A number of years back, I participated in a business trip with several others that stopped for a few days in Missoula, Montana. It was certainly "Big Sky" country, memorialized in numerous great songs, stories, and tales. One night, after dinner we sat watching the parade of pickup trucks and cars travelling down the streets with gun racks in the back windows, populated with weapons of choice of the locals. I remember commenting that "this is why there will never be a foreign army capable of occupying the USA. There are simply not enough loyal military personnel in any country in the world that could control all the people that live in cities like this across the country."
Unfortunately, Montana may be losing such a place of honor.
