    Sounds like a good way to turn the US military into a mercenary
    organization.

    More like a new Praetorian Guard.

    No shit. This could happen. All volunteer, career military is
    particularly susceptible to this kind of stunt.

    We'll see after the mid-terms. If he loses, there'd likely be gradual
    move towards currying additional personal support from the military.

    He *really* likes the exercise of power. He's not going to want to give
    it up, legitimately or otherwise.

    I guess I have more faith in our all-volunteer military than you do, Saw.
