There is one main reason why this country has never been physically invaded...the largest armed civilian population in the world.
I am former military and retired law enforcement. I swore an oath on several occasions and in each event was not kidding.
I have cried many times at events where the National Anthem or Americas the Beautiful was played. As Yoda would say. "Defend her, I will."
The Oathkeepers are putting themselves out there for public display of the enemy...and while I would normally warn against that, something tells me the time is right (or ripe).

"We say if the American people decide it's time for a revolution, we'll fight with you."
Oath Keepers has it 180 degrees backwards. A revolution can only occur against a government's existing laws, in this case the Constitution. The people seek to prevent a revolution by defending, not overthrow the Constitution. BO and his fellow socialists in Congress are the revolutionaries.

the Oath Keepers hope to prevent cities from becoming “giant concentration camps,”
**************************************
most big cities are liberal blue cesspools, so why would they turn them into camps?
The cities may become battlefields in CWII, and some may burn, but I think of it as urban renewal.

I’m no fan of theirs.
They’re not especially enamored of folks like me.
So it’s mutual. They should know that I’ve got a List, too.
You get special mention, Travis, as they’ve chosen to take one of your pictures and make it into one of their ‘bogeymen’. That’s rich, and a complete inversion of reality.
On the serious side, I’ve sworn the same oath my father did so many years ago. Like my father before me, I am a rifleman and a patriot. Let scum like the SPLC make the most of it.

They just need to amend that pesky Constitution. Get rid of the “mistakes” like the BOR etc. Give it the full Obama makeover.
Won’t be easy, though. Millions of us swore to defend the Constitution we have, and we’re armed, and we don’t forget an oath.

They just need to amend that pesky Constitution. Why would they bother with that? It's not like it's actually been observed for the last few decades or anything.

It’s said that Admiral Yamamoto, architect of the Pearl Harbor attack, declared the impossibility of a land invasion of the United States by noting that “there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass” confronting any invader.
Some challenge the veracity of this quote, but history confirms Yamamoto’s reluctance to attack the “sleeping giant”.
IMHO, a rifle behind a blade of grass can be aimed in any direction. The sleeping giant is known to bitterly cling to guns and religion.

Why would they bother with that? [Amending the Cons.]It's not like it's actually been observed for the last few decades or anything. Because if they stretch the real Constitution too far, they may ignite a foreceful countermovement to defend the Constitution. Including by members of the military and LE.
OTOH, if they ram through some Marxist-oriented constitutional convention, then the military will simply have a "new" constitution to defend. One that say, enshrines income guarantees, free housing, free medical, redistribution of wealth, no 2nd Amd, etc.
Many or most in the military would gladly accept the "new" constitution. That is the coming gambit, a few years hence.

Estimated right now....50 million armed Americans. Find a bigger force!!!!
And as a someone with prior military experience, I can tell you that most soldiers in any organized Army or militia are only issued one firearm. How many of "we" 50 million have more than just one gun to turn to???

Well, I am not a member of Oath Keepers but I did take more than one oath. I intend to honor them.
