You do realize that with a comment like that you are inferring our military are like Nazis?

In any case where our military obeys illegal orders to forcibly "resettle" civilians, what would you call them? The same orders when given in Nazi Germany were not illegal orders under German law.

I do not believe that our present professional military would obey such orders, but with the current administration I forsee a new cadre of guardsmen being picked for their political reliability and assigned to such duties.

They'll assign redneck kids to the cities and inner city kids to the countryside, reducing any hesitation through the "he's not my bro" factor.

I hope I'm way off base, but I trust this administration to try ANYTHING they think they can get away with!

By the way, please thank your kids for their service; I know they'll be among the ones who've got our back.

I can assure you the thanks you send will be just as offensive to them as the thanks sent by the anti war left.

Our military is made up for the most part of professionals who love this country and it's Constitution at least as much, if not more than any person at Free Republic. The people who think that there are enough people in the military, or think that in eight years they could get enough senior officers to turn their backs on the Constitution, have a low opinion of our military's true patriotism.

Your thanks may make you feel better but it is offensive. They will never tell you this to your face because they serve you and honor wouldn't allow it any more than telling an antiwar leftest their thanks is not appreciated.
