Yup. Still, how are we doing with those armed tribal groups in Afghanistan? .................................... Tedious because they are being supplied by outside suppliers, have sanctuary beyond their borders, and we are not using the weapons we are capable of using. Our enemies would not be as nice to us on our land, you can be assured of that. Our lands would be the parking lots.

The Soviets didn't do so hot there either.

To a degree. The question is: Have we prepared? I say no. Believe it or not, the Bible has a very sophisticated and detailed system that has never been even understood, until now.

I think we tend to vision the militias as being what we see in the Hollywood Movies. There are too many factors to consider, running around in the woods, sleeping in tents and playing soldiers isn’t what it really is like. I noticed one of the sites tells you to pack light. I guess they don’t factor in the weight of support weapons, ammunition, the need to secure fuel, being able to transport undetected all the necessary items needed to support the mission, i.e. radios, medical supplies, food, water, and having trained medical personnel. When you are on the run where are you going to run to? The swamps of Florida? The mountains of the Rockies? How long will you last in any of those environments? Will the enemy really care if you are in the swamps or the mountains? What would be left of your cities? Are you going to fight like the “Wolverines” in the movie, with an endless supply of ammo? With the bad guys exposing themselves to get shot? Maybe the bad guys will not expose themselves and instead come at you with mini-guns, mortars and rockets? Who is going to supply you? Is there an outside source to smuggle in the items you need? Is there an international boundary where you can hide and regroup in another country? So many factors to consider, its not a “Call Of Duty” Video game.
