I think it’s the fact that they will be spread out throughout the military is what is concerning. I’m sure plenty of those soldiers are in officer positions and can easily influence others. Imagine the younger ones signing up just to learn how to shoot a gun and get enough training to make them effective in the militia they’re also secretly a part of.
Imagine if just 50% of those can get 2 additional people on their side. Imagine if a colonel or a major can get a small chunk of his officers to side with him. Maybe not a coup but disobeying or altering orders. Just enough to swing things in one direction or another.
We’re seeing a coup happen in real time in the government. I honestly think it will just be a matter of time until the military is affected.

You would be wrong. Even then, only 43 of the 8k have rejoined

the 50% getting two on their side is not a legitimate framing of it, because it works from the assumption that every member of the military is open to partaking in a coup. In reality there is only a portion who would even be in the ballpark of potentially open to the idea.
