There’s always that old saying about not messing with someone who feels they have nothing left to lose. That can happen at any stage of the destabilization and those folks are extremely unpredictable.
Your Dad and my Dad (he was a Quaker who still joined the Brit Army) both went to protect our freedom in WWII, and believed that the government was looking out for their countries best interests after they returned. For the most part, my Dad believed that the ''Government'' was honest and looking out for the best for us all, and some of that rubbed off on me, plus I was busy working and taking care of my own family. Sad to say I no longer feel that way, and Obama scares me.
It may come to pass that "Red Dawn" or "Dragon's Fury" are prophetic -- but that would be the start of the long slide into feudal dictatorship and the new Dark Ages. Pray God that eventuality is a long time in our future. Be well, FRiend.
