      There’s a 100% chance that would result in me being killed without actually accomplishing any service to our country.

      The wild part is we’ve got an entire military full of people who do have the means to make it happen, and are oath-bound to defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic… but instead of acting on their oath, they just keep following the domestic enemy’s orders like good little Nazis.

      If one of those folks could actually do the job our tax dollars are paying them to…

        The oath is important and sounds good. But it’s also extremely simplistic. No definition of what “enemy” means. For the armed forces, maybe you could say said enemies would be those attacking and occupying territory.

        We’re not paying them to attack the people who won the last election. You have a problem with that, you should talk to the 10 million or so people that made that happen. Trump didn’t take over in a coup, we handed him the country.
