A Winner is Jew posted:Texas is the only state to worry about, and the fact that CA not only equals them in bases but also produces the vast majority of military air craft means that while they have more firepower, the rest of the US that won't rebel has way more than they do. This is really stupid, "bases" isn't a good metric, lots of those are admin or navy stuff that wouldn't be helpful. And LOL at "producing" aircraft. Component manufacturing is scattered all over the place. Actual combat aircraft are, I believe also heavily concentrated in the south and the west. Guess what liberal, dense, urban areas don't want near them? Things that make lots of noise or explosions. Active duty Army Brigade Combat Team figures, may be off by 1 due to deactivations/consolidations in the last couple of years, I'm mostly low balling and assuming deactivations have happened: Texas: 7 Georgia: 3 North Carolina: 3 Kansas: 3 Kentucky: 3 New York: 2 Louisiana: 1 Alaska: 2 Hawaii: 2 Washington: 3 Colorado: 3 The south dominates. Stateside Marines are mostly in CA or NC, if I recall correctly.

The south also contributes a greatly disproportionate number of enlistments. And servicemen are heavily republican.

The minorities are heavily in support jobs and there for the paycheck. The infantry and tankers who signed up to kill someone are disproportionately white. I was a combat arms artillery officer for 8 years. (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
