(3,811 posts)Anyone of those people in the military who do not understand that trump and his ilk are domestic threats it is because they also are part of the threat.
Look at countries where dictatorship takes hold, the first thing the dictator does is to "recruit" the military by awarding them with part of the loot. Suddenly the high ranks of the military become extremely rich, something very difficult to give up once you have been bought and compromised, and then the extreme violence takes hold, innocent people are tortured and killed just because they don't agree with the regime.
Many examples of that in the World.
