WHY would a military just randomly "arrest" the entire country? Is it a coup? Was it shoddy leadership and they want to topple the incumbent?
Who said anything about a military randomly arresting a country?You missed the greatest reason why a military does anything. A military does what it is ordered to do by whoever is in control.
It's obviously not mind-rays and alien technology, so what's the exact story explaining that control?
The president orders the military to do a lot of things, and they are done. What are you? just plain ignorant?I'll even help you out, E.g.:
some military generals are in a meeting with the political elite, and there's tension because one side wants to cut the weapons budget and put the money elsewhere. After the meeting, the generals then make a secret pact to overthrow those clowns, and there's your coup in progress.
So who's "in control"? Nobody. It's a dynamic situation with negotiations and passing the ball around on the fly.
While you are correct in saying that no human being or group of humans is in control, still the military acts in a very orderly way. And it has objectives that it follows and accomplishes, even though there are often failures. So, how do they stay orderly and follow objectives? Is it by the aliens you talked about?some military generals are in a meeting with the political elite, and there's tension because one side wants to cut the weapons budget and put the money elsewhere. After the meeting, the generals then make a secret pact to overthrow those clowns, and there's your coup in progress.

If people are not in control, who do you think makes you post your silly posts?

In almost all cases, people in government are there because they like to be in control. Many of these people are control freaks. Usually, they own the military... at least as far as being able to command the military.
And Donald Trump could statistically be a very lucky idiot who got where he is today by a series of lucky accidents. Sounds like you're projecting evilness and malicious intent into the actions of others, when you don't know what makes them tick.You talk a lot like a troll, pointing out certain aspects of things, while hiding others that should be obvious to you.

Control freaks often like more money, usually so that they can get more control. What do they want to control? The people, of course. Why? So that they can tax the people for more money, of course.
If the people don't have guns and the military does, government leaders who control the military can take control whenever they want, via their military.
So goes your theory.If the people don't have guns and the military does, government leaders who control the military can take control whenever they want, via their military.

Why don't many of the governments of the world make literal slaves of their nations? Because everybody sees that American gun freedom works. Push the people too hard, and they will get guns, and you will be dead. At the very least, you will lose control.
I realise America is the centre of the universe, but why so modest?Quote
When you say slavery, what would they make the people DO? Work harder? Wouldn't they have to market it as some kind of utopia first?
Taxation is slavery.Folks, please pardon my picking on blablahblah. We can tell from the number of his/her/its posts that he/she/it talks a lot. But that's the way it is, isn't it? Those of us who talk a lot usually should be listening to what we say a little, right?
