      Every single person in the military swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.

      Domestic enemies like Donald Trump pose a much greater threat to our country than any conventional combatant with a gun or missile - the military is already oath-bound to engage him the same way they do any other enemy.

      The inaction from them so far doesn’t paint a very promising picture regarding their willingness to actually do what’s right to protect our country; but we also don’t need the entire military to unite against that traitor: we just need a single one of them with the right training to apply through skills.

      Servicemen and women: please actually do your job.

        you obviously have no idea what “do your job” means here… military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

          You’re sorta missing the point. Nobody is talking about having the military issuing parking tickets here.

          It’s about Trump running for office, and Congress/the courts saying “no”.

          Who does the military listen to? Do they obey Trump’s orders to enforce his will at polling places?
