Not really. It comes down to if you have Raytheon in your backyard and give a poo poo about bombing hillbillies. I don't see hesitating being a problem for folks on that one. Christ, I bet half the military would pay *us* for the privilege. The problem with dumb fucks talking about their militia and their gun collection and how they'd do in a fight is it's all dick waving overcompensation bullshit. That's not how real wars are fought today. Soldiers exist to hold ground and advance where civilian life is a concern. Otherwise you just loving level everything and call it a day. If there was a "Civil War" today, it'd be a bunch of hicks having their water supplies dusted and their diabetes medication no longer shipped out and they'd be dead inside a week because they'd have stress eaten their 6 month supply of dehydrated ration packs and that'd be that.

This is dumb. You can only carpet bomb with the support of the rest of the country. If you massacre civilians in california, the outrage mobilizes rebel elements in the other states. Putting down a civil war would have to be done on the ground with soldiers, and done quickly before the rest of the county lose stomach for it.

Also mid east goat herders aren't born any tougher then anybody else. The have become hardened thru decades of war, and american civilians would undergo a similar process as a war dragged on.
