Why do people who always assume the soldiers are necessary compare them to the Red Army, as if the US military and the Imperial Russian Army are remotely comparable? The Kerensky government literally could not ship soldiers to the front faster than they were deserting and the Petrograd garrisons rebelled specifically because they did not want to be sent out. Almost the entire Imperial military were conscripts who were in some of the worst conditions soldiers have ever seen. If we ever get to a situation where the average US soldier is an unwilling conscript looking at something akin to slowly dying of gangrene in a freezing cold trench to carry out an imperialist war on behalf of a self appointed government that doesn't even offer them anything for their service then yeah, reach out to the soldiers, engage in Trench Bolshevism. However, as long as the troops have air conditioning and 3 meals a day they will serve the bourgeoisie.

Everyone wants to pretend that revolution in the imperial core will be bloodless, or that we'll just be getting rid of the fascists, and it will be as quick as October. This is utopian. It's going to look a lot more like China after the fall of the Qing except probably even worse. Once the US military ceases to be the 'US' military because the US ceases to be 'United' then maybe the soldiers can be radicalized.
