Does anyone realize how many troops it would take to enforce martial law on the ENTIRE USA? It took the Wehrmacht 400,000 troops to occupy Yugoslavia in WWII. Yugoslavia is not that big. That is a lot of troops, it was one of the reasons why Hitler never made it to Moscow, subduing Greece and Yugoslavia took to much away from the eastern front initial punch. Seems nobody knows history anymore.
