QUOTE If you look at what's happening in Fallujah, you can see clearly that the best-high tech army in the world CAN be defeated by a ragtag militia, if the militia is smart enough to pick its fights. And you have to understand the most fundamental military adage: Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics. If the government does start shooting from underground bases, it risks alienating moderates tremendously. But the thing is.. in Fallujah, we're fighting on their soil, unfamiliar territory to us, with natural defenses for them.. while in the US, if it does come to a revolt, they'd still have a lot more high tech weaponry.. i mean.. the vast majority of gun owners own handguns, not automatic weaponry, so an armed revolt would be basically suicide QUOTE Eventually, parts of the army itself defects, resistance grows, and the government itself collapses, regardless of how strong it is. Part of the army defects? are you saying that our troops in Iraq defect? QUOTE Moreover, with guns, you can seize heavy weapons when it comes down to that. During the Revolution, one of the first battles was when Ethan Allen and a small team of riflemen stormed Fort Ticonderoga and took the cannons from the British. The Colonials eventually took more heavy weapons by seizing British arsenals using common weapons. You're still stuck with historical references, I seriously doubt that we can go into some base and hijack tanks and aircraft or something.. plus civlians wouldnt know how to utilize the weaponry even IF they managed to steal them.. the Continental army was at least familiar with the weapons they stole |
