That is true. However, there is a point at which the military, or at least significant portions of the military, will simply not comply with the orders of the ruling sociopaths. Whether the military personnel have philosophical objections to the orders or they simply fear the consequences of opposing a people which has achieved the critical mass to free itself, only those with the moral high ground will be able to persist. So be smart, follow their rules for a while longer, but also be outspoken in your objection to society as it is. Maybe even talk to some military personnel if you know some, to get the seeds of dissension planted.
Brighter days are ahead.
