As they discussed the killing of U.S. citizens by drone attacks, some retired colonel on Fox & Friends this morning made it quite clear that any U.S. citizen who attacked “the United States” is fair game to be killed by the government.
Those who take up arms against the government should fully expect that.
The East German model for resistance is preferable. Mass refusal to go to work: no trucks to bring food and fuel to cities, no utilities, no hospitals open etc. etc. No government can survive a mass strike by millions of its suppliers of goods and services.
Does that include the U.S. citizens in the uniforms, flying the attack helicopters and driving the tanks?
Kinda raises the question, who is the US? The civilians or the government?

I agree that this is definitely a preferable first line of attack. Americans aren’t like the French; they’re not *used* to massive strikes, and if enough p!ssed off Americans strike, it will get their attention. At that point the people who aren’t striking will either (a) join the strikers; (b) think they’re crazy but maintain neutrality, or (c) complain bitterly to the powers that be that they had better solve this situation pronto! Any of these outcomes (or all at the same time) are vastly preferable to a shootin’ war.
