THE END OF THE EMPIRE? — boagie
The potential for a total breakdown of the chain of command along partisan lines — from the top of the chain to squad level — is significant should another insurrection occur. The idea of rogue units organizing among themselves to support the “rightful” commander in chief cannot be dismissed.
Better to look south of your border. It's a better example. There the country isn't in literal civil war... at least in the capital and many parts are tranquil. Yet a total of 350,000-400,000 have died from organized crime homicides 2006–2021. Yes, that's a lower body count than the Syrian Civil War, which has killed 400 000 - 600 000 people.Did you know that in 2018 about 20,000 people lost their lives in the Syrian civil war and that roughly the same numner of people died by homicide in the US in 2021? Civil war? Yes, there's a civil war ongoing in the US. — Agent Smith

Folks in the know are predicting a civil war in the US in 2024 — ZzzoneiroCosm
Sounds like Senator Palpatine creating fear to use as a reason to seize more power and to become Emperor.At the same time, three retired generals wrote in the Post that they were “increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military”. — ZzzoneiroCosm
Yeah.But the generals finally get to the meat of the matter when they suggest odious state and military tactics to silence dissent and mutiny. — NOS4A2

That's what people thought in Weimar Germany, actually. Have the NSAPD brownshirts fight the Rotfrontkämpferbund of the Communist party, so they will everybody else alone. Didn't go that way.BLM and the Good 'Ol Boys should just agree on a time and place in some dark alley and have at it and leave the rest of us alone. — Harry Hindu

Hey, if you're a 36-year old mom and your 4-year old daughter is with the grandparents at another city for the weekend, you go with your husband to parrrty!!!At least In Finland your leader gets to go clubbing. — NOS4A2
What does that even mean? It would appear to mean that misguided and deluded - and stupid - people are poised to break the law with guns. And for that, the police themselves have guns.Folks in the know are predicting a civil war in the US in 2024. — ZzzoneiroCosm
Of course. Only retired officers open their mouth ...and for a reason. Basically it's the Commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that speaks on behalf of the armed forces in this kind of issues. And he has had to make points that usually one doesn't make. Like mentioning that the armed forces is there to defend the constitution and doesn't pledge allegiance to any person (like you do).

Actually, the government then didn't recommend avoiding contacts. We had just "opened up" and for those a) that have two vaccination shots and b) aren't in the group who have medical issues or c) are not old, partying was accepted. The government is just now (today) implementing (again) tough new measures.Not if you’re leading a country and should be avoiding contact with others, as your own government recommends. — NOS4A2
There was no insurrection. — NOS4A2
