They obviously don't know what's at stake, because they're not following their oaths... Which since they're receiving illegal orders requires that they stand down. The current occupier of the white house isn't even legitimate or legal, so...

If you believe the military men & women on the line in this volatile situation don’t understand what is at stake, you may not fully appreciate their training, discipline, professionalism, & commitment. They understand their Oaths far better than POTUS, his Cabinet, & many Sens, Reps, & Judges.

I wish I had your confidence... But they also have a bias towards the same people who screw them over all the time, so...

“They” aren’t a monolithic demo. A disproportionate number do come from Souther states & “lean right,” but the training process is a powerful homogenizer. That said, don’t take anything I’ve said as an expression of “high confidence.” I anticipate ugly balkanization w/i 5 yrs. We’re too far gone…

Having sworn & administered those Oaths numerous times, over a 20+ year career, I’m schooled on the legalities. They know they are being used as pawns; we don’t want them unilaterally deciding which deployment orders are legal or not. That’s for the courts to decide & the Legislature to enforce.

No, it isn't; the courts take too long, and that delay means that by the time the courts intervene and assuming that the judge isn't corrupt, the damage will already be done. One NG or other military takes a shot at (or from) someone, even if the one who fires upon the military is a right wing

plant, the civil war will be on. Once the NG start carrying guns, they have escalated to the brink of the point of no return. The courts are already too late and too corrupt... By design.

They’re not doing it, but it is the Court’s & Legislature’s job. If they fail, the next & final line of defense is We the People, not the military. But mil carrying guns isn’t the tipping point; using them will — though if shots are fired, that becomes a distinction w/o a difference.

The courts and legislature already failed because they chose to fail. That ship has sailed and sunk.

You can find on my page where I’ve already said the natural inertia of the courts & deliberate negligence of the legislature are failing to check & balance the executive — which is deliberately dismantling the government & Constitution. The Republic is fooked, but the mil aren’t the traitors. Yet.

The judiciary and the executive have also been protecting the corrupt instead of the nation. They've already shredded the constitution. Putting guns in military hands on the street WILL trigger shooting, because if the law abiding citizens remain peaceful, the Vought will deploy a gunman.

I don't believe that the people currently protesting will instigate violence, but I do believe that one of the orange idiot's controllers will take that out of the people's hands, because they do not care about anything but their own power.

That’s a likely maneuver. Escalation of violence is a time-proven fascist strategy. If the population accepts it, it becomes normal; if We fight back, it becomes justification for use of deadly force & martial law. I want to be wrong, but there are few likely peaceful outcomes at this point.

We watched the Biden administration and the DNC leadership squander every single peaceful and legal opportunity they had to put a halt to the pedo-fascist coup, and even squander opportunities that the scrotus gave them. Now that they're in power, the ball's in their court.
