That was then, this is now, GERTRUDE.You are under the misapprehension that our military would follow orders directed against the folks
wiki.
Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, one of the most popular military figures of the time, visited their camp to back the effort and encourage them.[1] On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchellordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. Veterans were also shot dead at other locations during the demonstration. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the army to clear the veterans' campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded the infantry and cavalry supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.
Here we have an example of active duty soldiers firing on WWI vets and their families. So yeah, I think our soldiers would follow orders. Or be jailed or shot, depending on what order they disobeyed.
To think otherwise is just wishful thinking.
