I was talking to a buddy tonight - former military.

I said - The American Military is not going to fall for what's happening, it's only a matter of time before it turns in on itself.

Buddy said - I don't think we're quite at the point of where the military would have to decide whether it wants to support the government or the citizens...

Before I go any further just hang tight - don't take that the wrong way, because he is based af. He's not saying they're not disturbed by what's going on, just that we haven't gotten to that tipping point yet.

I was thinking about that conversation later and realized that to really be the person in charge, command, power of a country like ours you'd really need the support of your military. One simply cannot say in good faith that a country that's been free for nearly 250 years is going to put up with the government allowing constitutional freedoms like the freedom of speech for example being taken away.

Imagine you're a veteran, having served x number of years since say 9/11 - fighting the oppression these insane countries have their citizens under. You'd have to be out of your gourd seeing that day in and day out and thinking that's 'okay.'

I personally believe that most military folks aren't communist's, socialist, or shit even liberal for that matter. I can't really say that from experience having not been in the military, so maybe I'm stereotyping here, but still. Just by nature I feel like the generic type of person a liberal is would be so different than what a military person holds true for values, etc.

At the end of the day if your military doesn't support what they're fighting for they will not do anything for you. If you piss off your military, they will turn against you. Can you imagine a world where no matter how fucked our government becomes, that our great military members who for 250 years have been fighting for our freedoms would just put up with it and support and carry out it's orders? I think not! This is how I'm going to fall asleep at night knowing that it will all be okay no matter how shitty it gets.

Thank you guys and gals, you are the real patriots.
