Ya know, armor doctrine has been around a looooong time, including the parts about eating meals and taking leaks in hostile country (its called a “laager” - you circle up your AFVs while they’re refueled and the crews take turns taking breaks. Its not rocket science.)

A lot of folks are sounding like the Frogs at the start of WWI: “French Elan and bayonets will defeat the enemy!” We know how well that worked.

Patriotism and small arms do not defeat armored forces. The only one who had a good point, pointed out that the Yugoslavs under Tito managed to hold out against German armor. Keep in mind, though, they had a little help (the Germans were a bit pre-occupied...) and they really lousy terrain with which to work. .

If a “SPF” is formed, they will not be very nice people. Think “KGB border guards” and you’ll get the idea. With armor, gunships, automatic weapons, and a lack of restraint in using them, they’ll be hard to fight. Add to that the nearly complete lack of outside help (most guerillas
survive on funds and equipment from outside the warzone... but who’s going to help us?) and the situation looks pretty grim. The only “win” scenario I can see is if enough of the National Guard and Regular Military are “in country” and come down on our side.

With armor, gunships, automatic weapons, and a lack of restraint in using them, they’ll be hard to fight.

The local Democrat mayor won't be going to work in a gunship.

oh noooooes...Im pissin myself just thinkin about the scary goons...

my point was that when it comes to that, we all are essentially dead, figuratively if not physically...

at that point there will be no 'fair fight' and the reality is that they will still be just 'doin my job' and milkin the clock for their perks...

The People will have the advantage whenever and wherever they choose...obviously many will die tryin on both sides, but Im comfortable with the numbers of citizens vs goons...
