In my opinion the US armed forces would not fight against other Americans. They would lay down their arms first! The military is sworn to first uphold the Constitution and second obey all LAWFUL orders.
Second, the US military does not have sufficient forces here in CONUS at this time to win against a fully armed citizen insurrection of all armed Americans. It would be horrible and bloody, but the Army is not large enough to suppress a determined American citizenry.And remember, many of us are trained veterans, too..... However, if the administration plans to use police and unions or UN Armed Forces, that could change the numbers significantly.
I just hope the Administration is not stupid enough to try that.

I agree with that, but if it should come to that I think UN troops would be called in. Countries who hate the US would jump at the chance to come here and kill Americans.
