Furthermore, the idea that some sort of rebellion would be all about air superiority and two armies clashing in the field is as naïve as the British were when they expected our ancestors to put on nice, colorful coats, line up in the open, and get shot to death by troops used to fighting that way. As I’ve noted before, a relatively small force of Americans with no planes, no artillery, and without even a centralized command could bring this whole country to its knees …
The defense for that IS NOT F-15s or nuclear weapons. It’s shared patriotism, dedication to the Constitution, a shared culture, a sense of community, a belief in law and order… all these things so many people on the Left laugh off or take for granted. Once we get to the point where we’re two tribes with different value systems that hate and fear each other to such an extent that we smile when the other side experiences misfortune or death, all the F-15s in the world aren’t going to fix that.
