Estimated number of “committed” insurgents in 2005

“5,000 to 7,000”

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02/08/iraq.main/

Ok...so Iraq is closer to the size of CA and bit smaller that Texas...still of the estimated some 20,000 insurgents at peak..only 5ooo to 7ooo where “committed”

Iraq is about the same as texas in size and population..

I bet there are a hell of a lot more committed gun owners in texas alone,than 5000 to 7000 people out of 21 million.

Then what the hell are they going to do with the rest of the country while they try and subdue texas?

Assuming the entire military engages and doesnt actualy break to stand WITH texas?

Also assuming the texas nation gaurd would stand down...which they wouldnt I’m pretty damn sure...

Also assuming the US military would even be willing to go shoot the frak out of Texas...

Size and scope.

Sure it makes for a good movie script or a novel...but another american civil war is pretty much beyond reality...

And that’s would it would take to subdue America..

Wholesale slaughter and outright heavy warfare.

Not gonna happen....not from OUR guys...
