This thread is depressing me now. I hope tomorrow's question is "Which baby animal--that zikzak would never defile Ina public place--is cutest? Answer in pics only!"
different admirals and generals would take different sides. unless one side somehow identified loyalists beforehand and began with a surprise bloody coup, it would fracture the military where, ok maybe 6 whole army bases go confederacy, and one out of 20 nuclear submarines with icbms pledges union. it'd be stalemate. nukes are distributed throughout the country and internationally, so i doubt it would come to bloodshed without some kind of surprise massacre of top brass. if i were a top admiral or general i would not attend any fancy game-of-thrones style weddings under this administration
