If some insane battle broke out where the military turned on it’s own country, why do so many people think the civilians of the united states could never beat the military? I think that idea is downright absurd. Despite the militarys arsenal, civilians have access to 50 caliber firearms, among other destructive devices. Explosives? A local construction company may have access to some explosives powerful enough to destroy 10 city blocks. Tanks? Again, take a bulldozer, load up an automatic machine on it, armor plate it, and you have yourself a tank. It’s been done. Not to mention, there is an estimated 1,426,713 people serving on active duty today. Compare that to the estimated 304,095,000 people living in the country. The numbers are highly on our side. Let’s not forget our police forces, including federal agencies and their weaponry. Remember, the same companies who sell weapons to military may also sell them to civilian law enforcement.

Never underestimate the power of a militia consisting of millions of people in a time of distress.

What is your take on this? What are your counter arguments to mine?
Technically, the feds are civilian agencies, so they’d be on the civilians side in this hypothetical argument.
Do non civilians have Apache attack copters? Maybe not, but non civilians know how to build rocket launchers. At least some engineers do. UAV’s? Again, ask a non military engineer. People get the impression that civilians are all out of shape slobs that don’t know how to built a sand castle, let alone an explosive device.

Whats your ideas of the new weapons our military (US) is using in Iraq. The M82A1 50 caliber sniper rifle, the Mini gun, the UAV’s that fire Helfire missles, all the smart bombs that can hit a target within 6 feet. How do you feel about all this protection. I like it. I think its cool how powerful our military really is.

Does the US military use less than lethal weapons?

i know military police might, but aside from them, does our military use any less than lethal weapons?
I know in combat, where you need to destroy the enemy , you wouldn’t need LTL weapons.

but i am saying, like maybe a UAV or something spotted some high value targets that we could use to better our selves in war, but they are heavily armed, but we do not want to kill them,

sounds weird , but what if there was a situation like that.
