Imagine if the vast majority just said no??? Just imagine. They couldn’t do shit. The military is the arm that would of course have to process and handle “AWOL” soldiers and if there are millions... welp they would quickly realize they are SOL.

Imagine is the perfect word, bc it’ll never happen. There’s only about 1.5mill active duty, with 800k reserves. You will never have millions of deserters or even the vast majority. And they will full on, no doubt, bury hundreds of thousands that “just said no.” There are plenty of military that have no problem serving under a Biden admin.

You don't need to, you literally just need one general with loyalists to take out a few higherups and assume the role of commander a la every military revolution that ever took place. It's never been about beating the military it's about being in the military and then taking out the 1-2 people above you.

How many Generals do you think are in the US Military? 1 General with a few loyalists isn’t shit. Take out a few higher ups? You mean a few dozen.

I'm not familiar with military terms, general was just my way of saying top leader. Look through history: Russia, Rome, plenty of generals took nations by themselves with the army. Army is critical to everything.

Technically, maybe, practically? Not so much. You can file for a refusal of orders, argue illegality of orders and tie that shit up until your term of service runs out, and then they give you a general discharge. And if you are female or "not white" you can also counterfile for discrimination and get a deal for general.

Still drags you on the entire process, taking years. Theres no easy release, unless you get pregnant and opt for a chapter 8.
