if there ever comes a time when the citizens must rebel against a common enemy, i believe there will be a great loss of life as well as "organized chaos." i think that the superpower of the u.s.military is great, yet backwoods militia fighters may have the upper hand in close-quarter combat due to familiarity with the local terrain.

my dad was in the air force and i have a strong interest in military hardware and techniques. personally, i love guns. i've always had them. funny thing tho-i've never had the inclination to shoot someone. that's weird huh? anyway, i think we should have the right and that rebels would indeed have a chance against anything. just look at the palestinians in israel's occupied territories. they throw rocks and molotovs and effectively keep enemies at bay and the international press afraid of entering their areas. another example is the chechnyans....
