I read, decades ago, an account of the Warsaw GHetto uprising that laid out the facts I remember imperfectly but the facts were that some dozens of Jews with just a couple handfuls of guns made the Germans hold several divisions of infantry from the line. Think of the force multiplier. Hundreds of people with dozens of guns made the enemy dedicate thousands of troops. Tens of thousands of troops. That could have otherwise been on the Eastern Front. That could have helped Hitler win the war. A few dozen guns.
in Ameerica—how many American Soldiers would fire on American civilians? How many would join them against the government? How many Officers? Not the same measurement at all.
But the point is a valid one.
