Our Only Hope?

I've thought about this for a long time, and wanted to share it with the ATS public...

Of all the possible scenarios which could take place over the next few years -- economic collapse, civil war, totalitarianism, nuclear and/or biological attacks, globalist takeover, currency change and control, depression, unemployment, starvation, riots, revolt, on and on...

.. there have been many suggestions, particularly here on ATS, about how we can and should act to prevent such dismal times projectedly ahead -- suggestions such as an armed civil uprising, peaceful protest, mass boycott of the IRS, establishment of alternative societies/communities, etc. etc.

all of these ideas have merit in one way or another; what keeps coming back to me is this: it seems the only way we could ever really overthrow the control system that has hi-jacked our republic would be for the military itself to turn on their very leaders; let's face it: even with a partially armed civilian public, our might could never stand up against the might of the military itself; the coup needs to happen from the inside; history is loaded with examples of this; the good news is that the U.S. military is made up of people just like you and me; all they have to do is stop following orders, take up the arms at their disposal, and overtake their leaders, all the way up to the whitehouse and the federal reserve.

I think it could happen; the disenchantment with finances alone could spark the 'inside' revolution.. yet, I don't know much about the inner workings of military life; I know that loyalty and respect are big principles in a general sense..

I'm interested in everyone's take on this idea, particularly those with direct military experience; am I totally crazy to think that we could overthrow the control system if the military began to speak for us rather than their so-called leaders?

to my mind, this is our only hope, since all the power lies in the might of the military..

Who would you be fighting? People whos job it is to be a poilice officer? or maybe that boy that followed his fathers service into the millitary? That guy that dispenses food to the hungry masses?

You are only hurting yourself.
