our own military is concerned, except for a very few, the military is us. Our sons and daughters, not the lefties, who despise our military, just as they despise us.
When the decision comes to either work at forced labor, imprisoned, or dieing from lack of medical care, I believe I’ll just die in a warm bed of spent brass.....
The officers are by in large political animals. The troops will just follow orders. That is what they are trained to do. And remember the military is not a “free” society. A coup will destroy the COTUS as much as Obambi.
redgolum is right. it is an easy and relatively quick thing for an administration to simply replace & preswade the federal officers with those loyal to him and his cause.
As for the rest of the Federal military you may notice its authority structure designed to enforce ridged western order is also its aklees heel when it comes to its usefulness at the hands of a tyrant.
Simply put any patriot solderer that sides with liberty will have to resign and join a new army in defense of the same. If he simply refuses unlawful orders the rest of his organization will quickly dispatch him.
Indeed the only useful roll such a patriot could play in the Federal army is that of spy for the patriot cause.
In either case for such a cause to be viable there must in fact be a patriot army, and I contend that such an army could only be formed by our States. Starting with taking over their existing National guards.(Purging the non-patriot officers).
It therefore behooves us as political oppertivies to advocate for empowerment of State National Guards over the Federal Army & air-force.(transfer of resources, assets, and personnel).
That and taking control of our State Governors is one of the few “under the table” things we can do to enhance our long term position.
