will, i appreciate your attempt at 'shooting down' my argument, but I think you seriously overestimate our military and are extremely underestimating the american public at large. If you truly believe that 12 to 18 MILLION have no chance against even the total cooperation of the military strength at 4 million, then there seems to be no reasoning with you in that sense. Not that you don't have the ability to, I just feel that you're not truly seeing the numbers correctly.
