A military coup? While many fear our loss of freedoms, not so many see it happening in the form of a military coup. Our nation is set up with an elected leader as the commander-in-chief. Perhaps that is part of it. Have we ever, in all of more than 200 years, experienced any military leader rising up, taking control of a military unit, and commanding it to fight against either the government or the people?
I'm not student enough to know of any small incident. But, if there had been a significant one, we'd all be aware of it.
The thought of the military rising up against our government, in opposition to it, is not a worry, to most. But, the idea of the military or federal law enforcement being used by our government to subjugate us is perhaps not so foreign. I think of the reports of the government buying up all the ammunition. If any leader or group of leaders brought weapons against us, the people, to tear the government away from the people, that, to me, would be a form of a coup.
