Not with Ft. Hood inside your borders......
The Feds have Military bases all over the world.
One in the Country of TEXAS is not unworkable.
Plus we have a terrorist living openly in Houston and NO one is doing anything about it.

That’s why they have velcro on the BDU’s where you can afix the flag of your choice...
Who is Ft. Hood named for, hmmmm?
“Not with Ft. Hood inside your borders......”
I couldn’t help but notest the words of the Ft. Hood commander in speaking of the tragedy of the Muslim soldier shooting so many others, as being a Tragedy for Central Texas more then just Ft. hood.
Texas, perhaps more then any State cares deeply for the army, navy, and air-force.
While other States frequently shun them or give them a cold shoulder, Texas Embraces and welcomes them with open arms, and all the love Texas has to give.
Texas has a long history of this respect and revelation of the Military tradition, she also has the largest State militia forces in the United States, thats a lot when you look at how small and relativity cheap the Texas State government is % wise.
I think it is very unlikely the Military would be happy about or willing to make war on Texas, it is in my opinion, far more likely that they would do the same thing they did last time before the Civil war, Surrender/refuses to fight, and either be allowed to depart Texas in peace or more likely join Texas. Its a hell of a lot better fighting for a country that loves you, then it is fighting for a country that only uses you when they need you and hates you the rest of the time.
Fort Hood doesn’t have enough power to do it even if they had the will. Thats a big base, but Texas is enormous. That’d be like asking Ft hood to conquer something a little bigger than Ukraine,,,while standing on top of it’s own very vulnerable logistical tail. What happens to wife and kiddos while the tanks are out conquering Texas?
How does fuel get to the tanks from one end of the state to the other? etc etc,,,
And that doesn’t even account for how many soldiers would be on the Texan side.
Ask Santa Anna how that strategy works in Texas. FOr further edification, review Red Dawn.
But last,, read the treaty by which Texas joined the Union. The right to secede or further divide into other states is spelled out clearly.
