Be patriotic, join the military, be investigated for signs of patriotism, be dismissed from duty.

Can same people not see how fucking bananas this has gotten?

Even Adolf Hitler trusted his military until the end where he went pretty much insane. Biden will not be able to handle the pressure of being president and he'll be replaced

True but historically, Hitler also fucked up listening to his generals for the initial planning stages of Barbarossa (the Wehrmacht would have been better off running for the oil fields right off the bat and cutting the railways from stalingrad to moscow vs going straight for moscow for the soviet rail hub).

Either way it doesn't matter since he at the very least trusted his soldiers, something Biden will be incapable of doing since he stole the election.

Globo-homo commie doing purges in the military. The obvious comparison to make is Stalin. Why even bring up hitler.

Because conservatives have been brainwashed too, they just don't want to admit it, cuz they're not as deep in, as the leftists.

Shortly after winning election, he purged the SA of everyone he thought might turn against him, including the SA head Ernst Rohm.

It will be "sorry can't work here we don't hire Conservatives" and then they'll say "sorry government unemployment isn't for those labeled domestic terrorist by Liberals in charge" "Guess you'll have to go get you a medical condition which will allow us to confiscate your firearms if you want money to eat".

Let's see what happens. If you think that there aren't some radicalized people in the military I think that's a bit naïve. More so, I also wouldn't be surprised if there were progressives that want Biden dead to destabilize this country and implement socialism in the chaos.

Do we really think they are going to get rid of 75% of the soldiers there (or whatever percent really support Trump)? No, that would be ridiculous.

I can't speak to the US, but the concept (at least for Commonwealth forces) is that the military is a tool of the Government of the Day. You could say a rather violent tool wielded by utter tools, but that would be getting political.

Ultimately, the military's role is to commit violence on behalf of a nation state. Either in defence or offence, on home soil or on expeditionary operations. Pansies in ivory towers might have moved away from the "Department of War" concept to a "Department of Defence" but, at the end of the day the job is to make somebody else hurt and deny them access to a particular resource (be it land, space, sea, mineral, terrain, urban, whatever).

The military HAS to remain apolitical, lest it starts down the path of staging a military coup. Just look at how Biden is jumping at his shadow in fear of the military not following orders. Career military officers and troops will serve under a number of governments, from both sides of the aisle, and with varying levels of governmental competence.

To react politically to the changes of government is a distraction from the main military task and benefits any perceived enemy and remaining apolitical is seen as professional military bearing and discipline. Further, splits within units of political thought and reaction would lead to breakdown of intra-unit cohesion and discipline and result in a much weaker military force being able to be deployed, even if the physical numbers remain the same.

Mutinies are rarely a good thing.

A good way to think for military members is that they serve the nation. Its people. The government is just the weenies in charge for a time who get to tell them where to go and, with time, they will be changed. The nation will endure. In theory the government reflects the will of the people (hah!).

We're getting there. The UK always seems a few decades ahead of us.

They want the enlisted men and women to be afraid to think differently.
