do you think we'd be facing aerial assaults and nuclear weapons?
"We", so this actually a thought you entertain?

that's something i've never been able to grasp about liberal illogic. do they think that all of us former military people were de-programmed to forget all of our training when we got out?
Yeah, again, what's your point? It didn't deter a bunch of illiterate goat farmers in the middle of a damned desert with no military training and a complete inability to target U.S. supply lines. They've stood and fought us for a decade+ and we still haven't managed to beat them.
Do you think they would all join forces with you to overthrown the govenment they swore to protect and serve? I know my family members would fight against you?
Have we really truly tried?
Didn't help us win in Vietnam when we did just that. Didn't make Germany surrender any faster during WW2. But go on, please tell me more about how bombing our own industrial base will win a civil war.
About 100,000, give or take.
We nuked Vietnam? We nuked Germany? Cite.
100,000 against 314 million?
...and the govt. would use the same weaponry on American rebels as it uses in Iraq, Pakistan, etc. And the govt. has strength in numbers, I think you're overestimating how many people here would rise up against it. Most are too content with the American lifestyle to consider it.

Oh yes, we most certainly did. How, pray tell, did we not 'try'?
Exactly, what would rebels give to the American people that they don't get from the current government. The freedom they hope to instill would be limited due to having to put down those factions that don't want their form of government. If they did rebel their freedom would also be gone because they would live a rebels life that would mimic the goat herders of Afghanistan.
We did not unleash the full capacity of our military in any war since WWII and you know it. Our own citizens would have been outraged.
We unleashed more explosive power on both nations. Nuclear weapons simply take fewer bombs to achieve a similar result as conventional bombs. They aren't somehow special, just bigger. More people died in the fire raids on Tokyo than either of the nuclear attacks.
you are really showing your naivete, but that's cool. the surprise on your face will be worth it.
Apparently this is a pointless venture to continue discussing with you two. Thousands of years of revolutionary history and yet you somehow feel it's now impossible.
The fire raids killed a lot of people over a longer period of time than the nuking and still didn't result in surrender. That came about a few days after dropping the bomb.
It's only pointless because you haven't been able to persuade us and vice versa.
