what would the soldiers in the military do?

micro- In that desperate scenario, I believe the military would be divided just as would be the citizenry. Some would remain loyal to the oppressive regime and others would join the revolt. The loyalist military would fire upon civilians with impunity much as looters are reflexively shot in a disaster scenario. A hostile, armed citizen would not be considered to be a 'civilian', but rather would be classed as a 'criminal'.

I also believe that the situation would devolve rapidly into complete chaos as the electrical grid fails and supermarket shelves empty.

Pray we never get there.
