And those elites are so very vulnerable.
They do their calculating and planning in a vacuum among other elite intelligensia and academia.
They've never been compelled to get their hands dirty, and must - absolutely MUST - rely on their minions for the dirty work.
And THAT's their weakness. In a real-life struggle, they're as useless as tits on a tomcat. They lack personal resolve to get the job done, and they lack the skill set to get the job done.
That's their undoing.
All through history.

Right now, they're making paychecks, with very few working out of boredom. I know some guys who work for Triple Canopy, as well as Xe, and most are former military who are doing it for money.
These same former military are not only very skilled, but also very American.
A good number of former Special Ops, and a more capable, more dedicated, more intelligent, patriotic group cannot be found than among Special Ops personnel, active, retired, or inactive.

Where is the tyranny all of a sudden?
I like how all of a sudden all the people who sat on their behinds as Bush shredded the Constitution and ran amok trying to start WW3 all of a sudden want a revolution because their talk-radio gods are commanding them to...
"Sheeple" indeed...

Well maybe I view history differently then you, but if you believe the elites haven't figured an armed American revolt into their equation, then I think your the one miscalculating.

I never said the entire military would stand on one side, I was affirming YOUR point that only small numbers are needed. Is it only small numbers needed on our side or can the U.S. government have an advantage there too?
Your post is attempting to prove what? That you'll have some trained men and women in your armed revolution? Ok...so? Who are you fighting? Who will your first bullet be aimed at? Then what? Do you have a plan? Is there any organization for this revolution? When does the fighting go to far? How do you prove YOUR the good guys? How will the media view it? What HAVE YOU done so far besides consider armed confrontation?
Bottom line? They're paid to do a job. Not argue the political or moral nuances. They actually don't give a damn.
