Our military does not do well when fighting people who are fighting for their freedoms on their own turf. We lost in Vietnam and are now leaving Afghanistan before we officially loose that war as well. When the freedom fighters can hit and then fade back into the local civilian population our military is hamstrung. If it happens here it will be Vietnam X 100. The other thing to take a good strong look at is the "oath keepers" If someone really thinks that US military will kill our own people they better think again. It would be much more likely that the military would depose the new dictator and put our country in the hands of the Leader of the House as our new president.

I take respectful issue with that, at worst we left it as a draw with never a lost battle, and promised to supply the south with munitions which CONgress subsequently reneged on. Not to mention the fact that high level policy whonks admitted publically that they never intended it to be a “won” war (which, in a just world, would have had them rotting from a lamppost in an iron maiden).
