Will US Military mutiny if ordered to disarm pro gun lobby?
Serving Solider's answer to Do pro-gun people think they can fight off the US military?

Ironic if US Civil War2 was fought over the principal to bare arms against your own government? Outside of the US this seems very strange. Just sayin.
Also you would not be in the US Military from when you took up arms against it.... (more)

That is true. I would not be. My point is that the military, for all intents and purposes, would cease to exist. Sure, there'd be fragments of flesh that hung on to what is left of the rotting corpse, but, functionally, the military would be inoperable. Tanks and planes don't drive, shoot, and maintain themselves on hopes and dreams. The thing about having an all volunteer force is that most of your volunteers tend to be similar in their point of view. This is especially true of the National Guard and Reserves who are literally neighbors in the same community. The kinds of people that would be willing to use the military in such a way tend not to be the type that volunteers for military service. The exodus of personnel (and any equipment not bolted down) would be extraordinary.

wow you are talking military mutiny! If every soldier did so then that would be a coup! To avoid that the government would cave in. Is USA ungovernable then?
