Kind of like how they flat out refused to help control the riots in Los Angeles after the Rodney King verdict? Oh, that's right, they followed orders, blocked streets and were prepared to shoot UNARMED US citizens if they were told to do so.
Every member of the military won't do as they are told. Many of them would refuse to attack fellow US citizens, but there are some that would follow orders and do what they are told. A handful of military guys in helicopters, planes and tanks would flatten just about any militia uprising in no time.
It's not like the entire country would rise up against the government. Half of those eligible to vote don't even bother. If they can't be bothered to get off their ass for a few minutes every four years do you think they are going to take up arms?
