(10,222 posts)If short little Putin moves troops into the White House to protect Trump from the American people, who is going to stop them?

(10,222 posts)But what if their Commander and Chief orders them to stand down?
And of course no one would know Trump ordered them to stand down. The orders to the military will come from their officers, their Chiefs and Sergeants. It wont be identified as an order from the traitor in the White House. In fact it would be the opposite of an order, all that would be needed is that NO Orders be given.
Putin could put his troops all around the white house - for Trump and Malaria's protection from angry Americans of course - and we would only realize it the next morning, after it is a done. We have a traitor and foreign asset as our president after a clearly rigged election. If we can live with that, I'm sure we can live as an occupied nation.

(6,324 posts)The Military takes an oath that is first and foremost to the Constitution. In fact while the oath taken by enlisted service members mentions following orders of the President the oath taken by officers does not, by design.
The senior leadership of the US Military is very well educated, experienced and has dedicated all their adult lives to upholding their oath to the Constitution. They would not see such orders and lawful and would not follow them.

(10,222 posts)But sometimes information is garbled and the vast majority of people I knew in the Navy were admitted Republicons.
I use to swear in enlisted members into service at the MEPS. I use to say it 3 times a day. I have the oath memorized.
But having worked in the Pentagon, I know senior military leadership is just as political as some of those senators. Yes, we all took an oath but some take the oath seriously and some not so much. And it wouldn't have to be a conscious traitorous decision. It's not like leadership normally explains their orders. It could be something as simple as moving troops to out of the way locations so they don't see what is happening. Then they spin it the next morning, just like they are doing now.
But eventually I suspect, the military will figure it out.
