solders and cops aren't robots. many of them hate the regime as well and eventually give in and join the other side, as is happening in egypt now.
like i said, know your history.

OK, here is where I will agree with you. If you were discussing a developing nation or some 3rd world shit pot, you are 100% correct. It can be done and sometimes is. I've seen it with my own eyes.
I've been in the middle of three large scale riots (foolishly taking photos) and I've been there to watch the people change their government, and I've seen them fail.
1) Venezuela 2002
2) Thailand 2006
3) Thailand 2010
It is absolute fucking chaos. But such a thing is to be expected in those types of countries. It is expected when you have a class of people so poor that they have nothing to lose. But he United States of America? No way. That sort of rebellion has been bred of the people, but even if some did get a bright idea or it even looked like some group might get out of line, they would go down like the
Branch Davidians in
Waco. And you see how well that worked out.
