Japanese Admiral Yamamoto knew he could not invade the USA. He said something along the lines of a gun behind every blade of grass. He knew our country was armed and our citizens were armed. We are the only country in the world that could tell the government to do what we want or we could take over by force of arms. The citizens of this Republic built this Republic by kicking the Brit's asses twice and kept us and our Constitution free. The Constitution only means something to the Marxist's asshole Dimocrats when it does something for them. When it works against them, they cry foul. Piss on Dimocrats. I hate every stinking one of them.

Beg to differ. Any almost universal revolt by the American people against their government, which includes the military, would be unable to "take over" as long as the military stuck by the government.

Such a widespread revolt might indeed make it very difficult for the government to enforce its will everywhere, perhaps impossible if the military would be unwilling to use extreme measures. But that's a very different issue from "the people" being able to defeat the government and its military.

Your statement would have been true up to about 1939, not since.

Since military men take an oath to the Constitution, not to the government, I don't get heartburn over this. I cannot imagine any issue that would divide the people sufficiently to lead to civil war that would not also divide the military. God forbid it ever comes to this.
