If our disloyal (and increasingly desperate) opposition were to precipitate the worst, then I'd guess we'll never see the multiple mutinies, the fraggings, the "choosing of sides" along com/non-com fracture lines. Might hear the concussions from afar. But any news of it would be via samizdat or citizen radio.
And as always, refusing to make a choice is a choice in and of itself. "Neutral Ground" will become virtually nonexistent.
