>>What Internet? What phone system? What electricity? What water? What sewers? Not exactly the stone age, but dang close.
The same cell phone system that Afghani terrorists use. Do you think that 6 million square miles of the USA is going to be razed to the ground overnight? You folks seem to think that this will be some grand and glorious uprising where tens of millions of patriots come screaming out their houses all at once to defeat the federal troops. Insurgencies in the modern age do not work that way—if they ever did.
You don’t have to raze 6 million square miles to cripple an economy and it is much easier than you think. You overestimate the task but the poster who commented on civil war in Mexico is the one to listen to about the cost in lives. That is why this is nothing you enter into lightly but at what point do you put your liberty above your life? We all have to answer that for ourselves.
BTW, cell phones require ground based infrastructure.
