    Right. If there is a civil war it won't be muskets and cannons this time, but missiles and bombs. Not something we should want happening at all. It's certainly a lose lose situation.

    Europe spent a lot of time trying to figure out a third way with Hitler too

    As with all things there are no monoliths. You’re about to have a bunch of fired generals, and probably a bunch of recent vets and dishonorably discharged soldiers… along with anyone who objects to the loyalty requirements. First skirmishes might be around the Air Force base in Klamath Falls, given it’d be strategic for COW:Canada and controlled by Trump loyalists.

    Do you really think they're going to start firing military personnel? I would think they would be kissing the military's ass so they have them on their side...

    I'll be the first to admit I know shit about this, I have not served but here is a fact and some suppositions.

    Fact: The US Armed Forces is only 53% white.

    A personal fact: The vast majority of people I know who have served in the military are exceptionally good. Many are or were members of this community, @Lanny, @UncleCliffy'sDaddy, @kjironman1, @riverman, @BrianFromWA, and even @THE HCP to name a few.

    Taking these two facts I do not see the US Armed Forces getting enough personnel to attack American citizens in American cities without a bigger group of US Armed Forces stopping them.

    Posse comitatus is our best hope. I don't see how he gets around that. I'm sure the project 2025 minions have thought about that though.

    Chairman of Joint Chiefs, Black man, fired. His replacement is a white man MAGA loyalist who lacks traditional qualifications. Navy Secretary, fired. Coast Guard commander fired inauguration day. The only two women on joint chiefs. All Judge Advocates General, who enforce code of conduct internally, scheduled for firing and replacement with Trump loyalists.

    Anyone see a pattern?
