    The gist of it is, the military defends the US constitution, not the president whims. Obviously, some may not see it that way, but if the general army changed direction each time the president changed, it would cause some problems.

      Canada might crack the military into the faithful to the constitution vrs the loyal to maga.

      Panama or Greenland I figure they would try to minimize loss of life but they would just do it. Blowing up your career for a symbolic gesture or risking civil war in a mass revolt wouldn’t be worth it.

      (Some might give up their careers, the ones with high integrity, maybe a lot of command. But they would be replaced with loyalists)
