Two Vets say US is becoming a dictatorship but military won't go along with it

18. Whether or not there's an election in 2026 will indicate if the Military will need to take action.

If there's no election, despite there being elections during all the Wars there have been during the time there's been a United States of America, then our Democratic Republic is officially on life support starting to flatline.
I'm trying not to be flip or hair on fire, but a lot of officers are not happy and are starting to choose their words very carefully.
Y'see, most of them understand what it takes to be an officer in a corrupt government; a lot have worked with those types of officers, and there's all sorts of studies about what happens to officers who care about successful missions, or their troops, or even "saving taxpayer dollars and optimizing resources" - because in a corrupt or idealistically authoritarian government - the Kleptocracies, the Theocracies, the Oligarchies, the Dictatorships - the only mission is to protect the ones in power. The Military becomes the Mercenary.
Citizens, the average Soldiers and Sailors, hell, any concept of civilized society be damned.

Once we have no more elections, the Military leadership will have to make their choice.
Along with the States.
