"Well the Wolf 7.62x39mm ammo seems to be vanishing somewhere these days, not much around here in any quantity right now."

Sorry about that. I was foolish enough to let my two stepsons have the key to the gun safe while I was away. Wolf should be able to catch up with production soon.

1 Million Ak's, and they might have equal the firepower to one understrength Marine division, on a bad day with no air or arty.

AK's aren't that great for repelling armor.

Very interesting.

So what was the third vision to represent? An invasion I assume, but from who?

[CodeToad]

I hope they buy tons of rifles. When their economy collapses I hope we can buy cheap rifles.

The third is an war where the USA gets invaded by armies from all over the world. Note the red in the cloud represents what? Your guess. My guess its communist/socialist lead.

Having quite a time tracking down whether Tony Sherman did in fact serve under Washington. He was in the colonial army at that time.
But Washington makes vague references to this vision several times afterwards.

They could have 10 million and it wouldn't do them a bit of good, we'd wipe the floors with Venuzuela.

Chavez also threatened to close down his government's US-based refineries if Washington decided to cut diplomatic ties.

Alas, then they would become blighted and we could seize them under eminent domain... and run them ourselves.

I can just picture it. One million idiots just sitting and waiting for an invasion that will never come. LOL

Those million rifles in the hands of citizens will come in handy for the eventual revolution that will finally overthrow this repressive government.
Worked for us in 1775."

Great point!

W-87 . . . isn't that the warhead that Clintoon sold Red China the plans for?

[Lauretij2]

That was the W88 actually.

Good evening.

Hell, I only need one of those rifle to repel both Chavez and Fidel, but my state won't let me have one.

Life is just not fair.

1 Million AK's could not beat even a rag-tag team of US gurellia fighters, not to say the least a well trained US military.

Okay Mr. Chavez, one rifle for one beauty queen. That's my final offer.
