If the Army turns then the Revolution works, if the Army stay loyal the treasonous losers are shot or put in jail

http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question...5001918AAF1ieN

Go do some research on how many trained soldiers in WW2, Korea and Vietnam were actually shooting to kill. The modern army goes into intense training to make them killers. Untrained people with the weapons they have in their closet, against trained killers with some of the most modern weapons ever. No contest.
Which is why soldiers today go through intense training.
The people of Afghanistan and Vietnam were/are losing combatants by the 100s against 1 US soldier. They kept/keep coming because they have balls. The first time the "citizens" start to take hits they will run like rabbits.

So tell us all when a popular armed uprising worked against an army and I will tell you 10 times it failed. For everyone you name.

The last time the US had the balls to stand up against the rulers was in the 60s and 70s.

Those people had balls, they were shot and and killed and kept coming back. I'm afraid to say the US citizens of today don't have the same balls. Getting 10% to uprise is treason, getting 60% is impossible and that's a revolution. When the majority say enough is enough.

But dream on that it could happen. Every few years politicians need your votes and they promise you what ever you ask for and kiss your ass for a few months. Once elected the populace takes what ever is dealt to them.

Yes 300 million armed Americans would over throw the Government. About as likely as you gaining a grain of sense. Of that 300 million it would need to include the army. Game over.

In the real world it would be more like 300,000 tops.

Let's take a look at those, outside the army/police, who have guns and have proved they're willing to use them against people. Fuck me the Gangs, gangsters, Far Right, Far Left and nutters. Do you really want these guys in the front line? They would make a real cohesive unit. :Oh crap

You guys would shit your pants if these guys were in charge.

For those who want to read up on the effectiveness of soldiers there's a lot to read. Intense training today has made the difference. Mr and Mrs Suburbia ain't going to get a look in. No matter what guns they have in their closets.

I can't believe people on this forum still respond to moeloubani and gatorB. It's one thing being a moron. It's another thing being a moron by your typical adult webmaster standards.

Also during the civil rights marches police and National Guard also killed marchers. We had balls in those days.

I think the size of the balls of some here was summed up by one poster. Something like this.

"If I can kill Bambi I can kill someone threatening me."

If Bambi had a gun he would shit his pants. :1orglaugh

But as you sit by your keyboard acting tough and scratching your beer belly, it's nice to dream of having balls.

I've hi lited the flaw in your thinking.

The only way the US masses would uprise in any cohesive fashion is if the Religios Right took over. Then you guys would really need your guns. Otherwise dreaming they would come together and fight is just that, a dream.

Would you fight if a leader stole an election?
If a leader took you into an illegal war?
If a leader ruined your economy?

So what exactly would it take?

Dictators have a habit of getting the Army and Police well behind them first. Look around at the World. When didn't they? French Revolution comes to mind. Revolution is an option when your kids are dying of starvation.

Even the Russian Revolution had soldiers on their side, returning soldiers from the front and the Navy fired on St Petersburg.

Congratulations, you win "dumbest comment of the week" award!

Not citizens, armed traitors. That's what the US military would be told they are firing on.

The military is loyal to the government, not the people. Don't for a second think otherwise.

Cute how you see things 12clicks but I can tell you grew up living and now live a very spoiled and sheltered life, away from all real life things. Probably wouldn't last the first few days of a revolution sad to say. :( Sorry bud.

The way it works would be this: the US president or whoever gives an order to fire on an armed group of rebellious traitors. The military wouldn't want to side with a group of idiots with small guns because they know if the government has even a small fraction of the military support, that small group of idiots will be the losing side.

Which military general wants to be the one that sides with what he sees as the losing side? All they care about is honor and pride, they don't give two shits about the people and citizens.

Anyone with an ambition to take over the country takes the guns into consideration. The "New World Order" people have to be very sneaky. You're unlikely to see an overtly tyrannical police state any time soon.

They would have a fight on their hands if they tried to go door to door rounding people up for internment camps. The rebels aren't going to stand out in the open where the army can use their superior weapons.

The US Army is demoralized fighting the sand people. Imagine how they will feel fighting a guerrilla war against Americans. So it is unlikely that the Army will ever be used against its own people, for the simple reason that it won't be easy.

Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

usa has never protected canada from anything. Quite the opposite infact.

Really? Entertain us please, which war?

I'll be the first to agree that Markham usually talks out of his ass, but I thought he was dead on this time.

What exactly did you find dumb about that comment?
.

this.....

Don't bother the guy is beyond dumb if he thinks the different factions in the US are going to come together in anything like the numbers, in relationship to the population, as they did when fighting the British.

Think of the scenario it would take to bring the people together and then wonder if that would happen. But then some Americans believe the Anti Christ is on his way.

The only cohesive faction there is is the religious right.

Do you notice he hasn't really answered it, just slinging insults?

He will now tell us I'm not worth answering to cover his failure of being able to.

The size of the balls of Adult Webmasters.

Speaking big on a board. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Real action, like confronting Mallick, Ibill or Fabian at a show? :Oh crap :Oh crap

Kissing asses to earn a buck. :thumbsup :thumbsup

I rest my case. It's always easy arguing with the morons.. Please continue making shit up, dumbass.:1orglaugh

this idiot must think he gets paid per post.
its not like any thought goes into the posts.

its just hilarious reading the posts of non-americans and their lack of understanding of who we are.
This is why as a country we're so successful. We have a mindset thats so far beyond what other countries have that you can't even explain it to them.

son, you're clueless.

You and Demon are so deluded it's a joke. The US was great, it's now supported by massive loans it can't repay and on it's way down. Sad because I love the US and what it used to stand for. And I greatly admire what it has achieved in the past by great men.

You're ass is going to be owned by the Chinese soon. Look at the labels on all the things you own and see who made them.

"Made in the USA" is becoming a great way of selling antiques. :1orglaugh

Demon I knew you didn't have an answer, with people like you in the fight. How long do you think it will last?

So you call me deluded and dumb because you made up what my assertion/opinion was? And you continue to do so? Please, stop embarrassing yourself.

No I called you dumb because you can't tell us why you think my statement about the religious right is the most likely scenario of Americans rising up.

I called you deluded because you are. As you don't explain, I won't either. :1orglaugh

Are you old enough to be on this board?

I've already called you out on your statement because it has no factual basis to it.. You're good at making shit up and passing it off as fact. Are you intelligent enough to be on this forum?

moeloubani you really should stop pretending you are speaking for all canadians because I have yet to meet one with such uneducated, unread and internet video fueled nonsense in my entire life... stop saying treason... treason is when one person does something against their country or betrays their allegiance ie gives out secrets etc.. going in and blasting guns for no reason is simply murder. When it's a group or militia that is backed up by their own constitution, they have the right to take up arms and the right to rise against tyranny either foreign or domestic. That's not the right to go in and shoot them up either but they have the right to stand up for their rights as they should. It only sounds barbaric to you because you have only decided to believe that there is only two types of people, one who don't like guns and gun crazed yokels who spend every extra penny they have on ammo waiting for shit to hit the fan... The truth is there are plenty of sensible people who believe in that right and freedom both educated and accomplished so lets simmer down the ignorance a bit shall we?


Paul Markham believes that the (currently overtaxed, overstretched) american army would happily steam roll over their own people, their own cities, their own families... that shit is funny... Seriously do you even believe that or you just trolling as usual? They aren't trained murderers.. they are trained soldiers, if you knew anything about soldiers you would be aware of this already.

see, once again, you look at our problems with your third world eyes and see that your third world solutions wouldn't fix our problems.
Sadly, for your attempt to seem intelligent, we can easily solve our problems. Our so called poor live better lives than you do, paul.

what's that feel like?:1orglaugh

I'm not Canadian, and from there your post went downhill.

Treasonists are the losers.

To be a soldier you have to be trained to a very high level to kill on the orders of others. Without standing there and thinking if it's a good idea or a bad idea. If you knew anything about soldiers you would understand what the training involves.

The number of times trained soldiers have turned their guns on civilians is so many it's not worth discussing. For some reason people think the US soldiers would be different. If it was the over whelming masses it wouldn't need the Army. The possibility of that is as remote as some here gaining some common sense.

The over whelming majority of Americans would put up with almost anything if they can still switch on their TVs and go raid the fridge. That saddens me because I have nothing but admiration for Americans who did stand up to tyranny. In the Revolution, Civil War, Civil Rights, Anti Vietnam and 2 World Wars.

Look around you at today. The Enron Crisis and other company corporates who robbed you, Iraq War, crashing economy because of greed, President stealing an election and probably other things that would of brought millions onto the streets. Barely gets a whimper these days.

You are in the top ten of the most ignorant...clueless people on this board...you just don't get it and never will. Virtually every post you make is based upon ignorance.

agree with you there. can't remember the last time the old man didn't make a post that wasn't sheer ignorance or delusion, and i have a great memory.

so you think the US military would roll tanks down 'Main Street' USA?

This thread is gone too far.

:2 cents::2 cents:

nice...i will read this thread tonight haven't had a nice political shit slinging thread in awhile

Wow. Excellent post, well done!

It has been done before and would be done again...if the administration came to believe that it is necessary.

Ever heard of the Nuclear Umbrella supplied to Canada...by the U.S. during the cold war and still exists to this very day?

Good points.

craziness

So let's imagine a scenario where armed Americans take to the streets to over throw the Government.

In the fantasy world of some, the Army sit back and do fuck all while these armed civilians force a change in Government. At the front of this armed rebellion is some of the keyboard warriors posting here. The Government gives in and goes off in fast retreat and the rebels take over.

Or they lose and the Government forgive them because they were revolutionaries.

And they live happily ever after.

IN THE REAL WORLD.

The army is called out and rounds up the rebels. The moment they start firing the Army gets tough and the armed rebels come off far worse. The ring leaders are put on trial for treason and executed, those found to be firing are also put on trial.

And the Government carries on as it is.

Also in the Fantasy World, 300 million Americans rise up.

Of course in the Real World, 300,000 might wave a banner. :Oh crap

But go on dreaming 12clunks, your balls might grow if you do.

These clowns live in a World where the US Army of trained soldiers is no match against rednecks with guns. Because they can shoot at Bambi. :1orglaugh

They don't even bother to hit Google and see how many time the National Guard have been called out and USED EFFECTIVELY against US civilians armed or not.

You've been through boot camp so have an idea of what training is about these days for the elite units.

We agree at last. :thumbsup

I love the idiot ramblings of senile old third worlders.
They always imagine that Americans (including our soldiers) are the same as the third world trash they live with.

If your scenario ever happened most on this board would be scared shitless.

But the real truth is in the part I hi lited.

If the society broke down then the Government would have to proclaim ML. Otherwise the streets will belong to every bunch of Gangsters, far Left, far Right, Religious Nuts or just the type of people who run around the woods playing soldiers at the weekend. Anyone with the most guns and will to use them and would rule.

That might be the Generals in command of the Army, if they sit back it would be your worse nightmare.

Ordinary people like you Demon 12 Clicks would be barricading yourself indoors and hiding behind your sofas. The only thing that keeps you safe and free are the police, Army and ultimately the Government. Without them we're all in the shitter.

You're living in a dream world if you think you have the same capacity for violence as Gangs, Gangsters, Extremist groups or weekend soldiers (militia).

This shit still going on??

The problem with dreaming is in dreams, things turn out for the better. Reality is where things don't always go as smoothly as in dreams.

300,000k armed citizens march on the Government, local or Federal and demand what?

Or they start shooting people and then what?

In dreams everyone joins in and the Government is overthrown and the people who replace it are nice and lower taxes, make the unemployed work, send back all the illegal immigrants and solve all the Nations problems.

In reality a scenario like after the French, Russian, Chinese Revolutions and countless others take place. Society, Democracy and the rule of law is slung out the window. But Americans are different.

When The South overwhelmingly disagreed with the laws The North was passing. The North invaded and settled with?

Yes you're spot on. With the ARMY killing US citizens.

This says a lot about people with balls in Eastern Europe.
