If borderline neo-Trostkyite Jeremy Corbyn, who almost became UK PM, could he have counted on the loyalty and obedience of all in the British armed forces, they knowing that he was hostile to them and that his agenda was possibly subversive to the UK's interests and that he might even want to disband them?
Throughout history direct from the ranks of the military have arisen those like an unknown Corporal Napoleon Bonaparte, a Sergeant Idi Amin Dada, a Colonel Gadaffi, a Flight Lieutenant Rawlings, General Musharraf etc etc, to overnight take power.
With so many thousands of troops packed in to DC, one can expect that at least one, even low-ranking charismatic officer or subaltern with enough of a loyal following of men, is thinking of taking power, should Trump or Biden falter in the coming days.
Will the US military swear undying fealty to a President Kamala Harris, whose ideology is perceived as being un-Americant?
