I'd be naive if I believed those statistics you pulled out of your ass, and you'd be naive if you thought that even 10% of the military mobilizing wouldn't immediately crush the will of a huge percentage of people willing to stand up for the cause.
I didn't pull that statistic out of my ass if you'd believe it. I think I was accidentally referencing one from 20 years ago that included veterans. Regardless, Military voting always favors republicans especially the most popular one ever. And I don't think 30-40% of the army would stand a chance against 50-60% AND the national guard and a civilian militia.
Yes, I don't need an up-to-date statistic to believe that at face value. Taking veterans into account, however, is a massive discrepancy. All demographics trend towards Republican as they age.
I don't believe for a second that 50-60% of the population would mobilize with arms in the first place. Furthermore, if shooting did actually start, the military has the obvious attritional advantage in the beginning stages. The militia only wins via prolonged strategic decisions, which is the main reason I brought up the idea of the military actually mobilizing would crush a significant amount of people both physically and mentally very quickly. How many remaining and willing to continue to resist is the real question.
I believe that per capita the NG has as many commie-brainwashed HR 'soldiers' as the USN/USAF. That is a statistic out of my ass, but I have not yet encountered a reason to give me more faith in them.
a) I said some
b) The amount required to put down a rebellion would be dependent on the amount of people willing to rebel
c) Your post demonstrates you are way more naïve than I am
Naive how? For mentioning a statistic?
