Ok how about a source from 2018 from the Undersecretary of defense, I sorry for using the heritage Foundation as a source.

Look at the share of recruits by neighborhood income level graph, the rich are almost absent but the upper middle class and middle class are overrepresented, with those earning less than 40k a year slightly underrepresented.
Yeah after closer inspection the heritage Foundation document is pure trash. While the neighborhood analysis is flawed, when combined with other data it paints a picture. Military recruits are more likely to come from the southern states, more likely to have grown up in wealthier neighborhoods, and no more racially diverse than the general population. They aren't exactly ripe for communist radicalisation. That doesn't mean Americans shouldn't try, they should absolutely try to radicalise the troops and get them on their side. But at the same time Americans should not be surprised if the troops turned on them in the same way the police and DHS have, and definitely should have other plans than just radicalising the troops.
I'd argue you that they don't and can easily believe that they're doing the right thing by killing the person who they're being told wants to kill them.
You know, the whole right-wing MO, the thing that all Fascists believe.
What you likely would do if a Fascist came to kill you, kill him first.
