    I mean, the Air Force is run by an Evangelical cult. It doesn’t feel like a huge stretch to say that the guys with the guns (and flying machines that create tons of Good Troops LOOOOOOOOL) will end up in charge in this scenario.

      By that note, the vast majority of the Navy is Protestant, and the Marine Corp is highly Catholic.

      I would place more money on the Navy being in change in a Junta scenario if I’m honest. Plus, which branch is going to say no to the guys sitting in nuclear submarines? The air force with their aging bombers?

      The Navy is also twice the size of the Air Force in sheer size, and they operate the worlds second largest Air Force funnily enough. Plus the navy is one of the few competent branches that would probably fare well in a combat scenario, unlike the Air Force which is used to dropping a few bombs on civilians and not facing any opposition.
