Not inane, but in fact based in reality. Tell me a non 3rd world country that has been overthrown by citizens in the last 30 years without the assistance of the military? You can't, because it doesn't happen. Referencing military actions against governments who didn't possess dominant air superiority, complete control over communication networks, and artillery that can inflict devastating damage from miles away, is simply wishful thinking and furthering the delusion.

Not to mention, the people in this country who are the most willing to fight the military in this scenario are the same ones who find it abhorrent that people would disrespect them by kneeling during the anthem.  So we are going to attempt to kill our military heroes now?  Or is this based upon the notion that as soon as they attack citizens they become evil and are now no longer our heroes?
