God's Own Lunatics by Joe Galloway

A very little known fact was when Nixon was looking like he was going to get impeached an entire battalion of First Cav Armor was loaded on a train in Ft. Hood and was waiting for Nixon to declare martial law.

Fascinating.

My father (Army) got the word at that time that general officers had been told on quiet channels . . . that were Nixon to attempt to move elements of the 82d Airborne Division to Washington DC . . . that those orders were to be absolutely disobeyed.

Your account is the only confirmation I've heard that unusual things were going on in DoD at that point.

Cheers
