Aren't all ideals like that or are you specially excluded? I basically think the same thing about your response to my statements, that they are misconceptions based on your surroundings. --- Quote from: IkeTheGeneric on April 16, 2015, 12:05:34 PM ---You have absolutely no idea how a modern-day north american government would react to a rebellion --- End quote --- And I suppose you do? |

Well dropping nuke on your own country is a bad idea for many reasons. Crop irradiation, water commination, large unintended civilian casualties. Do all those things, you will turn more of your own people against you. Plus no one wants to support or ally a country that nukes its own people. Take Rhodesia for example. A country fighting communist rebels during the cold war, however they lost foreign support and as result the rebels kicked out all the remaining white people and ran the country into debt. Rolling tanks and armored vehicles around is bad idea for many reasons. The rebels can run off into hiding and avoid most confrontations with a mechanized force. In Afghanistan all the Mujahedeen had to do was lay anti tank minds and engage and observe. Transports like BMPs became metal coffins for their passengers and their crews, tanks were destroyed. Even in Chechnya the best soviet tank was of no help. Roll a something big, and it becames a big game hunt. Look at the Balkans, the Serbs tried to attack a town with Tanks and ended up losing them all in that attack |

Yes, because in the event of an insurgency the government is just going to carpet bomb/nuke/roll tanks through cities and alienate swathes of american suburbia to kill some rednecks, because that won't alienate the population and ultimately work against them! It's not like they've already learned this lesson from the wars in bumforgetistan! --- End quote --- I really do not want to take that chance |
