United States military versus Karen's Krack Kalvary....

This soldier's take on a response by the military to an armed insurrection on American soil has been my opinion also. They are simply too goddamn stupid to mount an effective assault against the military might of the United States. They also don't have the numbers. It might get a little dicey, but it's not something I sit around and wring my hands about.

https://m.



Bonus Questions : at the moment the decision is made to begin the revolt, besides personal acquaintances they know to be Democrats, or left leaning people, who are they going to kill next?
When it comes down to facing someone they may have known for years, and politics aside, got along really well, or at least was a good neighbor, could they actually pull the trigger?
What about uniforms? The US Military has uniforms. The so-called revolutionaries? Maybe everyone could wear something red, but I'll bet you a roll of quarters that when confronted by the military you would think you are at a burlesque show. Maga hats and t-shirts will be flying.
How about armament? I will be the first to admit that given the right circumstances, organization, and people willing to kill, the insurrectionists would have a 50-50 chance against..... a force armed just as they are. Think about the accurate, pinpoint weaponry the United States military has at hand, not to mention hand to hand combat training. Saturday night bar fights don't count. Not even close. Game over.

2. New Orleans after Katrina got very dicey.

People were shooting at helicopters trying to evacuate the hospitals. The airport was a mess. It wasn’t safe to try to evacuate people due to all the shooting. Then… “Units from the 82nd Airborne Division began arriving at the New Orleans Airport seven hours after getting deployment orders. MG William Caldwell of the 82nd Airborne received succinct orders from LTG Honore: "Your job is to fix the airport and fix New Orleans."”

Normally I would have said her screed was total BS, but when someone says "fuck" as much as she does, then they must be right.

They have people in secret installations loading fucks into magazines as we speak. Those things are deadly, especially the clusterfucks.

anyone else here sitting on the edge of their seat, waiting?

I didn't think so.

"Too much coffee Karen" needs to start drinking decaffeinated coffee and stop logging on to Facebook. A thorough understanding of the Constitution couldn't hurt either.

I hope this "Karen" didn't have any children.

They have a small problem with evangelical christians proselytizing at the Air Force Academy. I'm sorry but I sincerely question their reliability in that proposed crisis.

We keep treating these insurrectionists with kid gloves. At Bundy’s stand-off his men were literally targeting government forces with rifles, fingers on the trigger, and nothing was done.

When the terrorists occupied the Mahleur Wildlife Refuge, again, nothing was done. Hell, the local police were feeding them information on the Fed’s plans.

I suppose that some will say that the priority should be on making sure no one dies, but maybe a few people should be dying… Then these treasonous scum might think twice before taking arms against the government. Time is only making them bolder.

In none of the instances you mentioned were innocent civilians at risk. The calculus would flip on a dime were it otherwise.

Who are too fat to tie their boots don’t stand much of a chance. I would submit that if someone in a n actual uniform shot at them they would soil themselves.
