I wonder if those troops picking up trash in D.C. are going to be all-aboard the Trump train. There have been numerous retired military generals and other officers critical of Trump and I expect there are a lot more who take seriously their oaths to the Constitution. While I don't see them overthrowing Trump, I can imagine that some, perhaps many, would resist taking unlawful actions against U.S. citizens.
