Too late. He already used ‘frag’ and ‘Texas’ in the same sentence.

Yes, that’s true, and a long blood bath goes into making those new lines. Bosnia being example one.

You know, you and I could kill a quart of Rebel Yell while discussing this issue in front of a pot belly stove in a hunting cabin in SW VA.

And I hope and pray it never gets past a discussion. A real CW2 would be a horror show.

Only losing our freedom would be worse, and there’s the rub.

He’s got a better fancy prancy step than a Tennessee Walker.

Two choices ... ‘really, really, really bad’ and ‘unspeakably ghastly’.

Kind of like the ‘08 presidential election.

PS, I wonder if he is in line for one of those special “single rooms” the USMC might have to build?

So, Sgt C USMC is in full retreat.

There was no mistaking the intent of his original thread. He was fantasizing about killing him some "teabaggers" and other assorted conservatives. The Daily Kos and other liberal butt-wipe blogs jumped on his bandwagon and started hooting their approval like a pack of frenzied chimps. Then he got blowback he wasn't expecting.

It's a shame that anyone threatened him or his family (assuming that happened--it's always questionable when liberals raise the cry). That shouldn't have happened.

But, by God, maybe now he knows that there are damned many Americans who won't go quietly into that dark night.

That was just a foreshadowing. A CW2 would be a horror show, Bosnia X 100.

I disagree, the states will decide which side you are on. A young conservative in Mass. will get drafted, does he stay or go? I don't see him being a 'coin' operator. It isn't 'American'....

All registered Republicans would face severe challenges in a state like MA. They would be assumed to be copperheads, possible incarcerated. They would probably have to swear allegiance or some such BS.

This is a republic and the states can do just fine without the feds..

I hope he and his buddies are up to a good hike across the Jornada del Muerte to come and see me.

Somebody threatened his family? That’s wrong. But it does show a big difference between traveling 7,000 miles to fight with just your battalion, compared to trying to subdue America by force, when you live here with your family.

Look how fast he discovered that painful fact.

Hey, you Nuevo Mexicanos don’t need any outsiders coming in to throw a good CW. You got it all right there, from the burning sands to the Sangre de Christo.

Nobody will be drafted for CW2, IMO.

Hey, where’s that bottle of Rebel Yell?

I gotta call it a night brother.

That one set my gaydar off, too, and got me wondering about his ‘wife’.

I don't think anyone threatened him or his family; more likely, he got his bluff called on his BS.

See Post 387, this thread.

I have been posting about this for a month. I have spoken to several serving officers to understand their thoughts and their feelings.

I think this officer speaks for many. Events to date have not, and do not threaten, to disrupt the chain of command. If the Congress and the Supreme Court recognize the legitimacy of the Commander-in-Chief, and if he does not issue illegal orders to violate Constitutional processes, the officer corps will remain undivided.

And, if that is so, gestures of armed rebellion will end in bloody failure, and will have the paradoxical effect of increasing the central power.

Lines of attack remain open: First, of course, the elections in November. Second, because Obama AND his minions CLEARLY intend subversion, state nullification efforts and state lawsuits with the Supreme Court exercising original jurisdiction are very important.

It should be possible to maneuver Obama into a constitutional box, or to provoke an overt act which would split the officer corps and bring him down.

But changing the Tea Party to Quantrill's Raiders will not, in my humble opinion, move the ball down the field.

"I attempted to make your principle point that it is fear of military force that keeps states from seceding. I have no doubt whatsoever that the Marine Corps and other branches would be used to put down a civil war."

"The states" don't secede, because their leaders want to keep getting their pork from the fed. And there's no reason great enough for secession. The military forces of the states far outnumber those of the fed. The myth that military forces would fight cohesively against their law-abiding citizenry is nothing more than a liberal lefty's wet dream.
