(a) Enlistment Oath.—Each person enlisting in an armed force shall take the following oath: “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.” These are the people that care about our way of life the most. Your assumption is incorrect even if you assume that the US Mil has the ability to suppress the US population en mass without destroying it's self. They are not robots.

Oh man, if only other countries that became military dictatorships had the foresight to make the soldiers swear an oath, they could have avoided the whole thing.

  You ignored my comment on the oath. Setting that aside, perhaps you know of another country with a voluntary force and a judicial branch upholding Heller[1] and Bruen[2]? Even a cursory understanding of mil force is enough to seriously question your unsupported assumption. It's why we have the 2nd right after the 1st.
