***W/o a total revolution & a violent one like the minutemen***
You think George Washington and the Minutemen would of succeeded against a military like ours today? Hell they have total control of the air, nukes, smallpox, etc.
25% of the Freepers who think they can pull out their hunting rifles and wave them against an oppressive government to solve problems will be dead within the first week of the rebellion. Most of the other 75% will have either surrendered or will run home to hide under the bed.
Stock up on vital supplies such as food and fuel because times might get bad but keep a low profile.
You are correct that a theoretical stand-up war would be an unmitigated disaster, and would probably end as you speculated. If the armchair generals here really wanted to fight, they would have to look at asymmetrical warfare. I sure as hell don’t want “the shooting” to start. That’s why I’m hoping that some kind of civil disobedience will work. If not, then all bets are off.
True if all of the military support Obama and his commie henchmen and the Freepers attack the military head on in traditional warfare.
If violence starts it will be a gorilla war the government cannot easily win.
I disagree. Most of the military and police will be on OUR side, not the government’s.
Also, insurgency movements can do alot of damage against a superior military force, as we unfortunately witnessed in recent years in Iraq.
Y’all saying Galt is a better model than Lexington? Do know this - we had better all hang together.
Personally, I’m expecting a model more along the lines that freed de Sade, early on.
