As an West Point Graduate (-for those that don't know, a VERY old and respected academy for US Army Officers that have sworn to defend the USA against enemies foreign and domestic if need be) , I can tell you this much...If a tea bagger uprising imagined for a second they could overthrow the Constitutionally elected federal government by force of arms, the military would nearly unanimously side with the government and crush the traitorous seditionists like a grape. Every single member of the uprising would be efficiently and systematically killed or captured.
Every single one.
Just sayin....
Must say I doubt you were a West Point graduate. Furthermore, enemies foreign and domestic, include the president should he turn on the Constitution and the people he has sworn to uphold. Military are obligated to disobey unlawful orders.
Guessing from recent events as well as polls, etc., I'd say the military doesn't even support him now, by and large.
Don't give a damn what you doubt. I'm class of '78. My roommate Curt Scaparrotti is currently running most of the ground war in Afghanistan. Stanley McChrystal used to haze me as a plebe. I know from where I speak.
And you do not have a clue as to the loyalty of the greatest and most professional military on the planet. This is the United States of America, not Pakistan.

Tell that to Abraham Lincoln.

Yes they are. But unfortunately for your seditious fantasies, they actually know what an "unlawful order" is. And they know what insurrection looks like. We've learned a lot in eight years. Especially how to kill and capture terrorists of the sort you seem to be encouraging in this thread.

They don't have to support him. That's not part if the oath.
But they do have to obey him as their commander-in chief.
Oh, and if you're so excited about an imminent civil war I say, take it to the streets and rally your momentum. People online are typically too cowardly and lazy to actually respond in a manner that will involve anything more than repping you and saying, yeah, you're right.
I'm all for online dialogue, but when you bring up civil war, you best know what you're talking about.
Strange, typically militia groups who are actively stockpiling weapons are big on the internet. Militia groups don't seem too cowardly or lazy to start a civil war.

You're right. They probably arn't cowardly or lazy. Just really, really, stupid. Take it from a 10 year combat vet(now retired). The armed forces would follow the orders of the CIC. They would wipe the floor with the seditionists quicker than you could wipe your nose on a cold day. Just sayin.
