But I disagree with the percentage you present. Military personnel take an oath to defend the Constitution, not the president. I don’t believe more than 40% of the military are zealots. I think it’s far less.

That being said, I would rather see the theocratic confederate states form their own union rather than fight a civil war. Good luck to them.
