The fallacy that the people would or could resist our modern military with the weapons they are allowed to have is just silly.

I don't think it's silly. Especially when you consider that, of the 3 million active duty and reserve personnel in the military, less than 500K are infantry. If only ten percent of our population were to resist that would be 31 million people.

About a third the number of people that Stalin killed and maybe one seventh the number Mao dispatched.

I went through infantry training in 1954 how valuable will I be? You have done waited too long for me to help.
