The military is not on your side. It is there to protect your Ancestral Enemy, the state. It will defend them from foreign threats, but also from you.
The military doesn't defend your freedom. The only freedom it defends is the freedom of political criminals to continue violating you.
Every time the state's interests and your rights clash, the military will take the side of the state-- that's who controls it and signs its checks.
People who were once in the military, but who have escaped the brainwashing, may be on your side. They aren't going to be defending the military.
