Agreed.. another civil war would be more likely to occur, my guess because of race or disenfranchised class or social status.. There is credible speculation this may occur over the election.. riots in streets of our cities.. I surely hope it doesn't happen, but something to consider.

I definitely agree with that... Although I don't see it so much as with race, but with political parties... The country is so divided, with Obama and Hillary destroying the Democratic party, and Bush laying the Republican party to rest... I dont think we will ever trust Republicans again, and we will look to Democrats for the salvation from our crisis... Only to be disappointed and thus people will be fed up with the government all together... So I to see a revolt or civil war more likely... However what side will our military be on is the question... Obviously the big question is which side will have the tanks, fighter jets, and technology on their side... While the other side has shotguns and pitchforks... However imagine if it did happen... No running water, nobody would come to help when you dialed 9-1-1, nor would we have any food... The country would essentially be frozen infrastructure wise until the conflict is resolved... If it ever is... I dont think people would be able to survive like that...

I'd say... whatever rules apply to martial law would be enforced in a civil war. I don't know what that means exactly but I did live thru the riots in Memphis when Martin Luther King was shot. I was young, but the blacks did start alot fires, etc which was nothing like a fullscale war, however I have seen footage of riots in NYC that were pretty scary. Just local pockets of gangs creating terror is bad enough. Perhaps stay at home, dodge the bullets... maintain a low profile.

I have never seen the rules of engagement for martial law in modern times, but makes you wonder how soldiers of the military might react if turned lose in the streets of the US with live rounds. Remember these guys have been killing on foreign soil... so it could be ugly. Perhaps we owe them some respect, eh? I definitely wouldn't be playing any games with em.

In the age of nuclear weapons, especially with an arsenal as big as ours, "use it or lose it" rules the day. Unless someone can figure out a way to neutralize that arsenal, Red Dawn will be just a cool movie.

I think the only way the PTB could get us to take up arms against each other would be to split us in two, hence the two party system. If there was a third or fourth party there would be very little chance we'd take up arms against each other.

When you witness the bickering that happens here on ATS between Dems and Republicans over trivial topics, I think it demonstrates just how close we actually are to a melt down. IMHO what this country desperately needs is no less than a 3 party system, and we need it soon.
