Who believes that we are headed for an armed revolt in this country?

[FUCK THE POLICE]

WM, are you calling MY PATRIOTISM into question? Further you blatantly IGNORED all of what I said. The military would be unable to wage such a war against the American people.

The American people are the people who support America. Counter revolutionary traitors who despise American values have stripped themselves of their Americanness and may be treated like animals in the coming conservative extermination.

Your trolling really is quite horrid lately....

[Taichiliberal]

I have seen a lot of people talking about armed revolts and such.

I m curious who here thinks we are actually headed there?

I've been hearing that one for about 30 years....if we keep going in the direction we are currently in, eventually someone will get the date right.

But all know that the two yahoos that showed up strapped at town hall addresses on healthcare are hoping for something to give.

... And here we go. Now you're more reasonable than WM so I'll assume you don't mean every person who exercises their right to carry is a crazy right?

y'all think whatever you want. I just know that i'm stocking up on lots of ammo. anyone who thinks that there aren't rougher economic times coming and aren't bothering to prepare might as well just surrender to the government now.

I heard similar declarations from folks who called themselves "survivalists" back in the day. Originally, survivalist were predicting the collapse of the social structure in America...and had written guide books on how to read the "signs", where to set up their "redoubts", how to stock up on supplies and ammunition, etc. Some even just dropped out of their jobs, uprooted and relocated to varies mountain and wilderness areas, or set up "communes" (a communist derivative?) to be their own society. Some small towns declared that they did not recognize the federal gov't, and that their local sheriff was their highest law officer.

That was about 25 years ago....if all these guys held true to their beliefs, then they are now middle aged or senior citizens. Oh well, maybe with luck, they'll live to see the catastrophe they so dearly hoped for.

Now some of that is pretty extreme, but there's nothing wrong with stocking up on supplies for a disaster is there?

too many yammer heads talking and not enough people with enough guts to face couple of properly armed companies of regular troops with air support, oh, and some armored personnel carriers and maybe a squad of tanks

unless you are talking an armed coup and i rate that not bloody likely

I think you hit on an important point.

The number of people calling for, or encouraging, an armed revolt is far different from the number of people willing to actually take up arms against a well armed military.

You fools both ignored this:

The military is very conservatively based #1 and #2 many members of the military would actively join said revolts. Plus the whole 'Defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic' is meant to hold the GOVERNMENT as the domestic enemy.

Kudos to Billy.

I beg to differ the the US military would not wage war on the American people if told to do so.

Soldiers will do what their commanders tell them to do.

Hate to break this to you brother .. but you and your six-guns aren't going to keep authority from doing whatever it sets out to do .. and they have really big guns.

Have you ever known a criminal to shoot authority into submission?

There are smarter ways to resist than loading up with guns.

You can't shoot the real enemy .. and most Americans are to dumb to know what they look like anyway.

I didn't ignore anything. I read it and disagreed with the idea that the military would be unwilling to fight, or would desert and join a revolution.

It will not be portrayed as a revolution by the media, regardless of what the militia tries to do. It will be portrayed as domestic terrorism. And by the time the average soldier finds out any different it will be too late.

Make no mistake, I will fight and die for my constitutional rights. But I have no delusions that we would win.

You are absolutely correct.

There is already HISTORY that demonstrates the military will do what it's told .. period point blank. That is their conditioning and it's the only way a military works.

As for soldiers deserting and join the ranks of the militias ...

:0)

get real .. that's a ridiculous pipedream that has no precedent in the US.

The military of today is far different from that day and age. I know. There are PLENTY of people who would leave their post to join a cause. In my short 4 years I met probably 500 or so. And insignificant number perhaps, but again those are just the ones I've met. If it's proportional I'd put an estimate at 20% though that's being optimistic and speculative, as many of the men and women I know are in specific MOS's.

Not that the military could win such an engagement. For all the technological wonder we have, America has a nasty record when it comes to few guerrillas. If you want to talk numbers I can do that too.

You misunderstood. Whether they would fight or not was not the subject of my statement. They would not have the ability to fight a conflict.

The militia could harrass and cause problems for the military. But the problem with guerrilla warfare is that it is exceedingly hard to win, unless victory is achieved by the other side leaving the country. That is not what would happen here.

What would happen is that the federal gov't would claim it needed to violate the US Constitution for the good of the nation. And the american people, having seen only what the networks would show, will happily go along with it. Once the networks show the devastation the guerrillas were causing, the american people would happily vote for constitutional amendments to prevent it from happening again.

Then it would just be a war of attrition.
