I would agree but the door swings both ways. Do you really think an 18 year old in uniform could turn his guns on you or his family? If, and that's a big if, revolution ever broke out here, I believe that we could expect mass desertion from our military services and many of them coming to our side. I know for a fact that the American Revolution is still a cornerstone of our service academy's curriculum and we should expect some backing from some, if not many of these academy grads.
JB, with all do respect, this is why our country will continue to slide down hill. Most people are resigned to the fact that nothing can be done so they "just roll with the punches". It doesn't matter if we're old, out of shape, or afraid of our neighbors selling us out. It's about ideology and heart. I believe that this is the greatest country in the world. I believe that the founding fathers got it right by making the US a constitutional republic. I believe that the best method of fighting this onslaught on our constitutional rights is through the ballot box. However, my fear of picking up arms and fighting for my constitutional rights will not be based on my personal arsenal, physical fitness, or fear of my neighbor. It will be based on my belief that what I am doing is right!
