Those of you suggesting that citizens armed with at most semi-autos can stand toe-to-toe with the most powerful military in the world have simply have no idea how a professional military operates. Take a look at Iraq to see how it would turn out for those on the wrong side.

Let's start with a figure of 1.5 million for the Federal Army. Let's take away half who defect to the seceding states. that leaves 750,000. Let's say ONLY 11 states were to secede. That leaves 70,000 troops/seceding state. It's you who are in dreamland.....
