Do you guys think the US military would, by and large, turn its guns inward on US soil?
Personally I’m a bit skeptical—they’re our brothers and sisters after all. I think a good 60% of the military would quit if they were asked to fire on US citizens.
Even if it was a civil war roughly along party lines and no military quit on either side, the distribution of of military seems like it would be closer to a 60/40 or a 50/50 distribution than it would be 100% of the military on the conservative side vs a civilian army on the other.
America has already used its military to kill students protesting at university in the past. Everyday it has “police” that regularly devalue the lives of citizens and murder them abruptly and without punishment.
Add to that so many on the right would take absolute glee in the killings.
