And the Democratic People's Republic of Korea claims to be democratic.

I mean, you don't wanna be relying on it anyway. You wanna fix the issue before it comes to that. But fundamentally the military is an institution of many hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Sure, they do what they're ordered to for the most part and that includes stuff they don't personally agree with I can imagine, but the oath to the constitution and those ideals is taken at every level and largely taken pretty seriously, especially by lower level leadership.

In general, military forces in democratic countries consider themselves the *last* line of defence for that country's institutions or values in peace-time and an overthrow of someone in power by that military is about the last thing they wanna do given the consequences for the country after it happens.

The US probably needs to exhaust a bit more of that "we the people" bit before it comes to a military action.

I mean, it's worth a read to get that "Man, this writing is poor and the arguments a kind of junk" feeling.

Haha, looks like his younger days too, before it all went downhill and he became a Mall Cop.

Yeah, lionhead / angora cross :D Which gives her fur a very different texture to most lionheads, and means she does not shed her coat.

She's a mess, haha. She's a angora/lionhead cross lop with pale harlequin markings!

Would you look at that, Security Researcher in the house! I've always thought it was a cool field, but didn't know where to start learning.

Sad times. Although I can't hold it against Krillin, he's since become the best dad.
