If the Obama Administration thinks they’re going to use the D.H.S. as there own SS corp they she be reminded that they don’t want to go that route.

The U.S. military fought in South East Asia for ten years with everything at its disposal and what did it get us?

We court in Iraq and Afghanistan for How long and what did it get us?

These politicians fail to learn the lessons of history that you cannot win a guerrilla war when the populace sides with the guerrillas.

If I were DHS I would keep that in mind before they do something to start a revolution in this country.

Both of those wars were fought against an external source of supply, the Soviets in Vietnam and the Iranians in Afghanistan. Fighting the long guerrilla war without functional communications, a command structure, or extensive cached supplies, and against an enemy surely willing to use biological weapons and drug gangs is not a pretty prospect.

No, I think it is you who has failed to learn the lesson of history. The better analogy to the war you envision is the American Indian. They lost, utterly. You are also failing to learn the lesson of the Torah, for we were instructed not to be so tolerant of evil in our midst, not to mention the logistical preparations found in Exodus and Leviticus.

You assume the populace will side with the “guerrillas”. I doubt it.
