The Palace Guard in Egypt is whispering to protesters:

@nancyayoussef:
"God be with you. Don't leave until #Morsi leave," on-duty soldier guarding the palace quietly tell us. #Egypt

Huh!
There must be more with the same sympathy. I can't believe he would say that if there weren't more guards around him who thinks as he does. Still dangerous.

ALL successful revolutions wind up including the EMs and NCOs of the military eventually. The cops never turn (at best they just hide), but the rank-and-file of the military CAN be turned and, indeed, MUST be turned.
