Same argument was made about Jan 6, but when they called in the national guard they showed right the fuck up. Military aren't to be fucked with, they know the chain of command. They know if they step out of line in that way their entire military career (and most likely civilian career and livelihood) is over. It would take several people high up disobeying commands, knowing they'll probably get court martialed, and everyone underneath them for that to happen.

Stop fear mongering. Military knows who is in charge and where their paychecks come from. I'm more worried about who controls the military because that super loyal knife cuts both ways.
