No, America Isn’t Heading Toward Another Civil War
BY Herschel Smith5 years ago
Via David Codrea, this kid thinks he knows something.
Perhaps the biggest factor that stands between modern America and another civil war is obvious: the armed forces. Prior to the American Civil War in 1860, the U.S. military consisted of a mere 16,000 men. As the civil war broke out, one in five of the U.S. Army’s officers resigned to join the confederacy, leaving the armed forces too small and powerless to put a stop to what was occurring. Such a thing would be impossible today with how vast and expansive America’s military is now. The groups vowing to rally around Trump if he should be impeached, such as the Oath Keepers and United Constitutional Patriots, are unauthorized and scarce in number, making them a minor threat to America’s military.
Oh. Is that how it works? “Unathorized?” In other news, the democrat house is spending time on making sure the U.S. military is a welcoming place for folks confused about their gender.
Nothing says “Thanks for your service” like ignoring the needs of U.S. troops. But apparently, that’s the most our military can hope for under Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) majority. While the president tries to deal with conflicts around the globe, contain the threats from ISIS and rogue nations like North Korea, you’ll be relieved to know that the House is hard at work on its most important mission: ushering into the military people who are in conflict over their biological sex. And they’re willing to tie up the most important bill of the year to do it.
In yet more recent news, the U.S. military has been buying Chinese-made cameras for their rifles.
Federal agents refrained from naming the Chinese manufacturers involved. But over the years, Aventura received shipments from more than 40 different suppliers in China. The network surveillance equipment also suffered from publicly known vulnerabilities documented by the Department of Homeland Security that could pave the way for remote takeovers.
Well then. I guess the Chinese can watch while the U.S. military tries to keep the peace across 3.8 million square miles of land in the case of any trouble. That is, unless they’re not using rifles because they’re in mutilation surgery.

China will sell us all the mil hardware at a discount rate…back doors to control them are included for free.
Good thing our external enemies can’t see impeachment mania and won’t be filling any power vacuums…oh wait.

That reads like a Junior High book report.
As for the guys in combat units (the most conservative enclaves of the military), I guess they would all think “Oh well, I suppose I have to obey illegal unconstitutional orders and go shoot my family and friends for owning guns and resisting…”
None of them would look at their loaded weapons and come up with different plans.

That idiot punk kid suffers from sever TDS. He also seems to think that because he can google or wikipedia a few facts he knows how this mess is going to pan out.
Idiots like this probably do not even recognize the term 4G warfare, much less understand anything about it.

Just because nobody has shot at you yet, doesn’t mean that the war isn’t already underway.
Plenty of people say how it will go, nobody actually knows though. Just because we lose on purpose in the middle east under UN rules doesn’t mean that the dot gov won’t kill half the us population and burn this dump to the ground and win. Never forget, we lose those wars only because the will to kill and destroy is restrained. Some of us know how to win a war, and so do some of them.
“Total victory can only be bought with total war.” TS Adams – quoted from this blog 2 days ago.
Some of us know…

If a civil war comes the military will collapse along with the police. I’ve spent 30 years overseas and seen various civil wars. I know the drills. Nations split along ethic, racial, religious faults when the cement that binds them goes. What does American mean today when there is no longer a qunique heritage, tradition to bind us together?
It also means when violence comes it will be that much worse. Don’t believe me, read what happened in Spain, Mexico, Germany, China, Russia, then tell yourself it will be different here.
