I’m not as doubtful as yall. Remember when the GOP had hearing about the Woke military and why they were washing out so many “good candidates” (They were referring to those individuals rejected for having strong racial beliefs… Aka racist.) 49% of the military is under the age of 25. The data doesn’t separate Hispanics from white people, probably on purpose. But I suspect Hispanic it’s close to 20%. With 17% Black and 17% women I’m not sure this is a slam dunk for Trump. Yes the military is and always will be a right, male, and white dominated space, but their not stupid. Let’s just say trump pulls the trigger on fully occupies American with our own military. What percentage of the military do you think will just follow orders when you take in to consideration the demographics?
Also, 1 million people are in the active military, about 900k of them are in the US. With another 800k in reserve. The US population is 340 million. Even if every republican joins the occupation I don’t think they have the bodies to cover more than 2 states.
In my opinion I’m saying it’s a coin toss because the moment he does this there will be major fracturing within the military across so many lines the first shots are going to happen within the military before 1.7 million boots hit our streets.
I’m surprised individuals are not looking at the internal demographic data says about this take.
