Would you support a military coup in the United States?

No. Besides the fact that the military would be a horrible excuse for a governing body, to support the Constitution is to realize that if radicle change to the government is needed it must be the will of, and initiative of, the people - not the military. There is a reason there is no provision for a large standing army in the document itself.

Only if our military agrees to obey knowingly unlawful orders, would it ever be considered.

I will plead the fifth. I took an oath for all enemies foreign and domestic!

Hard to say really. Like most people my gut reaction is to say no. But thinking about it for a few minutes I realized that we've had coups in our country before, namely the Revolutionary War.

It's not feasible.

However. I could however see the Military (CJCS) taking charge to re-establish order in the event of a catastrophic "political coup," or until we can swear in the next in the order of succession:

The major issue with the premise is that every Officer, and every enlisted is sworn to the Constitution itself, not to the military. Our loyalty is to the Nation. Therefor the second we find out that it is a coup, it we have each man "below" gunning to restore order.

The first thing that came to mind for me was the "Business Plot" and Gen. Smedley Butler.

No. In all circumstances I serve the President of the United States, whomever that person may be at the time. We have elections and Constitutional government. A coup is not necessary. More to the point, a coup is treason.

In a heartbeat, Yes. It may be the only solution for ridding ourselves of O'Dummy. How long are we going to wait as he dismantles the military, demoralizes the remainder and does whatever he wants without seeking the constitutionally mandated approval of Congress? Something has to give and I honestly believe the only answer IS the military.Does "All enemies both domestic and foreign" ring any bells?
Thanks Sgt Aaron Kennedy,

yes

No - No further discussion needed Support and defend the Constitution unlike our Politicians

Nope, swore an oath to defend the Constitution. Even if I didn't agree with how the government was running the country, I wouldn't. It's not like we have a totalitarian government, it's a democracy the last time I checked and we vote for our government officials. It's just not the person I am. I would not fight my own countrymen and women, only protect them. And I thought that's what we in the Armed Forces are trying to do.
