It will be less like 1861 and more like 1776; revolution, not civil war. If we can make it bloodless, so much the better. But they may not allow it to be so.
No, that army you face will be in your face. It will also be at 20,000 feet. The supply lines will be close, and your ass will be theirs.
They’ll have drones, tanks, pulse weapons, and every other modern tactical weapon.
You’ll have your assault rifle and some ammo.
All you’re going to wind up doing is committing suicide. And your family will not be better off after the whole thing is over.
You state that it’s not going to be like 1861, and I agree.
You’ll be a vapor trail before you ever see what was coming your way.
All this happy talk is delusional.
