then he’ll just use northern troops against the south and vice versa, and heartland troops against the coasties, and vice versa. plus he has UAVs, an air force, and tear gas. Lead can’t stand up to that!
Tell that to the islamic guys fighting our men in Aghanistan. Technology only carries so far.
As for using troopers from different parts of the USA, I dont know if that would work either. It wouldnt be like the Civil War because there was clearly defined borders. Americans are still Americans, no matter what part of the USA. It isnt in our make-up to fight each others. The CW was another matter because they didnt have the media the internet. We are all connected. And we are all know what is right and wrong.
That is why Obama would have to use, how can I say this, rejects from society. Ex Cons, muslims, Communists etc etc to make his reliable army. They feel excluded from America so it would be easy for them to shoot regular people.
Of course I may be wrong. In that case I will join you on the barracade and you can tell me “ I told you so”.
“Lead can’t stand up to that!”
It all depends. In the ‘stans, one of the major drawbacks for the locals is that our command and control structure is thousands of mile away and very difficult (for them)to penetrate.
We can sit overseas and observe or guide UAV’s on target to their leadership, and they cannot return the favour.
Here, it would be very difficult to keep the heads away from the reach of even a small portion of these 14 million registerd hunters. We may be able to keep out the crazies from without (not, IMHO without the protection of providence...), but it is not possible to keep every one in leadership here protected out to 500 meters all the time.
If UAV’s begin targeting Americans on American soil, the answer is not to attempt to knock them down with a few grains of lead, but to apply those precision guided projectiles to the heads of the ones giving the orders.
Which is the premiss of the article. There is no defense against a leaderless but determined number of people who have declared open season on the leadership of a country gone amuck.
