The military is like the rest of us; part republican, part democrat, and part apathetic. A lot of low income people go into the military to further their education and get a job with benefits. If they actually see that tRump is taking that away from them and trying to get us in a war, they might get wise to him.

It’s not the soldiers who decide which side to attack. What side are the leaders on? Will the lower level officers obey the generals? They have been very quiet. I don’t know if that is ominous or it signals impotence, paralysis. I suspect we’ll find out within 10 days or so. Maybe within hours. Perhaps they are making a list and checking it twice, and they’re not Santa.
Some of those generals are hold-overs from Trump's 1st term and are very much with him. We can only hope the enlisted men and women will be willing to disobey any orders from their superiors that are in conflict with the oath they all took when signing up.

Soldiers DO have to decide whether to uphold their Oath and refuse to carry out illegal orders. I am a veteran and know how I will respond.
