Funny thing the socialist mind. It would be incredible to watch a president like Obama turn from reluctant C-in-C to a war monger in chief. If a state(s) were to declare sovereignty suddenly all the animosity that should have gone towards our real enemies will be ignited against the wrong foe. I hate it.
You can bet that all the worry about the “Laws of War” and “respecting” the locals would go straight out the window if the Federales were suppressing a grass-roots uprising.
