I wouldn't count on the US military necessarily siding with a tyrannical government that has stripped its populace of its Constitutional rights.
Here's the Oath of Enlistment with a few points of emphasis:
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
- craftyguy 9y agoAs someone who formerly served in the US military, you would be hard pressed to find anyone in it that still remembered the oath they took, much less nuanced details like what you pointed out, while half asleep at MEPS that one fateful day after hours of testing and medical prodding.
