I think the military is much closer to revolting then people realize. Those guys and gals may well be tough as nails, but they're not stupid.
It was around this time - in terms of 'climate' - that fragging started in Vietnam. Of course, the draft played a major role, but now there's a different wild card with the same or greater influence: retired generals and other respectable people who have spoken out against the cause that soldiers are actually killing and dying for.
This isn't the only time-bomb ticking, but it could well be the next one to go off.
