Re: Drone Footage of Homs, Syria
Then I, and like minded citizens, would take up arms in rebellion. I certainly wouldn't FLEE to some foreign country hoping they'd take me in.
You don't know what you and your buddies with your little AR-15's and crap would do when faced with the full brunt of the US Military.
After a few passes overhead of the B-52's, B-1's, Apache attack helicopters, F-16's, F-35's, and the likes....you might all be too busy pissing into your own pants to even consider trying to make it to Canada or Australia.
Your little romantic notion of defeating a full-blown government assault on the civilian population is just mind-fodder.
It sounds all good in theory to think about it, but keep in mind how easily most people could be "defeated" by the government just severing all power, communications, and supply lines to the general public.
One month with no fresh water from the faucets. No toilets. No sewage treatment. No garbage collection. No food. No electricity. No heat. No a/c. No gasoline.
No contact with anyone outside of shouting distance. No internet. No TV. No lights. No money. No banks.
Then add to that complete and utter destruction of everything that's "modern society" through brutal air attacks by airplane so freakin' high in the sky you hear the bombs exploding before you can ever notice there's even planes in the sky.
Then let that scenario happen over and over again for YEARS.
I don't doubt for a second there'd be tens of millions of "Americans" fleeing for safer lands.
And I for one would certainly not infer they were "cowards" for doing so.
