You make good sense, and as the child of a Navy Seal I am very aware that Vets are capable of forming deadly small and larger scale militias. But I also think there are military capabilities--using sound, chemicals, drones, etc that would be hard to go up against for citizen warriors--not impossible but not easy. All that being said, I believe the military is behind Trump...this is essential..despite the small number of treasonous generals that he keeps exposing. I don't think Biden would command the loyalty or conviction that Trump does. Lets hope we never have to test either of our points of view with the reality of Americans fighting in our streets in a full fledged civil war.
Yes, in a straight up contest of military might the militias would lose easily. But not every weapon can be used in every situation and militias do tend to have certain strengths that an organized military doesn't have - such as a less centralized chain of command. Trump could put out a call to arms and the militias would be able to show up a lot faster than their equivalent amount of professional soldiers. That is why the colonial militias were called minutemen - because they could just receive a call and show up very soon after. Not through some technological or training advantage, but because they didn't have to wait to receive orders from those who had to receive orders (and so forth and so on).
Totally agree...and like many British soldiers in the Revolutionary war, current military personnel would not be full in on a battle against American citizens fighting for their own country. I think the military would be very divided with many "deserting" to join the militias. Ultimately, much of the war would continue to be an information war, and this is another advantage I believe the digital militia would have..there are just too many of us.
