If he begins to form and arm a CSF, I think that will be the catalyst and I think our military will kick their ass in no time.
Relying on the “Civilian Security Force” would be suicidal in a Civil War scenario. About the only thing they could count on would be that the CSF would fight to the death, knowing what was waiting for them if they lost or were taken prisoner. The CSF wouldn’t have the training, morale, and equipment advantages that make insurgent encounters with our troops so incredibly one-sided.
If they really want this, they’d need a significant buy-in from the Armed Forces to win.
