This naive, optimistic, “things will work out” way of thinking is how we got to where we are today. They take advantage of this and proceed on. Wars are lost to apathy.

This isn’t a “things will work out” hope. We were trained to not follow unlawful orders during basic training, and cleaning house at the General Officer level is going to cause enough chaos that they might just not be able to use the army. There’s going to be people refusing this shit at every level causing chaos for months, if not years.

Excuse me? I'm sharing my perspective of being a person who served in the military. I doubt any active-duty personnel would be used in a policing role because that stuff is not our mission.
