Hey....Remember when a few years ago when the DHS released a report saying that there's an increased likelihood that domestic terrorists could be recruited from the army and the tools at FOX and the rest of the right-wing lost its shit at the suggestion?

Here's another example of how they were wrong...as always.

What makes these wackos interesting is that they wear the uniform of the United States Army. Silly Pansies.

Thankfully, they still have Marines.

There's been no shortage of ex-serving members wanting to kill the president. Not really anything new except that these idiots were caught before carrying out there threat, as far fetched as it was.

$1:
Four US soldiers plotted to assassinate Barack Obama and overthrow the government


Four soliders were going to do all that, eh? My first reaction to this was, "Yeah, you and what army?"

Seems to me that this is either a fully fabricated made-for-TV event that's just in time for the election season or else these soldiers are exceedingly ambitious...which is not a common trait amongst low-ranking enlisted types in the Army.

It's not without historical precedent for a very small group of soliders of suprisingly low rank to overthrow a government. Maybe not something on the scale of the US government... but it has happened more than once.

Mali 2012, a Captain lead a sucessful coup d'état against the elected government I've read number in the mid 30s for core members.

Muammar Gaddafi at the rank of lieutenant, in 1969 lead 70 troops mostly from the Signal Corps in a bloodless coup.

Siamese coup d'état of 1932 was started by 7 men only two were in the military.

1980 Liberia suffered a coup lead by a Master Sergeant.

Most succesful coup d'état are conducted by higher ranking officers which implies that many of the soldiers under their command would follow their orders. Which sorta implies that low ranked members that lead a succesful coup do not have large numbers under their command.

Four is not several.
