That is just as myopic as the misconception on the Right that they are the only true defenders of American values and everyone else is trying to undermine America.
The Military is an all-volunteer force comprised of people of all races, creeds, religions, sexual-orientation, and political opinions. There are hard-right, hard-left, moderate, centrists and "agnostics" who join up because they believe in this country and want to serve.

You do understand that nothing fundamental has changed, don't you? The hyperbole from both sides is purely campaign stagecraft designed to pump up their voting base and get them motivated to vote. We are still as free today as we were on 11/05/[insert whichever year you choose] and we will still be just as free 4 years from now.
People got worked up about Bush and the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act, and Guantanamo, etc etc. But when you get real and stop believing either side's propaganda machines, we're still a free country and you can pursue whatever economic, social or religious path you choose.

They wouldn't join the rebels, they wouldn't slaughter fellow Americans, and the president wouldn't ever issue such orders.

Doubtful. But it's a moot point and speculation.

Even though it's moot, there is a huge difference here: We fought insurgents overseas on land we had no stake in. If there were ever a homegrown insurgency on US soil, it would be a horrible slaughter on both sides because both sides have no place to pull back to, as both sides would have roots and a stake in defending their land.

No doubt. But eventually they'll run out of ammo.

Good thing. Nobody should entertain thoughts of revolting against the United States. It's the french who are revolting.
