I have a unique perspective on the determination annd hardiness of Americans. It is an annual cycle out here.
I live in the midddle of nowhere. This area is touted on prepper websites, back to the land websites, mother earth news type websites.. point is most land out here is sold online, sight unnseen. Land is cheap, because this is hard. country to live in.
Each spring a new crop of buyers shows up, occupying the land they bought online.
In the past 6 years, 2 people(one a fammily of native alaskans) have remained, 26 people gavve up. 21 stayed 6 months, 5 left before six mmonths.
Americans, especiallly from cities, just do not have what it would take to fight a civil war.
My 16 year old son is excellent at piloting combat drone simulations. How are you at that?
I think that your concept of war is somewhat out dated and obsolete.
You can keep rural Alaska - nobody in their right mind would want to live there - which is why most urbanites leave.
Ive been to alaska but i live in arizona. i think two things:
we wont have a war, when the folks not in their right mind stop working at the power plants, cities are fucked.
second, i don't think you ever set a cornner post a full 24 inches in the ground friend.
Actually, I have fixed cattle fences before. I lived in the rural parts of the Virgin Islands - an area at least as tough as anyplace in Alaska or Arizona. I have cleared quite a lot of land with machetes & bush hooks. So cut the crap.
The urban people of this country would overwhelm the rural parts. That's because they have advanced skills, advanced industry, overwhelming numbers and FAR superior intelligence.
