The military is not a monolith. They are Americans, and other Americans are their family. If ordered to act against American citizens, how many will refuse? How many will obey?

    I hear there is a lot of MAGA in the US military due to being forced fed Murdoch’s propaganda. I have no way to confirm, just what I hear.

    I’m going to go ahead and guess that they will strategically mobilize troops so that the chances of them encountering anyone who could trigger a humanitarian response will be minimal. Plus, soldiers are basically cops, and all cops are bastards. It’s not looking good.

    I mean, I started off my being banned on Reddit streak last week by just explaining the concept of “fragging” in a military context, and then got perma-banned over there finalizing my migration for joking that I hope any radioactively hot wars that may start don’t go Washington’s way, in specific relation to their current nuclear standoff brewing with Iran. Balkanization talk is dissent after all.
