Obviously no active duty member can DARE to comment on this question, and no veteran can without risking some serious "spot correction". I'll take that risk by answering thus-Not only no, but Heck No! We have our problems to be certain-BIG problems, but to instigate, conduct, or support such an act would be trampling over the sacrifices of every one of our brothers or sisters who fought for the freedoms we currently enjoy and often take for granted.
A military coup would not only destroy our representative government, but open the door to God knows what horrors. In the middle would be a large section of the innocent population trapped between the radical notions driving it...and the "loyal" component charged with stopping it at all costs. Millions of people who simply wanted to live their lives in peace would be thrust into a Civil War with so many factions, the end result could only be darkness...chaos...and blood.

Everything you just mentioned drove our revolution in no uncertain terms. The only light from that great cause is the experiment we call America.

When you have an administration making up the rules as they go along...having the supreme court make laws....that I feel are clearly a violation and not constitutional.....not defending the borders as they should be.....putting a wedge and dividing the country.......if you have a government not following the Constitution, then perhaps this may be a good idea...
It's either this or enforce the laws....stand up.....congressmen and senators and those who are running the country should act like they care...stop bickering with one another...and work together...and for pete sakes...when people break the law or do unlawful things like Hilary or others...no matter who they are or how much money they have or how powerful they are...do the right FREAKING thing and prosecute them...stop letting so many in higher positions get away with the crap they do and think they are above the law.

To Cpt Glenn Keels of Austin Texas and SFC Darrell Ingrams........: INSTEAD OF JUST GIVING A DOWN VOTE...why don't you voice your opinion....if you disagree with what I said and others then state why instead of willy nilly down voting so we can understand why you gave us the DOWN VOTE.
After all I covered both sides of why I may possibly follow a coup or what could be done and therefore I wouldn't follow the coup.....
So PLEASE EXPLAIN yourself. WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU NOT LIKE ABOUT WHAT I SAID!
I read all of the comments made...and there were many others with the same thoughts as my self so I would like to know why you choose to vote me DOWN on what I said.... Help me understand. After all everyone is entitled to their opinions and how they feels...and I would understand that you GAVE EACH AND EVERYONE who Said something remotely as I did, but you did not...so what is it about what I said that you don't like so much???
Talk about it. Express your feelings...after all that is exactly what this board is for.

No, I'm sorry. I can't support that argument. Historically what you propose leads to things that are much much worse and establishes the military and not the people as the final arbiter of our freedoms and our republic. I understand your frustrations but I don't believe you honestly understand what you are advocating. This would be the end of the Republic.

We have the highest deportation rate and the lowest illegal crossing rate of the last 100 years, and that includes the surge of youth at the border last year. So how are we not defending the borders?
As for the Supreme Court making laws that are unconstitutional, which laws would those be? The Supreme Court is currently majority conservative, so are you talking about the travesty that is Citizens United that allows unlimited anonymous campaign contributions? That is far worse than allowing two loving people from marrying.

It doesn’t bother me that these threads pop up on rally point, it bothers me that these threads pop up on rally point so often. So many people on the site pledge themselves the United States Constitution, but lack the fortitude to actually allow the United States Constitution to work. I don't remember in the United States Constitution where it says the United States military holds the trump card, and all actions by the people of the United States, and their government will be subject to the consent of the United States military. A military coup would only serve to destroy the Constitution, if you think otherwise you do not understand the Constitution, nor our form of government.
I think the best assessment of the situation is to consider that if the United States has become such a despotism that it requires a military coup then why in the hell is it not suppressing this discussion? Why is the United States is under such a tyrant does it feel like some new group is capable of holding a rally outside of the capital every week? If you’re sitting in your house preparing your weapons to overthrow the government you don’t need an army, you need a psychiatrist and a padded room.

Good points, and I do agree with you that a coup would destroy the Constitution. Look what happened to Rome after Caesar "crossed the Rubicon". It brought about the end of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire.

It is unconstitutional. No matter how disappointed someone may be with the government, we have enough leaders that realize our purpose and why we serve, that a coup would never happen.

Inflammatory even in being asked of a military forum. Fuck no, I wouldn't support a coup. I would, however, support the executions of any who take part.
