The politicians, media, and libs in general seem to think that this is winnable by their side. “We have the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, CIA... on our side.” they will say. Unfortunately, all of them seem to discount veterans, especially the combat veterans, who have left the military and other government services of all flavors.

For every service member currently on duty, there are tens to hundreds of veterans out in the public who were trained to do the exact same job. And, most of them have at least as much if not more experience actually DOING the job than they do. For each fighter pilot or helicopter pilot, there are many out here who could slip right back into that cockpit comfortably (well... some of them may have put on a little weight, so it may not be as comfortable as it once was). Men and women of all disciplines who have committed to muscle memory what the younger generation is just now learning in their schools.

And, to those who say, “Well, they don’t have access to that equipment.”... really? There aren’t tens of thousands of former infantry and special operations veterans out here that can’t get them access to it again? Dream on.

No, if a civil war does ever happen here it will be ugly. And chances are it will get ugly quickly. And that is exactly why I hope and pray that it will never come to that point. I don’t think most people can even imagine how horrible it actually will be if it does.

A second civil war in the US has the potential to make the losses of the original civil war of the 1800s pale by comparison. Let’s hope we are not that stupid.

Yes.
But then wars of any kind cannot be ruled out for any country or countries.
Europe thought they'd ended wars in Europe in 1945 after WWII.
WRONG!
We had the war in Yugoslavia etc and now the war in Ukraine.
Looking back at history, humans just never really change no matter how technologically advanced we get.
Example A : Joe Biden.
Has there ever been a more hate filled creep in the White House like Dementia Joe? Nope. Anything can happen under a guy like that.
