Most of the military does not hate The Left. A few hate The Right. A lot more have no use for either side. Many believe their professionalism demands that they despise both sides equally.

If Obama wins, and is sworn in, and the Supreme Court recognizes the validity of the election, those troops who cannot stomach serving the new C-in-C will retire, ETS, early out, or keep their heads down until they can bail. The self-purged remnant will carry on, and if they are told to fire on American citizens, they will follow the ROE, safe in the knowledge that no insurgent stringers for the AP will be able to plant atrocity stories in Time Magazine.
