There are 200 million (200,000,000) armed Americans in this country - so let's say that only 1% decided to stand up and fight - that's 2 million (2,000,000) shooting which is abut the size of our total military.
And a military will not engage in a 1 on 1 fight !

The USA has a battle hardened military.

Many have gone through Iraq and Afghanistan.

Those who are capable will be the one's that will be put in command of the units deployed on the streets of America.

I hope to f*ck it won't happen but with the impending collapse of the oil dollar and the subsequent hyper inflation that will happen all I can think of is those solders will follow the chain of command and do as they are told to do.

They are conditioned for the worst.

I disagree fella, there are many who will follow their basic training.
They will follow orders and many will have been desensitized to the horrors of war after their tours of said battlefields.

That said, implying that taxation is something to kill over is ridiculous. And if you think that was really the greatest cause of the Revolutionary War, you're a fine product of our education system.

Mostly it was tea smugglers who didn't like the competition cutting
into their profits (read up on Alexander Hamlton's history) and the
taxes they were protesting were to cover the huge expense Britain
spent protecting the Colonies during the Seven Years' War (French &
Indian War if you only have a half-assed understanding of history).

If civil war were to break out, the best thing to do if forced to fight is to resort to gorilla warfare. Don't look for a fight, and stop the fight from coming to your community. Thanks to the media, and govt tactics My fellow Americans are more divided than a step family at a thanksgiving dinner.

I have been in combat, and have been deployed to dangerous areas, and I'm telling you all right now that is the last thing DHS, or any sect of the Federal Govt were to attempt doing is making the suicidal mistake of trying to dis-arm Americans, because that would bring the whole country together very rapidly to put a stop to that tyranny. The best way for them to hit us is economically, stomping us out by starving us out, ergo why the the fed reserve keeps up the inflation. They are starting to do that in full force now and have been doing a damn good job of it.

What worries me is the United Nations getting involved and foreign troops on our soil acting like "heros" amidst the chaos. That is how our govt will fight against us violently because they know our military is very low in moral right now, and the trust from the American people has diminished since the false flag of 911 up to now.

History shows that govt's and empires use foreigners to attack it's own people. There are many scenarios we all can look at and we can talk about them all night until we are blue in the face, that won't change a thing. The answer is to prepare yourselves buy food, weapons, ammunition and inform your loved ones and what people you actually trust. It's not much but that is all we can do unfortunately is just sit and wait.

My understanding is that while that was one major cause, another great influence was widespread belief (among the 'patriots') in a British conspiracy to enslave the colonies.

Plus all but a select few have never fought outside a desert, let alone the backwoods on the south east.

Enslave how? Half the people in the colonies remained loyal to the
UK throughout the revolution and many fought for the British. I've
never heard of any enslavement worries. Lots of worries when the
Brits offered the black slaves their freedom. Armed a lot of them too.
At that time Britain was already easing out of the acceptance of slavery
especially with the Somersett case in 1772.

Dude, most soldiers, even in the Guard, have some urban warfare
training.

I've had that training, it's not anywhere near urban like you would see in any american city. Almost all training area's the military uses are single story and 1-3 bedrooms. There are some that change little details and some that are fairly realistic, but these guys just aren't trained to say clear out a 10 story 200+ apartment building, plus the UAV's would be fairly useless seeing how compact everything is.

Not to mention it's a hell of a different story killing people who don't speak or act like you and you are on another continent. I don't think anyone would be prepared to gun down other americans in LA or NY.
