The right to bear arms

[kenmac]

You really think you have a chance against the modern American military??? Uh...No. The best solution is to keep our Democracy viable; and not stomping the crap out of it because "losing" sucks.

Did I say that ? Perhaps you need to reread what I actually said...

If the people had equal arms, they would stand a much better chance..
Look at Vietnam. They beat the military on their bicycles, and crude military equipment in the jungle.

No matter how you slice it, The U.S. didn't win that conflict with their ''modern military''

In Iraq, many multi million dollar helicopters were been brought down with a cheap RPG,

Tell that to a black man in the 1800's.

yeah, back then they kept arms away from blacks. Except when they needed them...
Now, they want to keep arms away from all of us

I remember when it was the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.

For some reason, the lesson of using your military as a police force hasn't really sunk in yet. The militarys job isn't to win the hearts and minds of people, it's to kill people.

As much as I was in disbelief when Bush Sr. pulled out so quickly, the reality is he use the military to accomplish an objective, and got them out. I've always respected him for that.

The movie Charlie Wilsons War with Tom Hanks followed this line. Interesting movie.
