“Of course we would have no chance fighting against our own military and not much chance they would kill their own people either.”
It would be them with no chance. The US military hasn’t been able to nail down Iraq and Afghanistan with 15 years to do it. Texas alone would soak up the entire US military.
Our military is tailored for fighting elsewhere and would be abysmal here. On their own logistical tail, it would be their nightmare. Every fuel and supply truck would be a target.
The enemy would look like the people. Our bases are not secure perimeters.
The world is full of examples of how it would look. Look in South America, look in Mexico. Look right here in our own hemisphere. A drone operator in Nellis likes to go into Vegas and drink. He is lured in by a woman and found dead. He never knew what hit him, or that the woman who killed him buried her brother, husband and father 3 months ago. They were killed in a drone strike. Soldiers families would need protection and bases would need massive actual protection, not just gate guards. An air base commander opens a letter and sees photos of his little kids walking into school, with crosshairs on them....
Everything our military uses is made in unsecure factories. Their MRE food is contaminated...at the factory.
A car bomb blows up at the drone production corporation which is based at an airport.
The raytheon plant where hellfire missiles are made is horrified one morning to see 6 engineers abducted and handing from an overpass. Nobody goes to work and they demand protection. The 10 million+ Remington 700s out there suddenly seem to be everywhere.
Nobody working for the government is immune and is left in terror. This is from the postman on up.
The internet and communications are heavily impeded. The economy begins tanking. The only way to even try to get enough soldiers to fight is to strip bases around the world. National interests everywhere start to suffer badly.
Remember the scene in Red Dawn, a bomb went off in a Cuban army recreation center. A tank rumbles down the street and stops at the scene... swinging its turret impotently.
Yes, we would have a chance. And they would not. The civil war people dream of would be more murderous and vicious than anyone dares imagine. No sane person would call for it. And no, the US military is woefully unable to crush down on the American people if they were to rise up. It would make the Balkans look like childsplay.
The only dreams I have of CWII are nightmares. I would add that every sane person should be working to ensure that it NEVER happens.
