"But bunches of guys who are good with rifles are not an army. We would not last five minutes against a USMC rifle company."

Explain Afghanistan to me then. Or Iraq. Or Vietnam.

Or, on the road back to Concord from Lexington, through Valley Forge, all the way to Yorktown.

Exactly.

If civil war ever comes, you can throw standard military tactics out the window. It will be a Guerrilla campaign, and extremely nasty - think Kosovo.

My hope and prayer is that Republics soundly defeat the Dems in November, making them realize their anti-Trump platform does not and cannot work, and they elect new leadership putting them back on the course of civility.
I fear that is impossible at this point.

A. A USMC rifle company would on our side

B. So would a couple of million military veterans/retirees who know how to surgically hit targets
