You make an interesting point...
But with that technological, informational, logistical support...
I believe that our side of the equation can and will sustain a campaign against this force, that will be un-sustainable for “them”...
Look at Vietnam...That is still a stinging reminder of how our government was shortsided in how to address such low-tech and un-conventional adversaries for the longest time...And that is NOT to short the efforts by the boots on the ground actually having to deal with the physicalities of such a force against them...They did what they had to do, the best that they could...And I say that to make sure there is no one misunderstanding that I recongnize their sacrifices during that time...
“We” have since learned form that conflict, and many of those folks are still around to apply that knowledge and experience today...
From a purely numbers standpoint, I beleive the numbers Sgt Giles presents is fairly accurate, and I am not going to throw rocks at the data...
But look at it this way...Even if only 3% of that ratio were to effectively fight out of the 230:1 information, that is still a sizable force...
The only damnng thing I can put against us is that the resistance WILL be extremely fragmented, uncoordinated, and spurious in its efforts...At first...But what may be drawn from that initial effort will be others who see this for what it is...
And we all understand that point...It is just that some people have different thresholds of tolerance to tyrrany and the attacks on our liberties and freedoms these days...
The fight CAN and must be taken out of the forces aligned directly against us if it comes to that, and I believe it will be very effective after the gauntlet is finally thrown down...
And whats funny...It won’t be one of “us” that starts this thing...
Just my opinion...
Also...Organizing draws attention...Nothing I have said here is old news, but sometimes it does draw attention...What is important is to know WHO YOU can trust without any reservations when and if this goes down the way they want it too...And the mutual understandings and support from that very small circle of friend(s) needs to be ALL on the same page, without any reservations or hesitation...
Security is paramount for achieving success...But make sure you define success before you set out on this path...
Again, just my opinion...You are NOT alone in your position either...
Mark for later reply.
Perhaps not a good analogy.
Every time victor charles popped his head up, it got blown off. Every time. The opposition was decimated, literally, to a man.
The only things that saved them were "official" ROE, and the US media.
Heck, Hanoi did not have a single missle left to shoot after line backer II, and a serious shortage of swinging richards old enough to hold a rifle.
I would not hold it as a fact that any loyalists, and the media especially, would be restrained similar to the fighting forces were during that fight.
