Prepper Ping : Fourth Generation Warfare (Asymmetric,terrorist, insurgent tactics)

" ..the Left is on the verge of overthrowing the legally elected government here. Once they have done that then they will start their own version of ideological cleansing: things like rounding up AR-15 owners."

Submitted for informational purposes.
A Hot Link to Wikipedia explanation of "Fourth Generation Warfare" is included in Post #46.

Hi.

I would prefer getting off this planet without killing anyone.

But, I took an oath over 40 years ago that I am bound.

That is my thought, too.

It is not a “Civil War;” it is a “Snarky Comment War!”
