"But what about officers? They could order the troops to do a coup!!" In theory, sure. In practice? How do you suppose someone rises to the level where they could make a coup happen? Conformity. Obedience. Political maneuvering Bootlicking 5/
The people who don't like the taste of shoe leather get out. Those who stay in acquire a taste for it or never progress to a high enough rank to matter There are exceptions of course--all hail CPT Crozier--but generally speaking, everyone high-ranking does what they're told 6/
If you think 50% disapproval of the commander in chief within the ranks is enough to make a high-ranking officer go against 20+ years of indoctrination and identity to openly rebel against a superior using military force, you're living in dreamland, you know nothing 7/
Even if a coup happened, which it 100% would NOT, who do you think gets installed? Not Joe Fucking Biden, that's for sure, and definitely no one to the left of that. You'll get a military conservative, or just plain military dictatorship. Both of those things are bad 8/
What is far more likely, if we're talking coups, is that a sitting commander in chief commands the military to preserve his power in the face of something designated an unconstitutional threat The chain of command remains unbroken, institutional identity remains intact 9/
Lots of soldiers wouldn't like being Trump's personal army. But soldiers like very, very little of the shit they're ordered to do. They do it because they've been trained to obey. The military exerts tremendous and unrelenting pressure from all sides to force conformity 10/
So take the words "military coup" out of your mouth and out of your brain, forever. The military is a tool that belongs to the commander in chief, the military will not save you Sincerely, -an ex-troops 11/11
