Well yeah, anything is a possibility but I seriously doubt enough enlisted men would be willing to harm their own people for it to matter, especially if they're being given orders by someone they don't support or respect.

Soldiers aren't paid or trained to think outside their orders. Anyway, we have a civil war in our history that pitted family member against family member that says you are wrong.
Oh and don't forget the kent state massacre.

And geez how many civilians do just the regular cops kill, beat, assault a year?

That was before the horror of what big government always do..now the average grunt knows history.

We out number the cops 500 to 1..and they wear uniforms, and drive very specific cars, they will have to carry out the orders of the statist tyrants,because it won’t be elite Manhattan or Malibu liberals or Ivy League professors or politicians or columnists who will be ordered to strap on the sweat-stained body armor and enforce the new gun control laws at gunpoint. No, that grim task will fall to them...

None of what you mentioned relates to the US military trying to confiscate firearms from American citizens by force. We're not talking about fighting a war or cops beating people up. No branch of the US military is going to attack innocent Americans on American soil. I've served with hundreds of guys from a couple branches of the military and I don't know a single one who would follow orders to attack Americans.

It is all slowly and methodically coming to a head.

Sidenote: LOL from the phallic allusion. Take it from this veteran, buddy, we have literal weapons far larger than anything you can even comprehend, much less own.

There are a few things that I'm absolutely certain about - one of them is that the USA is not Holland and never will be. It really doesn't matter what happens in the future or what anyone might attempt - we are NOT Holland or anything like Holland.

I have, indeed. And have spoken, at length, with lots of pilots. Wben asked what their greatest fear is, flying ground attack missions, they ALL say "concentrated small arms fire".
