If memory serves the last time secession was tried in the USA it ended in a war.
Anyone got the odds on a war breaking out this time if secession is tried?

obama propaganda. What was that woman during WWII who spread propaganda on the radio? Tokyo Rose!
This is the same thing. It’s from obama’s propaganda machine. It’s from one of his tokyo rose’s.
Does the article address the issue of/reason for, the Second Amendment?
Why do I suspect it wasn’t written by a Marine at all, but by some blogger trying to sound like a Marine ?
Well then we need some pics. Any woman that can hump her weapon 5 miles to the range, shoot 200 rounds, then run 5 miles home and take care of her kiddies would be the lust of FR......:)
“Whoever wrote it, Marine or not, presents some very valid and frightening points and these points really ought to be the subject of discussion.”
Exactly so. I had a discussion about a year ago with an acquaintance who had served for about 12 years as a Marine in armor. He got out as a staff sergeant the previous year. We talked about life in the military and whether the troops would follow orders or their conscience. We both came to the same conclusion that I stated in my last post.
Your unit is your family. It is very clannish. All else flows from that.
When the voice of the majority of Liberty loving Americans is silenced or ignored, or repeated civil attempts to stop the take over of an unwanted form of government are denied, it sometimes takes drastic measures to win it back.
Those of us who have served or are currently serving, understand fully what it means to give their life for their country.
“Country” means Freedom, Liberty, Justice, National Security and place to live our lives without threat. That threat can also come in the form of a government or Legislature that no longer represents us. Or that imposes laws, taxes, regulations and restrictions on us that we do not want or agree with.
When a government deteriorates into a corrupt and immoral Empire, it is no longer worth protecting. Our only recourse is to rebel against it and defeat it. Then rebuild it again in our own measure.
We have done it before, we can do it again!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in a well written manner. Regarding your last comment, you can virtually guarantee that this has all been gamed out somewhere in the Pentagon.
Wow big fella. Nobody here is advocating war. Secession maybe, but war, not so much. You might want to back off the caffeine.....
Do you still have any of those posts? because I want to know what the point of writing this is. Is it supposed to dishearten people in some way? I am not sure of what the reason for writing this would be.
Yes, the military WILL obey orders and they take them directly from the CIC/POTUS. What some consider a “marxist government” others will consider the duly elected representatives of the people - however marxist/socialist its policies may be. The only thing that might cause some to desert is wholesale slaughter of innocents, but certainly not gorilla warfare with insurgent revolutionaries - even those who think they are defending the consitution.
But then what did they hope to achieve? To dishearten us in some way? Or was it written to make Libs think that the military wouldn’t hurt them? I don’t get what the point of writing it would be.

Question is, WHO attacked the Constitution?
Congress and the President just compelled every citizen to buy a product. Which side of the Constitution is that on?
They would love us "Hayseeds" to leave. Then they could form their Utopia on earth, unhindered. War? naw. They want us to go.
Think about it.......They will be facing and killing regular people who they meet on the street, at movie theaters, ball games and who they have grown up with. This will not be some faceless enemy who has attacked our country or speaks a foreign language.
No, these “soldiers” will be the attackers and the enemy of their own country and people, ordered by their commanders to kill their friends, family and countrymen. In the name of a clearly rogue government.
This so called “Marine” who wrote this is no Marine I ever knew. The whole article is complete fiction.
Roger that. I read the full source article, without considering it is an anonymous blog. This supposed sgt c, got my blood up and I knee jerked my post. Thanks for the correction.
“Do you still have any of those posts? because I want to know what the point of writing this is..”
Sgt C has posted, a lot.
How Jiffy lube ripped him off.....
