The feds are JOKE.

I forgot about the interlocking air defense system surrounding all of cities in Texas. Oh wait you don't have one of those. I do hope all those volunteers bring Patriot missile batteries, because that is what you are going to need, not just big infantry formations. And the Texas ANG. I don't doubt their skill but when 182nd Fighter Squadron has to take on the rest of the USAF and US Navy carrier wings coming up from the Gulf their skill and bravery isn't going to matter. One squadron of early mark F-16s will not provide air superiority over all of Texas. The best they will be able to do is die gloriously.

And no army can survive in modern warfare without air superiority. Just ask the millions of men in the Iraqi Republican Guard. So your million man national guard is going to be just so many targets if the USAF decides to obey the illegal orders of Obama.

Oh and even if you think one squadron of fighters can take on the rest of the USAF and US Navy then you can mass those big infantry formations. So Obama can nuke them.

The only chance is to keep the military on the side of the constitution, so that they will not obey Obama's illegal orders. If this comes down to a shooting war the military wins. The goal therefore is to get the military on your side before the shooting starts.

Why would secession start a war in the first place? Secession, as an act, is war neutral. The reaction to it may or may not cause war. So the people are supposed to stay in the Union out of fear? I say screw that. Do you really think the US Army is going to bomb a state because they seceded? This isn't 1861.... I don't think the Marine(I doubt he is a Marine) who wrote this screed is indicative of the entire US forces.

I could see tension and hostility, while the Feds moved out. Not war. Plus with 25-30 states joining in, who the hunted and who is the prey?
