Former West Point Scholar Writes of Overthrowing Obama


“What if the American people were to elect a president who want[s] to destroy the nation and works to create division among the people, encourage a culture of ridicule for basic morality and the principles that made and sustained the country, undermine the financial stability of the nation, and weaken and destroy the military?”

Bradford writes. “What remedies, if any, did the Framers commend to us in the event a tyrant should every assume the presidency? Do the people have the right to resist a tyrant, and does that really hold any prospect of success without the support of the military? Does the U.S. military have the right or even the duty to intervene in the domestic politics of the United States as constitutional and political savior when the times require it, and who makes that determination?… Is such a duty incumbent upon the U.S. Armed Forces at present?”

The title of Bradford’s essay might be an allusion to a previous treatment of a similar theme:

Brig. Gen. Charles J. Dunlap’s essay “The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012,”  was published in the Winter 1992—93. It was in an issue of the U.S. Army War College journal Parameters.

Bradford appears to believe that a coup might be a “duty” incumbent on the military, Gen. Dunlap – writing from a constitutionalist, rather than praetorian, perspective – was clearly alarmed by what he saw as an entirely plausible scenario.

Such is the legacy Obama is forming.
