If we started a revolution to topple our corrupt government, would it be possible for the military to join us?

Question

Do you think that the men and women in the military would follow their hearts or their orders?

Answer 1

Possible , but highly unlikey. Secondly, I don't think you have any idea what is in the hearts of the men and women in the military. My guess would be that  their perception of our government differs greatly from yours. And who is the "we" that you are referring to about starting a revolution, you got  a mouse in your pocket?

Answer 2

Good question! I fear it would be a blood bath overall, but some troops would no doubt fight to restore the constitution and the will of the majority as the law of the land.

Answer 3

if U can find a government LESS corrupt, why don't U simply MOVE THERE! Note: advocating violent overthrow of the Government is a Federal Offense.

Answer 4

Yes the military would / could. But the US would probably Balkanise & the population would split along racial lines.

Answer 5

We have a freely elected government. I would join the force to quash you.

Answer 6

Militaries are often enlisted to overthrow the government.  Take for instance a military coup:

Happens all the time.  Trendy.

Answer 7

If it was you wouldn't be at your keybord typing you would be dead if thuis were China you would be dead rite now.

Answer 8

Believe me, if the Marines wouldn't change and follow John Brown at Harpers Ferry, you're out of luck. If you start the revolution, you can end up the same way brown did - hanging from the gallows. And who are you to think you know what's in their hearts.

Answer 9

depends, military would split depending on beliefs. and there is no "us"
