To quote many of our warriors: “If they shoot at me I will shoot at them.”

Well I might be wrong so I will research it. However I have read about the infamous Sherman march to the sea and Sherman gave strict orders not to rape or murder southern civilians I assumed that was a general policy and not unique to General Sherman.

Isn't it against the rules of war (Yeah I know) for a solider of one side to pretend to be a solider of the other side? Those are some really low class trooper asking for food. I'd have hanged them had I been in command.

“general policy”

I am sure you will find a ‘stated” policy to that effect. But the actual policy, “a hard war” was different. I started to read a history book about the martial law enforced in the South during the Civil War and I literally could not finish it. The Federals convinced themselves - viewed the war in the South as a crime-in-process and acted accordingly.

I don’t know about you, but I will fight to death to protect home and hearth. I may not fight as effectively as a male, but that is because I was and am expected to play with Barbies and wear beautiful pink dresses, just like you were taught to apply makeup instead of firing a gun.

When the time comes, the Army of Texas will not allow REMFs in their ranks.

I was on active duty from 76-84. It was a challenge, no doubt about it.

Pretty sad when a woman can fire a gun at home but not in the military. Don’t you find that odd?

"I am coming around to the view that Obama seeks to provoke a violent confrontation with conservative America before he leaves office. His spiteful, vindictive, in-your-face actions get more destructive every day. And all of the world leaders that he admires imprison and/or execute their political foes. His purge of the military is critical to securing his gains, and was probably planned long before he ever ran for president. Possibly it was planned before his leftist handlers even knew Obama would be The One."

I believe this is also why Obama has been waging a war on military vets in many ways including putting them at the top of every potential "domestic terrorist" list. He has repeatedly tried to deny them rights to carry firearms on the basis that they have PTSD and therefore are mentally unfit to possess firearms. He knows that in any attempt to impose martial law the vets would be the natural leaders of any organized resistance.
