The military absolutely will NOT go against the government. Was topic of discussion when I was in - that was the conclusion. Topic of discussion right now with family I know in - same conclusion.
You may have individual units/soldiers etc not toe the line but as an organization, if DC says roll tanks down mainstreet Anytown USA - they will.
Damn right , I lived in military towns 35ish years and had many military friends - Steve is 100% correct .
A while back someone said ''there won't be nearly as many young folks joining the miitary'' because of the way the country is headed .MontanaMarine - said '' let the economy take a downturn and the recruiters offices will be full'' .< --FACT ..
People seem to believe that the people who join the military do it because they want to serve this country , some do , but it's not nearly as many as folks here seem to believe .
