Afghans in flip flops and rusty AK-47s have tied us up for 10 years.

18 years, Laz!

Hell, I was there in 2002.

That’s true. But if they can’t kill us, they would like to make like miserable.

Rule 1: Avoid crowds.

Rule 2: Avoid cities. They are just crowds with roads.

Yes. But on a huge scale.

This author is ignorant. The Mujahideen kicked the crap out of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in a war the Soviets could not win even with all their modern technology and weapons. The Soviets fought for over ten years but eventually gave up. The Mujahideen accomplished this largely with half century old British bolt action rifles, while the Russians had jets, high tech helicopters, night vision and by comparison, unlimited money.

Afghanistan, the “graveyard of empires”, swallowed up the British, Russians and now us. A fools errand.

And the Americans flying them are going to open fire on fellow Americans? You’re f**king idiot.

And suppose they find some jackass who would fire on Americans. I bet the crew chief and everybody else involved with said gunship would have some input.

If the voting booth is honest but what happens if elections are not honest. If there was an uprising of constitution-loving patriots against the leftwing globalists in govt, would the constitution-loving patriotic military turn on the people to keep the fraudulently elected America-haters in power? Or would many soldiers, or even entire divisions of soldiers, desert, and join the patriots bringing their weapons with them?

It would be a terrible thing to happen but I think if given enough provocation the sons and daughters of the pioneers, the pilgrims, and the patriots, and the grandchildren and g-grandchildren of the greatest generation, would remember who they are, and would rise up and take remove these people from power.

CW2 will not happen under our present circumstances. Since we don’t know what would be the events to bring us to that point we can’t speculate on our willingness to fight the fight. In 1776 and 1860 certain events caused people to risk life and limb. We may be different people at the present time, but don’t underestimate us when push comes to shove.

"Active military: the wild card in CWII."

Yep. If the author doesn't understand that the military is not a monolithic, unthinking entity then he's really not someone to be listening to. If things ever get so bad that we are killing each other then the military will be tearing themselves apart too.

It's really a moot point though. We're not going to be allowed to have our active resistance. Things are going very well for our betters and they have no need to take the risk that a civil war would entail. One or two more generations and they will have their new order. No muss, no fuss, just a nice gentle walk down the road to hell at a speed the the herd will accept.

And here I am thinking it was the shoulder-fired AA missiles the CIA provided the mujis that proved to be the tipping point against Ivan.

“We could have them begginig for mercy in a week.”

Even 100,000 men acting independently could shut down the entire country in a few days. Maybe just one full day.

No plan or organization or congregation required.

APB for 100,000 independent operators.

Yeah, right.

Jeez you do not have to go back that far: Al Queada and ISIS are two recent groups; or the Kurds.

Ol’ Jeffrey has no imagination. He cannot imagine a scenario other then two armies lining up on a field.

What a complete load of horse hockey. This moron has likely never touched a gun, or never been outside the DC/Boston/NY corridor.

He/she/it has NO IDEA what it's like to live "out here". We have our OWN water sources, and if necessary, our own power. We can grow/slaughter our own food. This guy apparently is dependent on FedGov for his very existence.

Out here, we practice our marksmanship all the time. Who's going to tell us we can't?

All those tanks he fantasizes about have drivers. They all have to pee sometime.

There is NO WAY everyone in the military will sign on to, for example, door-to-door confiscation of guns. No way will every member of the armed forces agree to, for example, blockades of American cities.

Media citiot knows nothing.
