This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So you think your 9mm is going to defend you from a government tank when it actually comes down to violence? You're fucked, gun or no gun.

You're forgetting that the US lost 3 wars to guerilla tactics, 2 of those in the last decade

Guerilla tactics in foreign countries on the other side of the planet, where they needed to overcome giant logistics problems.

Fighting on their own territory where they already have all their bases and equipment is not going to end the same way.

It may not, but then the logistics becomes an even more insidious problem- how do you determine who is loyal to the government/military and who will disclose shipping routes or guard routines or other classified info. Further, because it is within the US, and the families of the loyalists are impacted, how do you guarantee their loyalty?

Fighting on their own territory where they already have all their bases and equipment is not going to end the same way.

You're forgetting that it's also where most of the military's supplies come from. That means their sources are more vulnerable as well
