All the ingredients are there and it won’t take much to put it all together.

    I fully believe a good portion of our armed forces would split in half. Then issue would be which half is in charge of all the toys

      I don’t know how it is now but when I was in the US Army there was a sizeable chunk of men that were militia members that hated the government but joined the military to get combat training.

        Bear in mind a sizeable chunk of that sizeable chunk were probably being edgy barely-post-teenage shitheads. It’s a version of the guy who would have joined but [whatever] and besides, he’d have punched the drill (sergeant/instructor/daddy/etc.) on the first day of training. Some assholes just always have to be different.

      Looks like you forgot why Trump shuttered Stars & Stripes.

      It’s not even close, especially among officers.

      Security of weapons has been a long going thing and I’m starting to understand why.
