    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.

        Neither do they.

        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.
