You'd have to be naive to assume a large percentage of either would. Soldiers aren't robots, and 70% of them vote republican while another 20 percent votes libertarian. The left hates cops and vice versa. The army higher ups are a little sketchy but we have state National Guards if it ever comes to that.

I don’t hate cops but many cops support globohomo.

a) I said some

b) The amount required to put down a rebellion would be dependent on the amount of people willing to rebel

c) Your post demonstrates you are way more naïve than I am

Naive how? For mentioning a statistic?

I'd be naive if I believed those statistics you pulled out of your ass, and you'd be naive if you thought that even 10% of the military mobilizing wouldn't immediately crush the will of a huge percentage of people willing to stand up for the cause.

I didn't pull that statistic out of my ass if you'd believe it. I think I was accidentally referencing one from 20 years ago that included veterans. Regardless, Military voting always favors republicans especially the most popular one ever. And I don't think 30-40% of the army would stand a chance against 50-60% AND the national guard and a civilian militia.
