Believe me, there are thousands of us pissed at him. Just because you take your oath to start your service, it doesn't relieve you of that oath when you muster out. I'm 69 years old... female... one of the very first female military police in the Air Force back in my day. I can shoot all kinds of guns, and the only time I'm afraid of them is when some redneck is holding one. I may not be able to see the target so well these days, but most of these guys with their toys are bigger than the broadside of a barn!

Whatever happens, most of the military will hold. At first. That's before he kicks out everyone who doesn't agree with him. Thats where units of veterans come together, IMO, to fight him. Believe me, if my father, a nazi-fighting WWII vet, were here, he'd be right there with us, wheelchair and all!

The most important thing to remember, to me, is that WE are the "Center"... if WE hold together, they can't stand!
