90. You think HegSeth won't have generals and some lower level commanders ready to seize power from the officers and NCOs

who refuse to follow Trump and go against the Constitutional order? They've already fired or driven out leaders who refused to follow and issue illegal orders. White nationalists have been encouraged enlist. There will be those in the ranks who will turn weapons on fellow service members that refuse to go along with Trump's treason and there will be others looking for leadership from those who try to defend the Constitutional order. I believe that those wanting to follow the Constitution will be in the majority but if Trump tries to stay in office, there may be a contention for control possibly even a fracture. Hopefully, based on recent reports of Dan Caine not wanting to give Trump the nuclear codes, everyone will honor their oath and immediately place Trump under house arrest and arrest Vance, Rubio, and Hegseth, Patel, and Pulte.

Who will the Texas, Utah, and Montana National Guard follow? The DC Guard? Trump had Texas DOC ERT and TX NG clear Lafayette square and they were in Portland as well. He's used to putting enough loyalists in the mix to have a majority for coercive control.
