Don’t get me wrong, if WWII breaks out this old retired Master Sergeant is still able and ready to do his part, but I don’t relish the idea of going to war with my neighbors and family members. Lets pray for peace but get ready for war.

Your comment brings to mind what I said last week, causing a few other freepers to say I was being totally naive. I said I don't understand how a civil war would even work in the U.S. in 2021. There are leftist bastions in the west, southwest, northeast, upper midwest, and Hawaii. The remainder of the states are Republican (moderate, conservative, or RINO). Yet within each of the 50 states, there are large blocs of Democrats and large blocs of Republicans, intermixed at the state, city, county, township, neighborhood, apartment, and street levels, and even within an individual house or apartment unit (i.e., within the same extended or immediate family). Republicans & Democrats living next door, across the hallway, etc. Democrats & Republicans working side-by-side in businesses, in the government, etc. The same applies to the far smaller numbers of Independents and members of lesser-known Parties (e.g., Libertarian, Green, Constitution, etc.). So I don't understand how a Democrat vs. Republican civil war would even work. That same argument basically applies to a potential class war, religious war, gender war, racial war, sexual identity war, SJW war, and all the other potential types of civil wars (probably some other potential wars were omitted in this list). When I said I don't understand how any of those potential civil wars would work in 2021 America, a few freepers responded: Don't be simplistic; or You'll recognize it when it happens; or It's already here ... but of course, no further explanation or rationale was provided. If someone out there knows the right answer, I hope it can be explained in more than just a three-word response.
