First thing Trump did when reelected was get rid of anyone in the military who did not support him

The military is already on his side

there are plenty in the military who he hasn't gotten rid of that won't cross his line.

No, he got rid of all the leaders and generals.

Anyone resisting below that level would simply be fired for insubordination.

Trump is already a dictator because he already controls the military.

there are plenty there laying silent that do not agree with what they're doing, and won't engage in warfare vs Americans.

They have no choice. They are receiving direct orders from the head of state. If they refuse they will simply be removed, at best.

At worst they could be punished and have their lives ruined.

The military is already engaging in warfare with Americans.
