If Texas seceded Obama would send in the troops to do a Sherman's march to Gulf of Mexico

What troops? They are mostly deployed worldwide. The troops in the various forts in Texas are either from Texas or would defect to Texas. The US Army would be the captive not the capture. Texas National guard could be ramped up to 1 million is about a day. The feds are JOKE.

Keep thinking the way you do, you'll be a Commie soon.

Didn’t almost half of all Texans who vote vote Democrat in the last three Presidential elections? That was true in every other state.

The feds are JOKE.

I forgot about the interlocking air defense system surrounding all of cities in Texas. Oh wait you don't have one of those. I do hope all those volunteers bring Patriot missile batteries, because that is what you are going to need, not just big infantry formations. And the Texas ANG. I don't doubt their skill but when 182nd Fighter Squadron has to take on the rest of the USAF and US Navy carrier wings coming up from the Gulf their skill and bravery isn't going to matter. One squadron of early mark F-16s will not provide air superiority over all of Texas. The best they will be able to do is die gloriously.

And no army can survive in modern warfare without air superiority. Just ask the millions of men in the Iraqi Republican Guard. So your million man national guard is going to be just so many targets if the USAF decides to obey the illegal orders of Obama.

Oh and even if you think one squadron of fighters can take on the rest of the USAF and US Navy then you can mass those big infantry formations. So Obama can nuke them.

The only chance is to keep the military on the side of the constitution, so that they will not obey Obama's illegal orders. If this comes down to a shooting war the military wins. The goal therefore is to get the military on your side before the shooting starts.
