If you are a revolutionary marxist, you either get the military and police on your side, or you deball them...prior to the revolution.

In 1940, France had the most technologically advanced professionally trained and well equipped army in the world. But the state is was tasked with protecting was divided and had rotted from the inside. There was no real political leadership in a country that simply didn’t have the balls to fight and kill its enemy. France lost the war with Germany in five days, although the surrender took a while longer.

We are headed for an epic military disaster of the same magnitude for many of the same reasons.

In 1994, Mitt Romney was to the LEFT of Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy on homosexualizing the military, Romney opposed "Don't Ask Don't Tell", as unfair, and far short of his personal goal for total openness.

Mitt Romney in 1994
"One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."

leaders with intestinal fortitude like Colonel David Hackworth

Hackworth? The idiot who wasn't bothered that Kerry was working for the Communists—because Kerry agreed with him that the Vietnam War was bad?

Who denounced the Swift-boat veterans who went after Kerry?

There was something a little off about Hackworth, you could see it in his book, About Face.

"Where are leaders with intestinal fortitude...,"

I'd assumed comrade dictator obama fired all of them.

The military is nothing more than another G-D jobs program to this narcissistic Marxist imposter. We don’t need no stinkin’ qualifications! If you try, if you participate, you’re in, baby! Bonus points given for minorities and deviants.

We need the army I served in 50 years ago.

The good news is that we have a model for a military that works. The bad news is that we no longer have anyone with the stones to implement it.

Hopefully some future iteration of our once-proud nation will put things right.

What is the likelihood of a military coup? What if the generals decide enough is enough and begin by arresting politicians and taking control of the government. It’s happened in other countries.

American culture began its decline into hedonistic decadence in the 1960’s. The election of Bill Clinton in 1992 was an important benchmark in the era. The deconstruction of America’s military bedrock began in his Administration. Obama was not elected and reelected in a social or cultural vacuum. Sadly few people alive today will live to witness a true American rebirth.
