No, I'm saying as bad as things are politically in this county, it's not quite a dictatorship. Therefore you have non-military options to change the system.
It's hard to gather the resources and support needed to overturn a corrupt democratic political system using military options, because so many folks still believe in the institutions of the government and are comfortable eating crumbs.
U.S. wages have been flat in this country for almost 30 years, yet the 1% have seen their earnings increase by roughly 300-400% during that same span.
That's the reason why in most countries, dictators are usually former generals, because they have the support of the army and the military later becomes one of the top social classes in the new country.
For U.S. soldiers to fight in the hundreds of thousands against the federal government, you've got to offer them more than truth, justice and the American way of life.
I'm not up on military culture generally speaking, but can you see a scenario where officers and millions of enlisted soldier across all three branches would follow the illegal orders of 1-3 generals against the federal government??
IMO things would have to be a whole helluva lot worse in the U.S.A. than they are right now.
No, I see top political contenders in the pockets of billionaire benefactors being assassinated(which can be more effective than wholesale revolution), by radicals before people attempt to overthrow the federal government.
