As for the rest of your post...Look. I am in the Army. I know what we can and can't do, to a limit. If Iraq and Afghanistan are giving us such a hard time, I GUARANTEE you an American insurgency would be 10 times worse or more. Our Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy could NEVER take on the American civilian population. NEVER. And its because we can own weapons.
Indeed. And also, the biggest trump card you have in fighting wars overseas is the nuke, but that can't be used within the US because they'd be shitting in their own backyard. Although, I won't rule out a nuke being used once as a sort of Reichstag incident.
