    People in the military are US citizens as well. They have families in the US. Do you really think the majority of the military would be ok with killing tons of US citizens just so the president can hold onto power? As a vet, I can say the military is not as militaristic as they would like you to believe.

      Let’s see how long that lasts once Trump starts putting his yes men in positions of power within the military. You know… Like other countries have done.
