That a former military and law enforcement person, even a twisted one, could be so firmly in the marxist’s corner is a chilling thought. I wonder what the percentage of military and LEOs would be willing to side with the administration over the civilian population ?

Yet he was appalled at someone not saying 1 good thing about America. Typical liberal is the other way around.

Keep in mind that many LEO’s are in a union...and not just any union, a public employee union. As rookies, they are taught the fine art of maximizing sick leave and threatening public safety as a blackmail chip for augmenting their pensions.

Not all of them of course...but enough to change their culture for the worse.

I was in the Army, so I have a little experience with its culture (although it was a while ago). The vast majority of people in the Army are completely ignorant of their constitutional limitations. They will do what they are told. And it could be incremental...it could start out with a drone operator being told to launch a strike on US soil, as drug interdiction...few would refuse such an order.

BTW, I remember being trained in crowd control, which I found odd. And, I had a sGT who was tasked to go to California for a summer to wander around looking for drug fields...another odd policing action for a member of the regular Army. Nobody questioned these things.

Then you have the very dangerous politically correct generals. Think Wesley Clark. For starters, he tried to give operational control of US forces to NATO, during the bombing of Yugoslavia (an act repeated by Obama in Lybia btw). An of course there are the unanswered questions about Waco. Were those National Guard vehicles tearing the place down...or were they federal Army vehicles from Ft Hood? And even if is was the guard, did they do mock ups and training for the raid at Ft Hood? We may never know for sure, but the implications are chilling.
