How many guns do we have in private hands in the US of A? 120 million and rising daily?
Are there enough troops left in the world to challenge some 80 million people with at least 1 weapon in their hand? Funny how they aren't particularly interested in being allies of ours and standing on front lines against 3rd rate countries some of which rely on rocks for weaponry.
Are there that many people from around the world looking to get their brains blown out in some attack on the American citizens? Do they think our soldiers and reserves stationed stateside are just gonna lay down and let them have at it? Are they suggesting these men and women would turn against their own husbands and wives, boyfriend and girlfriends, brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers and cousins, aunts abd uncles, grandparents, and neighbors and friends?
First of all, I'd like to know how this great army of invaders proposes to get here. Do they honestly think that after the first boatload or planeload debarks and starts shooting, that anymore planes or boats are gonna just come into port or some airfield?

Support for the sons of liberty and other revolutionaries in 1775 was only 3-7%, and they didn't have TV back then. Summer soldiers, and sunshine patriots....
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." ~Mark Twain - Notebook, 1904
This is more to do with a real clear and present danger... our own outlaw government tyrants, rather than the ongoing Mexican, or other potential invasion. Funny how that's been overlooked. A hundred million reconquista invaders or so, and nobody in gov really noticed. Is this Aztlan since the W. Bush administration? Ike Eisenhower was the last president to take invasions seriously.
For a good while now, the fedgov has been more of a hindrance and a threat, than a help.
I hold the same comments up for tyrannical government, too,. Our military is not going to lock-step start taking down citizens....especially not under the current administration.
The military, it is likely manned at under 2 million people. I doubt seriously you could get half of them to start popping people off.
I just don't see a need to get ones shorts in a wad over maybes and could be and possibilities.
And I also know the rank and file Mexican family does not want this crap that is being waved around. I believe most rank and file Mexican families want like what all of us want......peace, quiet, freedom, the abilityy to support our families, to love our children and spouses and extended families, and friends--all without fear.

I agree with what you are posting about our military, rowdee, don't know if it's for the same reasons or not, that's where a lot of misunderstanding happens between posters, not understanding each other. Anyway!
I've been researching for years, military tactics by the nazis during WWII and this is what I've learned.
The german soldiers were OK with murdering citizens, but they WERE NOT German citizens, although I'm sure there were German citizen casualties, but their biggest target were Jews, foreigners, russians, gypsies, gays, and so on...but NOT the German people. Why? Because they were FAMILY, FRIENDS and NEIGHBORS, people they grew up with, people they cared about, people they loved, and they wern't (not even for Hitler), willing to massacre their own families for that madman.
I do not believe our military, our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews will obey an order to slaughter their families. In fact, I think this government would be shocked at how many of those soldiers will turn their weapons on them! jmho!
Where I can see a potential chink in our military is in how the gov is allowing non-citizens to join the military to gain quick citienship. These people have no known loyalty to this nation or her people....they're after the quick path to belonging, as in citizenswhip.
With enough of these types, we could see how our scenarios could change.

The moment any non-citizen starts gunning down American citizens, they can kiss any future citizenship GOODBYE....jmho!
