Why You've Never Heard of the Great Depression of 1920

I'm not sure how or how much of the military would be. Civil war is not easy. It only really sustains if some part of the population seeks to benefit from some future disposition to the detriment of other parts of the population. E.g: Lincoln, Northern Banks, railroad companies and domestic producers benefited at the expense of exporters and Southern/MidWest agriculture before and during the Civil War.

But I don't know how the military would feel they would "benefit" so it's a tough call.

Blending in with your environment and decentralization of activity are key as well. That's the essence of how guerrilla warfare works.

Then improvise. Case in point: Insurgents in Iraq have destroyed tanks, helicopters and other armored vehicles with items they literally find in a city dump or around the house. But they are also selective of when they attack, attacking at times and places of lower defenses than higher: e.g. attacking someone outside of their house exposed as opposed to when they're IN their house covered.

@thomasst2 in case you haven't noticed, the art of war and weapons in general have advanced ALOT since those times. no matter how resilient and tactical you are, your shotgun can't take down a tank, and there's no way civilians like us could get a hold of something that could take it down, assuming that the entire military is involved in this hypothetical takeover

We did pretty well against the British Empire using guerrilla warfare with light arms. The same way the British light ships defeated the Spanish Armada. The same way the Russians were defeated by the Afghans, or the US lost in Vietnam and in Somalia, or how we've been bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan now. Large militaries always exhaust resources, suffer immense casualties or go bankrupt fighting smaller , cheaper guerrilla forces.

@mikeoneal22 haha, because the day the evil tyrannical liberal government takes over, you and all your NRA buddies are going to take on tanks and bombs with your shotguns and pistols, right?

i'm all for gun rights btw, but not for that reason....
