I like the quote and suppose nobody in our military will support a coup. But does the fact that all ten former secretaries of defense put out that warning indicate the military is solidly loyal to the constitution or that that some of them are misinterpreting it?

Well...clearly the ten support our laws and constitution...rumor has it that 45 has already tested the waters and received pushback from existing military leaders...but tRump has also installed his sycophants everywhere so who knows what he can get away with. He can try to keep firing people until he gets what he wants, but there is a limit even to that tactic...he can’t fire the courts, he can’t fire Brad R etc. It is clear when he is frustrated as he lashes out on Twitter. The Seditious Caucus is a “clear and present danger” in my opinion which is not helping at a time when we need more stability.
