Okay, just wondering. If the US was attacked and our government quit, surrendered, do we have the right to continue to fight?

Yes. To the bitter end, whatever that may be, if we so choose. Ultimately our government is We the People, not our elected representatives in Washington.

I think the question would be if would we have the will to keep fighting if we were in the state that Germany was at the end of WWII. Total devastation, all the major cities were rubble and almost every town and village had been damaged to some degree or another. Also the Germans had the Russians occupying their west and they were more scared of the Russians by far than the allies.

My Uncle, who was a forward scout for Patton, told me how they could have easily been in Berlin two weeks before the Russians. His unit was meeting no resistance as they went forward and finally had to stop because they were out of fuel. They bedded down in a German village and lived among them. There were no men or teen boys as they all had been sent forward to try to hold off the Russians until the allies arrived. My uncle's unit help the villagers harvest wheat and they traded with them, their rations for eggs and such. His unit was written off as MIA as they were cut of from communication and it took the U.S. army two weeks to catch up with them. He told me Patton was told to stop but his troops had orders to move forward. They stopped Patton by shutting off his fuel.

My uncle hated Russians and commies until the day he died, much more than he hated the Germans. He actually had respect for the Germans and the Wehrmacht. He hated the Nazis.

Another thing, it was the first time my uncle had used a sickle. He said it took a bit but he got used to it.

I’d say we would have the duty to continue to fight. I’d be hoping some of our SSBNs still had a full load.

It is OUR Constitution not the government’s. We have an absolute obligation to re-establish our liberties and freedom, to restore the nation. MAGA!
