Afghanistan is a great example that shows a fallacy in your thoughts.

Sure, it would be tough if an opponent was willing to use a scorched earth campaign where they kill everyone regardless of civilian or combatant. But, you need to read some history and perspective.

And, when Colonel North mentions how great our military is he is speaking of the people, not the particular weapons.

>>”Afghanistan is a great example that shows a fallacy in your thoughts.”<<

If you’re implying that we spoiled and fat Americans are as hardened as the Afghan rebels then you should have your house checked for Carbon Monoxide levels immediately. Open a window and get some air.

I remember how hard it was to pry the Afghan fighters from their X-Boxes and plasma TV’s just to accept our Stinger missiles to fight the onslaught of Soviet Helicopters. LOL

If you have spent your entire life living in the desert eating goat meat (when available), suffering sub-zero winters with only the skin of a goat to protect you from freezing to death and enduring 120+ degree heat in the summer (with little water), then you can say that you would be an effective ‘freedom fighter’. Until that time comes, which it never will, I say we would be grossly outgunned no matter how much we love our freedoms. Playing Rambo on the computer is not living it. All the tough talk and quotes from our founding fathers will not make one bit of difference when the SHTF.

Read “The Inside Story of the Soviet Withdrawal” by Diego Cordovez and then get back to me about ‘reading some history’. Until then, just STFU and go have a big breakfast loaded with saturated fats and you better clean your Ruger 10/22 again. That extra box of 50 shells you recently bought will come in handy when you have to take down that Blackhawk.
