"Even those citizens who continue to maintain such antiquated views must face the reality that the United States’ armed forces are too large and too powerful for the citizenry to make much difference. Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd."

I wonder what this moron thinks would happen to the mighty US military if even one fifth of the American people rose up and seized control of or destroyed it's support base?

That's probably what he and his jihadi buddies are hoping for.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. The majority of the US military wouldn't go agianst the US population, mainly because they are taught to THINK FOR THEMSELVES. The armed American population would not have to face the military, this guy is just writing propaganda for the liberals in large cities who feel threatened by little old ladies with guns.

The military is not exactly a liberal stronghold, I'll be standing right beside them.

Junaid M. Afeef on the other hand will probably be standing against the US military, but then that will be his problem.

He probably doesn't realize which side the military would be on. If something were to happen that would cause insurrection on that large a scale, it's quite possible that the military's artillery would be directed down upon Washington, Berkeley, San Francisco, and so forth rather than going door-to-door confiscating people's weapons.

If it came down to that, most of them would join us. Hell, most of them ARE us. Consider that the backbone of the military consists of my Scots-Irish Southern and Midwestern cousins.

Liberal sissies go to the academic ivory tower, and rely on people like us to defend them from the barbarians. And what thanks do we get for our sacrifices? We get labeled as genocidal baby killers.

So to hell with them.

Not only that, but if the situation became so bad that the citizens rose in armed revolt, much of the military would join them – and take their equipment with them. These people don’t seem to be aware of history. When the War Between the States erupted, how many Union military officers and men joined the Confederacy?
Our military is not separate from the citizenry. They are not mercenaries but citizens themselves. If the situation became that bad our politicians could not depend on the military or the police to defend them. Even in China the tanks sent into Tiananmen Square stopped when a citizen stood his ground. When the Soviet Union fell Soviet tanks and soldiers joined the populace in Moscow.
