Um, excuse me Trevor, but;
1) The military can’t constitutionally use arms against the citizenry.
2) Estimates are that very few servicemen would comply if ordered. Those that might would largely resist in place. And the rest would defect to the citizenry.
3) There are only about 200,000 total field personnel out of the 2M total in service. The rest are maintenance, logistics and administrative. Yet there are something around 10M men who would ‘be everywhere’.
4) Our military is zero wins four losses against similar domestics, in comparatively tiny territories.
5) It would take very vew people to plunge the USA, especially the dense urban cities with but a few days of supplies, into darkness, cold, and starvation – especially during the winter months.
6) I’ve done a revolution already, and the moment you fire on the people, especially if they’re trying to restore the constitution, then your government is dead for eternity, and the gloves will come off. Police, Fire, Emergency, News Reporters, Linemen, Power Station crews, don’t show up or even show for work once you’ve sent men to ‘advise’ them and their families at home. (personal experience).
7) The people are sovereign over the government only because men bear military grade arms and in sufficient numbers can defeat the government and the military. The second amendment is the only one that insures the rest. And in particular insures that democracy, that always drives back to authoritarianism, never succeeds in its deterministic ends.
8) If you think military, Guard, ex-military, and police, are going to fight to preserve woke, trans, feminism, leftism, the further destruction of the constitution of natural law, and the continued ‘march through the institutions of cultural production’, then you are a product of the solipsistic feminine magical thinking minds that brought us to this conflict.
