Republic enough, b) who would defend the country against tyranny, or c) who value the lives of the troops on the ground enough, to take some type of action to prevent this Neo-con administration from starting WWIII by bombing Iran?

There was a German Resistance formed to overthrow Hitler in Nazi Germany. Included were many military men of high rank and several government officials. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Resistance

i don't see that they can do much when Congress is enabling this shit.
