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.

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 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.
