And they did not kick the US military's ass. They kicked the ass of a handfull of special forces guys.

If we'd been stupid enough to continue the fight, one B-52 would have all but destroyed them.

a handful of spec forces, a few armored personnel carriers, half a dozen gunships......but that huge advantage of numbers didnt seem to register with you. The US military is less than 3 million while our adult populace is over 100 million.

You must have have had a really bad history teacher because the south was winning that war for the first half so where do you get 'having their asses handed to them'?

It wouldn't be very long before the 'uprisers' were similarly armed. Do you think we'd just leave that equipment alone? The government WOULD have to face us on even terms eventually.

I find it amusing that you have to resort to the 'nonsensical, quasi-paranoid' title like all others who can't defeat the good logical argument.
