In my life, I have had the benefit of seeing much of the world. Military brat at birth, I traveled around a lot with my parents; from Iceland to Korea.... I saw a lot of sunrises. I joined the military myself shortly before 9/11 and traveled even more. To....far less glamorous places.

I try to be a student of history, mainly in regards to socioeconomic changes and how industry drives cultural shifts. I find people to be barometric, in what quality of life they will tolerate. The results are always fascinating. Historically speaking.

I see a lot of posts on here, and other places, calling for the military to step in seize the Government. I see people demanding the military seize and manage elections. I see demands that the military seize and appoint judges to the courts.

It just does not make sense to me. From the standpoint of history that never ends in anything OTHER than a dictatorship.

Where does this belief that the military is neutral and non-bias come from? What leads people to believe that military controlled elections will be fair? How would you protest if they were not? What makes anyone think that a military dictator, once in power, would not shred clauses to the constitution they did not like? Why would a general, that effectively seized control of the most powerful, and richest, country on earth.....walk away? Why instill any other leader, when they HAVE it all.

I understand the desire to right the wrongs, and the ultimate need to be balanced and corruption free, but historically.... every military dictatorship starts by promising that. It just never actually frees people. How is that the way?

Power corrupts. Money corrupts. You would be handing a force you cannot control....both of those things. All because you believe they are incorruptible?

History teaches no one, and nothing is incorruptible, save Jesus.
