That's not what he's saying at all. He's saying that TPTB have purposefully created the separate deisgnators in order to permit them to segregate the armed personnel when the time comes. By creating the designations and separate identities of Mexican American, African American, American etc, they create a disparity that makes it easier for them to just follow orders. As much disparity as they can create they will, and use it to their advantage, because they KNOW that if banded together as plain AMERICANS, they stand no chance against us. I still say they stand no chance against us.

While I was in the USAF this conversation actually came up. It was at a Christmas party and a few of the "players" had some drinks and were "loosening" up so to say. All the enlisted men seemed to agree that attacking their own country men would never happen. The officers however seemed to not care either way and said orders are orders. (Public education via college no doubt...)
But what scared me the most was the response of the two black airmen and a few of the "Mexican" looking airmen. They came right out and said they would happily kill whoever stood against the military and their paychecks....... Now I am not racist, but I truly believe this was the point of affirmative action in the military, as well as making rank (military men know what I am talking about all too well!)
You see, AMERICANS would probably not kill their own fellow Americans.......but African-americans, and Mexican/Latino Americans would kill white Americans since they are not their own people...........think about it. (Ever wonder why there are so many different race designators in order to racially divide the UNITED States of America?)
Want proof? Walk down Oakland, Miami, the Bronx, Atlanta, or any other racially fueled domestic war zones at ANY time of day and you will get your proof.
Once again, I am not racist, and I have tons more examples. The noose is tightening on America.

Firstly, I don't care what race or nationality you are. Ignorance doesn't discriminate.
Secondly, he is CLEARLY indicating race. His entire post is about race. He has not said anything about "Half-Assed" Americans (Not sure what that even means, but it was your term, so whatever). That was you. These soldiers did not identify themselves as Mexican/Latino Americans or African Americans, that was what the author of the post labeled them. He speculated that race factored into their decision.
Lastly, what are American-Americans? Are you referring to indigenous Americans? The author was CLEARLY talking about Caucasian Americans, he later called them "white Americans" in the same sentence. The author made no mention of indigenous peoples.

2) The People being armed with a few guns is nothing compared to the US Military, fighter jets, drones, launchers that can take your entire house and your neighbor's out while over a mile away and you won't even see it coming.
The US has one of the most modern, built up and technologically advance armies in the world............if the military sides with the government or the government brings in foreign mercenaries, guerrilla warfare tactics used in Nam ain't gonna work here...............you're dreaming.
Unless a secret patriotic army has some of these modern weapons other than guns, rifles and grenades there is not going to be much of a resistance.
Not trying to paint gloom and doom, but the little I've read up on weapons and warfare strategy, your best bet would to be lucky enough to be able to hide out somewhere very remote and than make sure you ditch everything that can track you, (cell phone, car GPS system in car, anything that is tracked by satellite including if they, have implanted you with a tracker device unbeknownst to you................this includes the family pet with a HomeAgain chip. Hell for that matter even your credit cards, tags in clothing they put in there now? Even food. If you can wear it, drive it, eat, drink or carry it - almost anything can have a tracking device now.
At least I can shoot accurately. I'm not leaving my dog so we need a video on how to remove a HomeAgain chip if TSHTF.

What country are "African-Americans" from? If this is about nationality and not race, this should be easy.
Indigenous Americans are the line of people here before 1492.
These people did not identify themselves as "African-Americans" or "Mexican/Latino Americans". The author of the post did. The AUTHOR of the post took the ability for these people to self-identify away from them. How do you know that these people identify as "African-Americans" or "Mexican/Latino Americans"?

I suppose they need to decide on which they are from, and settle on one, now don't they? that's sort of the whole point.
Indigenous Americans are the line of people here before 1492.
And that would be... ? Come on now, you can come right out and say it - I know you can!

The same way you know that they DON'T, apparently. Displaying a willingness to fire up their fellows for a paycheck would place them in which camp?
The psychic harmony of the soul, according to Plato, expresses itself in four cardinal virtues, which are each related to the three basic energies of the soul. In relation to Reason, the happy or just person possesses Wisdom (or prudence). In relation to Emotion, the just person has the virtue of Courage. In relation to Appetite, the just person owns the virtue of Temperance, which is the control of natural desires. Flowing outward from this psychic harmony is the fourth cardinal virtue, Justice. Wisdom, Courage and Temperance are directly related to one's own self-control; Justice flows outward from this harmony, and is directed towards other people through acts of charity and kindness.
