If there was an armed insurrection first? Wrong-o, me boy. They'd put down the insurrection, just like they did from 1861 to 1865.
More likely the Senior military would revolt and the mass of soldiers would follow it and sack the elitists like Hillary, Teddy K, Chris Dodd, and Trent Lott.
Yup, they'll sack the people who appointed them. Sure. Right.
A new constitutional convention would be called and regular citizens would have to step up and take over.
The history of military coups in the world do not support your rosy scenario. What would be more likely to happen is that any officers who did overthrow the duly elected civil authorities would "temporarily" assume "emergency powers" for the next 25-50 years or so.
Of course, the US military might have to first rout the foreign and UN military troops already in this country, which you probably will deny before even trying to investigate, but I'm sure you will just paint a tinfoil hat on me to solve that problem for you.
How many troops? Where are they stationed?
Did I say anything about an armed surrection first? Why are so many here trying to misrepresent my points to make theirs? If Hitlery tries to mass confiscate guns, for example, you would have a dynamic response and an unpredictable outcome....not so cut and dried like you think.
"Yup, they'll sack the people who appointed them. Sure. Right.
Some of us are aware that these people pledge an oath to the Constuitution and not the officeholders. Certainly not to Hitlery, that anit-military witch.

That may be true in the rest of the world, but America is hardly comparable. Too many people are left in the fabric of America who are not wooed by the cult of personality that has effected so much of the world, with militarys pledging allegiance to Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini etc. We have a proud tradition of military warriors who act in the nation's interest, as I believe many are who are against going to war on Iraq.
"How many troops? Where are they stationed?"
I can't tell you that because I dont know, but its in the thousands, quite possibly tens of thousands....there have been reports that they are at military bases in every part of this country and that number is to increase. Official statements by civilian and military spokesmen have said they intend to increase this number to "protect" us against terrorist threats, and allegedly train these troops to be able to go back home. If you are really interested in this, you need to go to infowars.com, persue some of the articles under this topic and order and look at some of the documentary footage shot by Alex Jones, where you can actually witness the foreign troops being trained jointly with Americans, and actual gun confiscation drills taking place.
But by the nature and tone of your post, I doubt you will. Derision, scorn and ignorance seem to be your three best friends.
