I genuinely hope you're correct, that the strength of institutions and honor of the armed forces will be enough to prevent this. I do worry about concentrating "true believers", for want of a better term, into a single command and move non-loyalists out of the US as much as is possible.

I also do not look forward to the possibility of kids being forced to disobey illegal orders when some of them are going along with it and the potential consequences of that.

This is not to say I think this is likely, but anxiety has a way of taking over the imagination.

I feel you with all the anxiety of what might happen. There are good people out there, and it's important to network now and help each other.
