    The same US military that is batting a fat zero in winning wars of insurgency? Remember all those videos of afghan people getting killed in thermal vision from “a mile away”? Those guys won.

      Yeah, on foreign soil and across the world. Lol I want to figuratively see what they can do at home especially now that their ethics are out the window.

      “different tactics” meant exactly what you’re saying and beyond. Those guys won when the military hadn’t faced such an opponent. You’re gonna need way more than guns and be forced to get creative.

        It’s worse than what was faced overseas, here at home you have large number of War on Terror veterans. Trained, armed and experienced, many disillusioned with the tilting of the government, and the media, and the populace around them. There’s been a blue shift in both active duty and veteran communities.

        The optimist in me hopes it’s enough.

            Why would their “ethics” come into play in foreign soil? You don’t think Cletus might think twice when asked to fire hell fire missiles into Grand Papas house?

            The us did not have a lack of boom overseas, its always had the logistics to put “warheads on foreheads” anywhere in the world.

            In the “homeland”? I don’t think you even understand the sort of cluster fuck of a military operation you are proposing. Like do you think if a civil war broke out, all the “sides” would separate and fly a flag? At this point it would be like other modern civil wars with a just mess of sides and no clear front.

              You don’t need to talk down to me and assume things that I didn’t say. Listen to what I’m saying because it’s different than you seem to pivot on.

              Ethics used to guide the type of weapon employed, especially overseas with foreign watch. If none of that is necessary, including the logistics, then putting the “warheads on foreheads” is much easier. And if people aren’t necessarily watching, who cares if you use an extra bit of cruelty. It’s exactly what Russia does next door.

              don’t think you even understand the sort of cluster fuck of a military operation you are proposing

              I don’t think I was proposing any sort of military operation, clusterfuck or otherwise. Where’d you get that idea? Lol

              all the “sides” would separate and fly a flag?

              Huh? There is one side with a flag and a head of state in chare of the military. What are you on about? Just decided to make up interpretations of what I meant? It’s a bit off putting tbh.

                This series of posts is about armed counter movements in the united states. And here you are accusing me of assuming what was said.

                    This was you correct? Unless you want to see what they can do “at home” to a foreign power.
