    I love this argument, because in reality the U.S. government hasn’t won a military victory against an entrenched militia since Grenada. And that was just a tiny island. We couldn’t beat the taliban, who were armed with a bunch of cold war surplus gear.

    Even if the U.S. military and police forces wanted to fight a civil war against their own population, they would have to do so knowing that the American public has 100 guns for every soldier and cop.

    Tanks, planes, and drones can’t do much without soldiers on the ground to enforce an occupation.

      I see you’ve fallen for the propaganda. The Taliban only came back after we left. And only because they had enough support from the people. AQ and ISIS are shattered. Al-Shabab is basically the FARC of East Africa now.

      I know you guys think you have some kind of “silent majority” but you really don’t. Given a choice between normalcy and living in an insurgency, most people will choose normalcy in a heart beat. So it won’t be the military vs the people. It will be the militias vs the people and their military. At best you’ll get sizeable chunks of some red state populations. Just imagine how thrilled the other 90% of the country is going to be that you chose violence. Yeah, they’re going to cheer videos of Apache gun cam footage on live TV. And you’ll still be clueless.
