... the numbers don't really add up.

When the Allied Forces in WWII had moderate control of Europe they were supported by the WHOLE Industrial might of the United States and it took the most massive amounts of effort from most of the populace working, to the rest rationing back their intake, and even having kids go around getting scrap metal for the "war effort".
The conspiracy theorists who think that the US Government has the ability to logistically support a "tyrannical take over" of the whole country are idiots.
The peoples of the USA (at least 55% of them) would both say GFY and fight back. There would be no WWII style industrial complex to support a "take over". Stashed stockpiles might last weeks but the logistical aspect of such a thing means that it would never be successful.
Whats a more likely scenario than country-wide martial law and civilian extermination?
Answer: A simple coup/overthrow of a tyrannical government. Ultimately an unconstitutional presidency would fail to have ultimate control and a large portion of free representatives, backed by a large portion of the US Military, would simply walk into the capitol/white house and oust the unconstitutional president and cabinet....etc etc.
THAT, would happen before the whole USA was over ran by storm troopers.

Brent I wrote this a few weeks back. I researched what I could, based some things on history, and used some opinion based on my experience and little 'inside' information that have. Arrogant and I went back and forth some on the thread, but I think this lays an argument of high numeric superiority on our behalf. As arrogant points out we will sustain a massive psyops and propaganda attack which has already begun. Technological and organizationally they have us outmatched, at least intitially.

After some thought on his warnings about this propaganda problem, I do think it will have an effect on many of the non-veteran ranks. The mind requires hardening, that's why we have Marine Corps Boot Camp and Ranger School as just two examples.

What I take from things like this Alaska bill, whether it gets passed and enforced or not, are the levels of resistance the oathbreaking ranks among the Feds are likely to encounter. The writers and signers of bills have things like national guard troops under their command. They are privy to information that if leaked could counter disarmament attacks etc. The split I describe "STICK TO YOUR GUNS" is already showing it's head after only two weeks. Panetta addressing the troops shows they know and are worried about this.
