The same US military that is batting a fat zero in winning wars of insurgency? Remember all those videos of afghan people getting killed in thermal vision from “a mile away”? Those guys won.

Yeah, on foreign soil and across the world. Lol I want to see what they can do at home especially now that their ethics are out the window.

It’s worse than what was faced overseas, here at home you have large number of War on Terror veterans. Trained, armed and experienced, many disillusioned with the tilting of the government, and the media, and the populace around them. There’s been a blue shift in both active duty and veteran communities.
The optimist in me hopes it’s enough.

Why would their “ethics” come into play in foreign soil? You don’t think Cletus might think twice when asked to fire hell fire missiles into Grand Papas house?
The us did not have a lack of boom overseas, its always had the logistics to put “warheads on foreheads” anywhere in the world.
In the “homeland”? I don’t think you even understand the sort of cluster fuck of a military operation you are proposing. Like do you think if a civil war broke out, all the “sides” would separate and fly a flag? At this point it would be like other modern civil wars with a just mess of sides and no clear front.
