I am really leery about these men and woman who talk off the top of their heads with no proof or any idea of who they are.
It sounds conspiracy theory.
Is she in the government?
Where is her proof?

Personally im not impressed with these annomious people who say things as if they know.
Being a reasonably polite person I have to ask how does she know?
I get no real answer. Which is an answer of sorts.

Not sure about her claim about Serbia and Milosevic. I do know that South Korea was able to head off a coup when the people peacefully protested the military recently.

hate being used as pawns by Trump, and how awful the conditions are for them on deployment. They express how they joined to support their communities in times of need, not to stand around like useless extras for Trump’s theatre. Many are saying they won’t re-enlist. The more we all show respect and support for them, the more likely they will refuse to use violence against their fellow Americans. When the military turns against an authoritarian regime and joins the people in the streets, it’s all over.

This is an excellent opinion piece. I wholeheartedly agree with her on this. Protesters should make it clear we’re against the regime, but support the troops who are there against their will.
