while i'm not exactly a fan of martial law, plagues, republicans, or chickens:
i think it's important to recall that the military is not a completly blind institution. while significantly more conservative on average than a randdom sampling of americans, they are not completely divorced from civilian concerns. Many of them were at one time, have family that currently are, or plan on being in the future just that, civilians.
While i think it's important to discuss the militarization of police efforts, and some of the problems that can create...i think one outcome we can safely take off the table is that a president could simply order the hostile take over of the nation with a completly complient military to do his or her bidding.
