and I wish people would stop deluding themselves that it does. A bunch of untrained or moderately guys with AR-15s don't stand a chance against a modern military. That's sorta why we didn't lose in Iraq.
Do you think members of the US military will follow orders to shoot their countrymen?
The US government doesn't. That's why they made a treaty with Canada, that if Canada has a revolution, American solders will be sent to quell it, and if America has a revolution, Canadian solders will be sent to quell it.
With the right indoctrination, you can teach a man that his enemy is not human. But most people don't like shooting their neighbours, and will go AWOL if you try to make them.
