This Marine believes the US Military would essentially be canceled out by violent division and mass defection within their own ranks.

That would leave the 10% of the nation who would be combatant Patriots to go up against the 26,000 members of the FBI, the 120,000 IRS and ATF agents and any remaining stray armed feds...total around 150,000.

In other words we outnumber them in the vicinity of 200:1.

Know this about yourselves, American Patriots !

200:1

You bring up an interesting point. We could see military units loyal to the president fighting units loyal to the Constitution. We could see racial divides within units with mutinities galore. We could see the Army versus the Navy -- and I'm not referring to football.

But there would be enough military men loyal to the man who pays them to make this Marine's statements a reality, unless of course the US dollar becomes as worthless as the Zimbabwe dollar.

In other words we outnumber them in the vicinity of 200:1.

But the use of WMD's could equalize that. Lincoln had only two WMD's at his disposal -- Grant and Sherman -- and he used them both.

Something else comes to mind. You may have noticed that at the Capitol rally the Capitol police had assault weapons on open display. Had the Tea Party members attempted to storm the Capitol, I have no doubt those weapons would have been turned on the demonstrators. I suspect they had a shoot-to-kill order if things got openly violent. I also suspect that Pelosi's walk with her gavel was intended to provoke that violence.

I'd be willing to bet that there were army units on alert at various bases outside DC, and those troops had been briefed that morning with the words, "Gentlemen, today you may be called upon to kill American citizens." As one who was an army officer from '71 to '73, I know those troops would have followed those orders.

I remember all too well, at Ruby Ridge and Waco, what happened to people who dared to raise their hands in defiance to the federal government. Upon receiving resistance, it is government policy to escalate and escalate until the government wins. Ever since 1865, the federal government has insisted on the last word in the use of violence, and I don't see that changing.

Great post. I also belive that this article is a plant from a leftist and not from a Marine. The Marines I know would want to kick his arse.
