How would the military allow America to become Socialist?
January 26th, 2010 by eranio
If Obama really wanted to implement even the most crazy of the fears of the right like; a Socialist America with slave camps, indoctrination, and worst of all more gun control. How, would the military allow all this, would they just blindly follow orders until we all had ID chips in us and there was a one nation world.
No man or organization can rule America without the army. So, I wouldn’t be so worried.

If you do it slow enough, it might not be noticed by the army. It’s like the frog and boiling water phenomena.

too late.
we have socialized police, fire, armed forces, libraries, highway systems, farm aid, corporate welfare, courts, airline inspections, water and drug safety inspectors and on and on.
you don’t like any of this, then don’t drive to work or turn on a tap for some water or ever call the police or fire department.
you are about 150 years too late with your shrill, frighten, small and traitorous comments basically suggesting that since wacky righties can’t win elections anymore that they are now OPENLY HOPING FOR ARMED REVOLT.
have right wingers gone completely insane??????
hoping that the army takes to the streets against american citizens???????
america – love it or leave it!!!
don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you…

But what if (as relates to any extremist takeover, whether it be far-left socialism or far-right fascism), the military believed they were doing what needed to be done to defend the nation?

Are you trying to encourage a military takeover? How right-wing and militant, tyrannical, really. Anyway, the U.S. isn’t becoming socialist.

You’re a mindless Obama-zombie. You do not think, therefore cannot be worried about issues like this. I’m sure every dictatorship believed that they were also safe because of the military, too.

He couldn’t.
The military (and police forces actually) are organized in such a way that it would be impossible for anyone to do that using the military. It’s far too easy for a "rogue" officer to do something against it in that situation.
The military is WAY more trustworthy than the politicians.

What the hell are you talking about?

Other than the gun control, it sounds like a GOP wet dream. Conservative seem to be into the authoritarian vibe.

Slave camps, indoctrination and gun control is not socialism.

They would have to follow direct orders from the Commander in Chief. No, that’s not to say that the orders might somehow get miscontrued along the way

There has been indoctrination in public schools.
Liberals own that.
Liberal’s have been indoctrinating since hollywood.
Where have you been?

maybe he is removing the officers with balls quietly as you speak. no?
or the congress that the dems control is slowly taking away military funding. That usually does it more efficiently.
Beware the fox is already inside your henhouse, farmer Joe.

Don’t think that well ever happen The military is 85% Conservative During Jimmy Carter time 3 high ranking officers had to resign on th e Q/t as they openly talked of standing up to Carter as they felt he was trying to disarm America

in america, the military is subordinate to civillian authority. read the constitution. the power of commander in chief of the nation’s military is vested solely in the person of the president. as long as due process is followed in changing the laws to establish even a communist society, the military would have no choice but to submit to the authority of the civillian government.
pray that the generals continue to obey this precept. a military dictatorship would be far worse than the darkest nightmares today’s republicans currently have about obama.
