[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 1586145, member: 2415"] I am thankful to lived in an armed society, but to call that group an 'army' is a little boastful. A well disciplined, trained, cohesive, and supplied fighting force can defeat a numerically significant army of amatuers any day. The krauts almost took Soviet Russia, for pete's sake. A bunch of guys with guns only marginally corresponds to 'safety'. When Yamamoto made his quote, rural USA consisted of a bunch of farmers dependant upon thier own marksmanship to eat. Modern USA may possess more guns, but mostly recreational hunters. Be proud of our potential ability for defense, but please regard that popping a bunch of deer rifles at an organzised enemy rifle squad looks an aweful lot like insurgents in Iraq. Guess what? Those dudes have surplus class III and RPGs laying around, and the US Military still persists in those regions. [/QUOTE]
