Good post!     Here's what it all boils down to. In almost every army in every era of the world, the army has been prized, but also feared. The leadership always fears the barracks. That is why soldiers are actually the most disarmed people in this country. I carry my firearm 24/7, soldatos have to store their rifles in the lockup/armory, unless they are in actual combat. If they have their rifle in hand any other time, they have no ammo.  Even in combat, only the officers are allowed personal sidearms. This is so they can shoot soldiers who don't obey them. Soldiers are first disarmed, Put your rifles in the armory, then the officer with the 45 has the power of life and death over the grunts. The rifle is for the enemy, the 45 is for the privates.  ZOG is worried that the army, or portions of it, will disobey oders, and these orders will no doubt be issued soon. How can you disobey any of the orders? Your rifle will be in the armory, your personal firearms confiscated (with you not home to protect them) and then you will be ordered to do something unconstitutional. If you refuse you will be arrested or shot. Any mass refusals will be answered with a few public shootings with the 45 by the officers to 'inspire' the rest of the troops who are reluctant. As far as fragging goes, the officers, when they order you to do disagreeable things, will be standing behind you, 45 in hand. They've been taught all about 'fragging'. In their book it is better to be the fragger than the fraggee.  You don't put your pack on if you are not going to march. This portends of things to surely come. The Reds will not lose the guts to do it either, they're just slowly revving up their plans.
