#13  Even if Biden attacks the populace you guys aren't going to do anything about it.
Others will fight the fight and you will criticize them for being idiots. Yes, I'm talking to you J6 critics.

#10  Unless f16s can drop the water on the fires I do not think they would be useful to stop 1 million fires set in one evening

#8  the FIRST thing that the Government would have to do is get every last troop and their families on base behind barbed wire.

They would try. Most of our military, especially the combat arms, are from red states and they and possibly entire units would desert/defect on mass.

#7  Protests were triggered by the conviction and sentencing of opposition leader to two years in jail on charges of "corrupting" a young beauty salon worker, a conviction that will make him ineligible for the 2024 presidential elections.

Good thing that is Senegal.
That would never happen here.

#6  ^ what Mike says. The bases only have so much vehicle and aviation fuel. Lots of pipes between cracking plants and distribution points. No fuel no fly. While the uniforms can run Mogas on their vehicle* the aviation side of the house needs specialized stuff.

* unless its been revamped to green, then they're in the same spot as the aviation house.

#5  Nobody leader of a representative government threatens its own citizens with forever government.

Now, authoritarian government, such as dictatorships.

#4  ...It's been pointed out that if the Worst ever happened, and US citizens found themselves staring down the barrels of military weapons, the FIRST thing that the Government would have to do is get every last troop and their families on base behind barbed wire.

And then heavy escort of every. Single. Truck bringing supplies to said bases.

The first thing they'd have to do is triple the size of the military...and by the way - has anyone noticed how close all those F-16 bases sit to roads?

#2  Yes. Look at a map. Bombs can hit a small portion only.

Bomb the cities.

Oh, wait...

#1  Your offer has been considered, and accepted. Please bring your F-16s to fight a popular insurgency. I have 30 years of history in Vietnam and Afghanistan to bet you are a fucking moron.
