You really think there will be an armed rebellion, and a bunch of hillbilly gun nuts will defeat our military. That's just pathetic.
I don’t think there will have to be/ I don’t believe the military would move on civilians. Not even for Drumphf.
Only an idiot would think that is a real possibility. I do see the possibility that a few idiots might pull more shit like at that bird sanctuary a few months back, and force having to be used to pacify them, but an all out civil war, like those crazy gun nuts keep talking about is just insane.
The problem is, you have numerous examples of people who caused much harm and refused to be defeated. It happened in Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan to name a few. And those people had far fewer firearms and far fewer resources.
I find it amusing that when the subject of a civil war comes up, someone always posts pics of fighter jets and tanks. No, a group armed with ARs will not take out fighter aircraft and tanks. But will you bomb urban areas because SOME of the people there are insurgents? Will you bomb churches, YMCAs and community parks? That will go over really well. And the insurgents will have the ability to publicize the armed forces killing innocents. And a few more will be anti-gov't. They will show videos of people being tortured. And a few more will be anti-gov't.
Whether the rebels can defeat the US military is not the question. Whether the US military can put down a civil war without creating more enemies is the question.
Do you really believe a civil war is a real possibility? I'm not talking about Darrel, and his other brother Darrel, and a few other hillbillies from down in the hollar. I'm talking about enough people who think armed conflict is the only possibility. Sorry, I just can't fit that into what I know of reality.
I don't think it is likely. But I can see situations where the gov't can massively fuckup and start one. The handling of the stuff at Ruby Ridge and with the Branch Davidians show the possibilities.
Yep. That turned out pretty bad, I'm still not convinced the fire wasn't started inside the building. Even that wouldn't have brought more that a few hundred that were willing to go to war. I suspect most of the prancing from the militias was just prancing.I won't tell you not to worry about a civil war. If you are inclined to think that is a real danger, nothing I say will convince you differently.
