You are (rather badly) mistaken.

The reference is to a quote often attributed to Yamamoto.
And although it seems to be a false attribution, the quote is still accurate.

Essentially unixfox is saying that an overwhelming army of armed citizens are ready to resist tyranny if it ever comes to a shooting war.

That is why I asked. Thanks for educating me. 🙂

Sadly though, I see the ability to work in unison sorely compromised, and knowing who can be trusted is yet another obstruction preventing working together in unison as an effective unit. As we have evidenced by the FBI in several actions they have infiltrated or created themselves to entrap others. Such as the supposed assassination operation against Michigan's governor, Gretchen Whitmer, and the J6 Fedsurection operation.

In other words, it's far more easier & effective to employ when combating invading forces from without. It becomes far more difficult from enemies from within, especially when they are in control of the levers of power. Mainly because the ability of like minded people to operate openly & freely towards even a defensive posture, let alone an offensive posture, is not easily accomplished.

As it starts to break, we may find out what we can or can't accomplish, but even at my age I'm more than willing to find out. They had it much easier subverting this nation than we will have defending her, because there were no laws preventing them from doing so. We will have laws arrayed against us, along with the weapons they possess. Hopefully we can attrite from them to equal the playing field, along with some patriot military personnel who will join us in defending the nation.

It all depends on how deep the tyranny has progressed.
