Maybe some of the brass but the soldiers on the field, no way. The elites think the serfs will just obey because thats what theyre used to. Goodluck asking a soldier to shoot their neighbors, cousins, friends etc. Some may, most wont
Especially ones that survived bs wars. Ive talked to several Nam vets, no one hates the chicken hawks establishment more. One thing known from red team blue team exercises is its assumed 1/3 will immediately defect and take most of thier shit with them. Another 1/3 will stay and wait for the right moment to turn on them. Last 3rd wil be traitors and follow orders. Ill try to find my source
Not a chance. You have to understand that the military as a whole may have a lot of liberals across all branches (still less than half), but with the exception of small numbers of special operations groups in the Air Force and Navy, only the Army and Marines have significant numbers of combat troops. The combat arms specialties in the Army as an example include infantry, cav scouts, artillery and combat engineers, all with significant amounts of combat training above and beyond the stuff taught in basic training. Most sailors never do any real basic rifle marksmanship after their initial training, same with Airforce. And my experience has shown me that the closer you get to real bad-assery (teir 1 operators) the more patriotic and conservative. Air Force and Navy are great at softening targets and controlling airspace but they cannot take and hold ground. That's where combat soldiers (Army and Marine) hold the advantage and the number of liberals is minute in that demographic.
Interesting observation but you have to take my word for it. If the military person had a combat job (trained specifically to fight), gay or not, they are overwhelmingly conservative. I knew many support personnel that were liberal (admin, mechanics, etc) but not a single combat arms soldier. Even the support members for my units were typically hard right because we all were.
I am not worried in the least about squaring off against a lefty aircraft mechanics if it came to it. I have fired more rounds in an average training exercise than they did their whole military career.

Getting soldiers to both shoot and not shoot civilians is part of their civil war strategy. You end up with the military fragmented as some soldiers will follow orders and some will disobey. Then you've got military fighting military.

I think there are enough liberal soldiers that we would have a difficult time. NOw veterans are a different story.

And 30% of the public are expected to get involved. They don't want an uprising.
Just 30%? Around here, seems like 50% are ready to roll when POTUS says go.

IDk. Purely anecdotal but it just seems for the last 4 years or so every military person I see is either pro-trump or gay. It is about an equal split.

We want our military intact. That's what keeps out foreign invaders.
