Free speech is more important in a democracy.

So there is no place in the world where free speech is more important. Nice.

3 F-16's will trump 100 rednecks with semi-automatics any day.

the real question is:
Would the soldiers kill their countrymen?
There's precedent for army rebellions under that circumstances.

1860-65

As I said, there is also precedent for teh oposite. That depends on a number of variables. Here in Portugal there was no bloodbath in 1974 because the soldiers didn't want to kill theri countrymen.
