The problem is the US government, or at least a large part of it, sees themselves as the "occupiers" and wants us to submit instead of resist.The Annoyed Man wrote:There's all kinds of lessons in that article, aren't there? I shamelessly stole your link and facebooked it. But my main point is this: THIS is how the U.S. gov't should relate to militias — encouraging them with training and materials, rather than disparaging them and treating them with suspicion.
We were beat in Iraq. Imagine if millions of people stood up and lived among innocents. It really couldn't be beat. In Iraq and Afghanistan the enemy used carriers to deliever messages because big brother was all over the technology.crazy2medic wrote:Why does everybody always assume you can't beat a modern military, it's called asymmetrical warfare, you go after the infrastructure, you go after ammo and fuel dumps, hit them when ever they present a weak spot, you don't have to beat them outright, you bleed them with a thousand cuts!
People worry about drones being able to sniff out and attack insurgents, but every drone requires a pilot.

Lots of fictional stories written about American Patriots standing up and defeating a belligerent, non-Constitution abiding US government via insurgency tactics.
Remains to be seen if fiction becomes fact....I wouldn't bet against the Patriots!
Actually, I missed that one!Pawpaw wrote:It was fact, at least once. Ever heard of the Battle of Athens?
Since 1915, officials of seven governments "gone bad" have committed genocide, murdering at least 56 million persons, including millions of children. "Gun control" clears the way for genocide by giving governments "gone bad" far greater freedom to commit mass murder.
Think about this, the education level of a typical afghan or iraqi tribesman, now compare that to your typical American, an insurgency is bad, a educated insurgency would be a nightmare!Soap wrote:We were beat in Iraq.
