9. So, the Republicans have been working to put their kind in high places, including the military.

I can only hope it's not working, that the rank and file will resist being used against us. I know when I was just getting out of the USAF, Reagan was taking over (I had about two weeks of him as "CiC", and it was a rough time. We knew what he'd done, the Iran hostages being immediately released (and later more stuff). No one I knew, and I knew lots of people through my job, enlisted and officer, would follow any unlawful order.

Let's pray, hope, whatever, that it's still so. Because if we have the military against us, we are done for.
