It seems like a sophomoric question but I've never heard an answer.|||Each state has a National Guard,Air National Guard, whose 1st boss is the Governor, and 50 Governors won't/can't allow this to happen!! And in the event of a possible coup, theirs a million%26amp;1/2 ole vets would bear their arms!!! I'll never support gun control, as this may be our last defense!! And for those who indorce/believe that we live in a dictatorship now, just pack up your crap and go back to where you came FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||Timmothy McViegh took the aforementioned oath, yet it didn't stop him.

|||It's called "people rising up." Citizens would take a stand....and there are more citizens than military men. Much like the "farmers" vs. the military men. Remember history class?|||They could, haven't and most likely won't. The army is currently overextended throughout the world. If the military was to take over the government, it'd still have to deal with over 300 million citizens who would not take well to a coup. Also, the military most likely knows a stable government is best for the USA currently and forever, as can be seen from Burma and Pakistan, both failed militarily led countries.|||That would accomplish nothing. Why would anybody want to do that?|||Half of the leader's troops would mutiny anyways because they wouldn't be stupid enough to participate in a coup.|||Any coup in the making would be smashed like a bug. Really, that's not even a little bit feasible.|||the could not do that, legally, as bush controls unquestionably where the troops are mobilized and their actions. this scenario is illegal for the military to execute and would be discounted without anything happening to bush.|||Easy answer, it would be an unlawful act. I took an Oath to uphold the Constitution and will not betray that Oath. I served the C-I-C and if need be would protect whoever that might be with my life.|||its just not going to happen! thats what our military is there for.|||1. The American people are armed to the teeth.
2. We have a history of following the Constitution in broad terms.|||you didn't listen very well in school did you? or could it be that it is not being taught in school anymore? read the constitution and understand what it is saying. don't read it and understand what you want it to say like a a lot of liberals do.
outside of the legal reasons here are a few for you to ponder.
HONESTY
INTEGRITY
PRIDE
LOYALTY
FREEDOM|||Belief. That's right, I said belief. It is the simple belief in the things our Constitution and Bill of Rights stands for. The men and women of our totally voluntary military believe in the ideals stated in these documents. They believe, as do most U.S. citizens, that those ideals are what have made our country great. And so they have taken an oath to uphold those ideals even unto death.
If a General decided to pull off a coup he might have a small core of soldiers support him but the vast majority would consider it an unlawfull order and refuse to participate. Even act to stop it.|||Reality time folks
1 We are a nation of law and order though we whine never ending we love to see the bad guy put down its our DNA.
2. No president could ever be a dictator because he wouldn't last in office. Look at the heat JR is taking for Iraq
3 We use our VOTES to clean house from town government to the white house we have the say who runs the USA....|||i've had just about enough of that TREASONIST TALK by the "euroupian" If he were a U.S. citizen he should face a firing squad!|||Simple, it's called the oath:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

The military and gets more money than any other institution in America.. and that will never change. Now just because they are not running around in the streets and policing you does not mean they are not in charge..
As long as Ameicans's keep supporting blindly, the Military then the Military has no reason to put tanks in the streets.. It has already all the power|||the US does use military force to set up american dictatorships all over the world. dont kid yourself.|||/WHAT BUSH has done with the U.S. can only be considered as a dictatorship here.
Hes exploited every loophole, played every political hand,to create a dictatorship from within a democracy.
checks and balances is very very hard when you have half the government in support of this dictatorship, essentially stonewalling the otherside of congress from truly offering checks and balances.
The Republican party is just as guilty as bush is for allowing this terrible, ruthless evil group weaken our nation
