Whenever I hear something like this I can only smile and shake my head. Besides the points that Goshin brought up I'd like to bring to your attention the current war that we're in. The one called "The War on Terror". In it we are going against terrorists that essentially belong to no country. And we've been at this war for 15 years now. Tell me, how is this possible? If our military is so great then why are we still in this war? Those terrorists don't have all the things that our military does and yet we're STILL at it. And the funny thing here is that its not JUST our military that's involved in this WoT. Many other countries are all involved also and yet....15 years later....
Yeah....considering that, plus the points that Goshin brought up... I don't think putting down a rebellion is going to be near as easy as so many seem to think it will be. Particularly since the US already has wars on multiple fronts going on right now. Fighting a war on one front is easily handled (relatively speaking). Fighting a war on two fronts is unwise but doable. Fighting a war on 3 or more fronts is suicidal.
Frankly I actually do not mind if people continue to think the way that you do in this post. Underestimating ones enemy is always a bad thing. And I learned that in grade school via bullies. Plus, Sun Tzu was no slouch.
PS: As Darth Vader would say: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed....
(yes, yes I went there! :mrgreen: )
