If our government got far enough out of hand and the people violently revolted, the military would not necessarily take the side of the government. The French Revolution was a success because so many of the royal guards took the side of the revolutionaries and helped overthrow Louis XVI.
I don't think our military would turn against it's government.
At the very end the soldier sounds very sympathetic but when asked if he would shoot an american citizen he answersyes...
A VERY large amount of the military will take this standpoint on it. The ones that take the peoples side will just be dishonorably discharged and treated as traitors to their country. If you don't believe brainwashing happens in the military, your dead wrong. A militia or any violent physical force WILL NOT SUCCEED.
Our military is trained to fire on Enemies of The State. The government's enemy becomes the soldiers enemy....
What we would have to do is gain control of the military, and to do this we need to get someone in the presidential seat that fully and whole heartedly agrees with the people. Not some schmuck bought and paid for by companies and organizations that benefit from our debt.
Then if anything is tried against the people by any other part of the government that requires a militia, well, then any militia created by the people will hold the military as partners in cause and not a threat.
"There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

Have you heard of the OathKeepers(.org)? They are a group of active military and veterans who have pledged to uphold the oath they took when they were sworn into the military; to protect the constitution against any enemy, foreign and domestic.
