How many generals need their necks stretched? Will forces in the military attempt a coup after nov 4th? Seeing soldiers of the california nat guard bow to blm was sickening in the extreme

"The military are patriots! They'll be on our side in a war!"

Lol, they will do as they're told, folks. Don't be fooled; if their commanders say "go shoot the Trumpers, they're enemies", they will do it. Some of them gladly. If they try a military coup, you're going to have to fight Marines under command of a traitor general.

This is literally turning into Warhammer 40k lol

I'm sure the Tiananmen protesters thought the same thing in 1989.

The thing is, they weren't completely wrong. The local Beijing garrison commander initially refused the orders to disperse the protests. So the CCP pulled them out, flew in battalions from far western China (Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang), stocked with soldiers who were completely unfamiliar with big city life in Beijing, and told them to open fire. They did.
