The military is majority conservative especially enlisted. If officers try to keep things under control Der Fuhrer could just strip them of their commissions and give them to anyone he wants to. Especially if his people run congress.
Congress and the president issue all officer commissions and warrants for warrant officers respectively. Who can stop them from revoking them if they so choose?
I’m not actually seeing a similar poll for 2024. They did do including veterans which is roughly 60/40. Regardless, if he treats the military the same way he did last time then any advantage among active duty troops will not last.
I hope you’re right even though a ton of members of the groups of people he has disparaged voted for him. I wouldn’t be surprised if the armed forces are among them.
Oh I don’t bring hope. Sorry about that. My point is it’s far easier for him to stand up a DOJ task force with drones and infantry veterans who self select to be in his personal unit. He’ll give them badges and armored vehicles.
The military resisting is going to be a moot point because SCOTUS already ruled that police aren’t troops, so these guys will be able to do all the things the Army can’t while effectively being the Army.

I don’t think you understand the command structure of the US Armed forces.

That is absolutely not how that works. Also while they’re conservative, they are not fans of Trump. The active duty military voted blue in 2020.
And what did they vote for this time?
