    Invading a NATO ally is a whole different ball game than launching an illegal Middle East war. They’re only replaced, at my last count, 10% of the General Staff. That’s not nearly enough for total control and doesn’t count thousands and thousands of lower ranking officers.

      What makes you think they need total control? When has the American Military ever not gleefully committed crimes?

      There may be some internal conflict and discharges all over the place, but I think most of the military would be on board with it.

        On board with invading a NATO country?! Think on that some more. It’s not up there with nukes, but we’re well past merely fucked up geopolitics.

          The American Military has never had any qualms about murdering their own citizens. What makes you think they’d have any qualms about invading a NATO country?

            And when has the American military murdered its own citizens? A handful of National Guard at Kent State? That’s it?

            But let’s stipulate that they’re just fine with killing US citizens. Going against NATO’s military is a very different proposition.

                And yet you don’t have a single example to enlighten me? And nothing to say about my second statement?
