Lets see, wide spread insurrection over 50 states with only 20 thousand troops tasked to deal with it, that’s 400 troops per state...unless they can raise large numbers I don’t give the “civilian suppression squads “ great odds!

Did you notice the link I posted shortly afterward? It's one site the info came from. If you read more elsewhere you find the in-country training soldiers have been doing to prepare for “foreign” uprisings have been junior officers. Perhaps the 20k is just the officers.

The link I posted has the Natl Guard being controlled by the states during the fight. It's an interesting read.

The more you read the less you need the tinfoil hat and the more you need a helmet, The Constitution, and plenty of weaponry.
