The problem with this is that here in America every soldier is a volunteer and has family they care about. Other nations military especially in dictator nations are typically conscripts pulled from the lowest dregs of their society and become completely dependent upon the state and lose all ties to any family. Not trying to put on the rose colored glasses but I think if biden tries to use the military against civilians it will completely backfire. Everything I have seen come from the joint chiefs has been to keep the military as neutral in this crisis as possible and I don't really see that changing.

Yeah, that's what the people always think also. Good luck with that. Think you will be portrayed in that light. Family people? Patriots?

Think again.

What evidence do you have that our own military will act like the militaries of dictator nations?
