1. Military wont turn on the people.
And we are already under marshal law, if people in some positions are threatened to keep them silenced, or not allowed to speak openly.

Although it could be economically enforced. If it moved to attempts of military force, that would just make it seen easier.

Including by the 1000s that served in wars they now know are for other reasons, so they wont turn on US citizens as easy as some think.

Hence why 'security firms' are often used, and why there is even a concept of not using troops in ones own country.

But anyways, would there be less then no beer and travel money?

As long as people see what is being done, and enough try to do better in the end it will get better.
