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?

I agree with this; it’s pathetic to see how easily people down the command chain will just follow orders with minimal pushback.

Look how many people were "Just following orders" during the Holocaust.

People love to follow orders from an authority figure, even if things might feel a little "off".
