9/19 Any chance that a military coup happens here in the US? Nobody seems
to worry things like this.
\_ Citizen army of volunteers. Also, notice that there hasn't been a
military coup in England for well over 300 years.
\_ The money in this coutry already has both the government and the
armed forces at their beck and call, so there's no need for a
military coup.
\_ None. That's why no one seems to worry about things like this.
\_ What is being done here to prevent this altogether while other
countries have to worry about such thing? All I know is that
the US military is not supposed to talk about politics, but not
talking about it doesn't mean they can't quietly have a view.
\_ basically, we prevent it by giving the military everything
they want. -tom
\_ typical useless agenda driven reply.
\_ snide uninformed counter troll.
\_ None of those things. Correct, precise, accurate.
\_ Random yermom double entendre.
\_ Double entry on yermom? how...interesting.
\_ DVDADO.
\_ Dude. Is that even possible?
\_ Modern and civil countries do not have to worry about such a
thing. Most of western europe, the US, Canada, and Australia
have no reason to fear a military coup. Compare those to the
rest of the world such as Africa and Central America where
coups are a relatively common occurence. Rule of law and
civilian control of the military as well as functional
electoral systems and a tradition of respect for civil
authority keeps modern nations safe from their own militaries.
\_ Read the 2nd Amendment.
\_ right. you and your gun-nut friends are the "well regulated
militia" the second amendment refers to. i'm not a
proponent of gun control for other reasons, but the idea
that the US milinary is afraid of a bunch of citizens
armed with legal weaponery is laughable. the iraqi army
is better armed than you and your local gun buddies, and
we will soon see them get slaughtered--again.
\_ Well regulated? It's all about fiber, son.
\_ I'm a big 2nd amendment supporter but that's not what keeps
western nations safe from their own militaries. You might note
that the other western nations have very strict gun control laws
compared to the US but no greater odds of a military coup.
\_ What do you think happened in December of 2000?
\_ What do you mean? The election? |
