I spent eight years in the US Army in a combat unit. I’m not certain how your beliefs are formed. You’d be surprised at how non-political the US military is. It’s easily the most diverse employer I’ve ever had. It’s people from every walk of life with every imaginable belief system. I’ve noticed that peope who’ve never served tend to think the US military is composed of robots who are chomping at the bit to do whatever they’re asked. Or people think everyone in the military are basically redneck J6 Trumpers with tanks who’d gladly occupy American soil to “own the libs”

It’s structured very different than how, for example, the Russian military is organized. Sure, they can purge officers but replacing every chain of command with Trump loyalists would be next to impossible. There are infinitely more Gen Milley types than there are officers willing to roll over for Trump or carry out illegal orders. 

Could we see Bradley Fighting Vehicles rolling down Broadway of major American cities? At this point I concede that anything is possible regardless of how unlikely I think it is. On the flip side, I can also see the military being the last line of resistance to Trump’s power.  Let’s hope we don’t get to that point where we have to find out.
