President Donald Trump’s recent speech to hundreds of top U.S. generals at Marine Corps Base Quantico wasn’t just political bluster — it was laying the groundwork for an authoritarian power grab.
After Hegseth and Trump ended their speeches to the top military leaders there was NO cheering NOR clapping. That was a crystal clear signal to those two asshats that our military will not act unlawfully nor will they break their oaths to the constitution. So, who is going to carry out this coup? USA is freaking enormous. There isn’t a willing force large enough to carry this out.
I was pretty sure that it’s standard procedure not to clap because it’s the military and they’ve been ordered to stand to attention. These were serious men with serious credentials.
The event where they had rookie soldiers cheering was an anomaly from untrained dipshits.
This is what they’re gearing ICE up for. They won’t want an open conflict, but they will keep using them as a domestic terrorist/milita to quell protestors.
The military will not intervene if it considered ‘domestic policing’.
They may intervene if, for some absurd reason, there is a democrat majority (or; gasp- president) winning an election again.
My money is there will never again be free and fair elections, and regardless the Democrats won’t be able to undo this mess, ever…no matter how many sternly written letters there are.
I wish I was as confident as you were. But history tells a different story. I can’t think of a time in history where entire swathes of military servants collectively refused a call to action from their leader, no matter how heinous. Can you?
People in the military are conditioned to obey orders without question.

No. They all take an oath to uphold the US constitution. The entire US military will not act unlawfully nor break their oaths. It’s not going to happen.
And no one in this thread has explained, precisely, how this coup would be carried out.
Yes they do care…very deeply. My wife was an officer in the US Army and I know many military people (active and inactive). I’ve never heard one peep about going against the US constitution.
Especially the highly educated top brass who are not used to being talked down to by bumbling idiots like Hegseth and Trump. That display definitely put the entire top brass in the camp of feeling insulted I am sure. An uneducated fatass draft dodger and a FOX News talking head with minimal experience lecturing them on doing their jobs.

Trump also took an oath to uphold the constitution. He doesn’t care. Neither do they. They just care that their paychecks get signed.

I’m sure your wife trumps hundreds (thousands?) of years of history that says otherwise. Again, show me a time that has ever happened.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make here. Please slow down and think carefully <- this is called ‘critical thinking’.
