    That’s only in case if all of the military will remain under control. Do you think they don’t have people who support the bullshit? Aren’t ex-military is one of the main supporter groups? Do you think they turn only after they quit service?

      Same argument was made about Jan 6, but when they called in the national guard they showed right the fuck up. Military aren’t to be fucked with, they know the chain of command. They know if they step out of line in that way their entire military career (and most likely civilian career and livelihood) is over. It would take several people high up disobeying commands, knowing they’ll probably get court martialed, and everyone underneath them for that to happen.

      Stop fear mongering. Military knows who is in charge and where their paychecks come from. I’m more worried about who controls the military because that super loyal knife cuts both ways.

        cuz it was just a pathetic mob, not a civil war. Look up how civil wars/revolutions start. It is almost always a gradual process with enough time for escalation and enough time for people to pick sides. I’m not saying it’s gonna 100% start one day, but if it starts all your arguments about “future career” can go to toilet. People will be thinking about their careers under new regime or whatever.
