According to this Daily Kos diarist, the BushChimpHitler thing is about to declare martial law! We’re doomed! Doomed, I say!
Luckily, the military’s “broken,” so we don’t have to worry. Whew. What a relief.
Daily Kos: Martial Law Threat is Real: Good Thing the Military is Breaking Down.
If ordered to turn their guns and bayonets on their fellow Americans, would our “heroes” in uniform follow their consciences, and their oaths to “uphold and defend” the Constitution of the United States? Or would they follow the orders of their Commander in Chief?
It has to be a plus that National Guard and Reserve units are on their third and sometimes fourth deployments to Iraq, and are fuming at the abuse. It has to be a plus that active duty troops are refusing to re-enlist in droves—especially mid-level officers.
If we are headed for martial law, better that it be with a broken military. Maybe if it’s broken badly enough, the administration will be afraid to test the idea.
Does that qualify as “supporting the troops?”
And will Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and John Edwards ever be confronted over their pandering to people who think like this?
