What the article says is that a war like Viet Nam, a guerilla force whipped up on the most powerful nation in the world, they won by attrition. America won all the battles, but lost the war, and that is just how it would be IF...the ones whom we are fighting can field an army that will actually kill us, which I doubt could be done with National Guards, Army, or Marines, and the SOG Teams, these men and women are Americans, and would stand with Americans, as would a great deal of the police force, both State and local. Who would be left? Blackwater would, and perhaps other groups like them. The States would have control of the State arsenals, and most origanized Militia would obey the State they are operating in. We all need to stand behind our State Governors as out leaders, if they are true, if they are not, take them out of the office.
True indeed. To anyone who thinks that the government would use its own armed forces against its own people, i say this: When you take the oath of enlistment, BEFORE you swear to obey the orders of the officers appointed over you, you swear to defend the Constitution of the United States of America against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. It is our job to defend that citizens of the United States as well...and trust, i have talked to people and i havent found another soldier yet that doesnt share the same mindset.
