If say, Texas seceded from the Union now, do you really think there would be Bosnia II inside of Texas? It would be a new country under the same management, the Gov becomes Pres, No blood shed internally, maybe from the outside, that's different.
If Texas seceded Obama would send in the troops to do a Sherman's march to Gulf of Mexico. If the sentiments expressed by the "Marine" in this article are those held by the majority of the members of the US Military then the military will do it.
There was not blood shad internally when the Confederacy seeded the last time. But 4% of the entire US population, according to the 1860 census, ended up dead before it was over. And that was in an era when the best WMD available was a guy with a torch. In today's numbers that would work out to over twelve million dead.

The troops in the various forts in Texas are either from Texas or would defect to Texas. The US Army would be the captive not the capture. Texas National guard could be ramped up to 1 million is about a day. The feds are JOKE.
Keep thinking the way you do, you'll be a Commie soon.
