Yes and no. That would depend to some degree on just how ruthless they are willing to be. And if the troops are willing to follow orders of that degree of ruthlessness.
A couple of armored divisions hit strategic cities and slash and burn the civilian opposition with the intent of sending a message to potential opposition in other urban areas. It has worked before.
These 80K troops are designed for quick and severe response. To be followed by larger numbers of standard troops.
I'll agree in the longer term that number, and maybe the entire available military couldn't stamp put serious, organized resistance. The politicians have never understood the nature of guerrilla warfare.
We can't assume that these people aren't willing to level a small city as an object lesson. I for one think they are. I believe that they (maybe unintentionally) could easily escalate force to that level in the face of serious resistance.
1. Only 12% of the military supports Obozo.
2. Officers take an oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution (Not Obozo)
3. To subject a population the number and size of Texas is not possible with ground troops of that scale. Subjection has been tried here before and it did not work out that well.
4. Remember, November is Coming! And the Dems know what we are about to do to them.
