Not asking for that at all. I'm asking the Military to Seize the DOJ and FBI computer systems and data bases, and to conduct a investigation into treason. They do not have to wear their uniforms, if it bothers you.

What do you normally call it when the military takes over a government? A "military coup d'etat." That's what you are asking for. And how likely do you think that is going to happen? What do you think the populace would do if that happened? You are asking the military to completely subvert the constitution and "take over." I think that is a very poor idea and people who advocate such a move are very scary, indeed.
It is not a " "military coup d'etat.", as the Legislative and executive branches will remain the same. Only the Judicial branch will be under military investigation, for treason!!

Lmao. Why would you be worried about having to face an opposing force that can barely handle a few road side bombs and lone desert/mountain snipers/raiders.
If you think the US army stands any sort of chance in Urban Warfare, where gangs and the like would have a way upper hand and..well..nothing to lose at that point, i think you are substantially mistaken.
There will likely never be Martial Law, ever.

I m Not advocating civil war by no means i want Federal order, professionalism, And corrupt Politicians held accountable fully and swiftly
So you don't like how politicians and the government is handling things, so you want the military to do what, exactly?
I would like to see the Military IG and investigators take over the DOJ and FBI, and go threw all the information, and file treason charges against the guilty!
It is now blatantly obvious our Governments DOJ and FBI were infiltrated and taken over by treasonous agent provocateurs and enemies of our constitution. They are incapable of investigating themselves, to include the DOJ's own IG(even though he has exposed great damage to our government). Send the Military to safe guard all computer systems and data bases for criminal investigation. In fact, parts of our government have in deed been overthrown, by domestic enemies!
Thank you for that, it inspired me.

(Sigh) You have no idea what you are asking for. There is absolutely no precedent--at all-- for a "selective" military take over of even PART of the government. That you even think this is possible shows a massive amount of ignorance as to how the military can and cannot be used. It's hard to imagine the scale of the backlash if Trump, as Commander in Chief, ordered the military to "take over" the DOJ. In fact, the military wouldn't do it because it's an unlawful order. It would be utter and complete chaos. If you want a Civil War, that would do it. The chances of anything like this happening are so minuscule that it remains in the realm of complete fantasy. This idea is not in the least credible.

I'm not going to argue the point whether there is precedent or not. I believe there is but I'm not pursuing it.
Did you not read the link??

I'll tell you what. Let's put it this way. It's really very simple.
NO
And fortunately for the country, you're not in a position to dictate otherwise.
Suspension of Habeas Corpus
Is the belief that a coup is underway enough evidence to suspend Posse Comitatus or Habeas Corpus.
I'll address the first part of this question under this heading and the second part under the next heading.
The suspension of Habeas Corpus is discussed at Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution (pertaining to the legislative branch) and states:
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.

well the ROE that the military had was alot of the reason why. gangs also have no discipline and are cowards at heart.

The military wasn't created for domestic 'pacification'.
As an active duty service member, I see no way any reasonable person could think the use of a military force would be justified in these situations.

Discipline will mean nothing when you are taking it from all directions at all times from an enemy with more rounds and weapons than you. They also would have nothing, and I mean nothing, to lose. That's not the population you want to declare war on bud.
