View submission: If a U.S. president attempted to dismantle democracy or impose authoritarian rule, how would the military likely respond? Would they prioritize their oath to the Constitution or follow orders from leadership?

This is literally how the military is designed. You have no authority if people start questioning your orders.

America spends most of its time bombing brown people for some cheap oil. That doesn't work if people question what you are doing.

When there is a just reason to turn up, say stopping a genocide in Palestine, Sudan, Rwanda, or war crimes in Ukraine, they don't turn up. No oil there.

Last war you had you spend 25 years achieving literally nothing in Afghanistan, it all fell to pieces on the notion the US was leaving before the planes even got off the ground.

This is an incredibly dumb take. The only war we’ve been involved in where the country had oil is Iraq and we never touched their oil.
