Dave; If you don't like the subject, don't read it. The point is Americans are hearing about IED's killing other Americans almost every day. Even if the ratio is ruff someone still goes down.
and as for sustainable.
One can make BP from a compost pile and some charcoal given the right amount of time. Yes, its sustainable Long term warfare.
By, ?sustainable? I mean this dictionary definition:
able to be maintained or kept going, as an action or process
The only reason why any fight(s) in the M.E. have lasted so long is because Islam is particularly good at recruiting thoughtless zealots from around the world to be effectively culled off by us on a regular basis (well, I suppose not just religious; external nations provide support in the form of logistical supply trains) We certainly are
not, contrary to popular belief,
losing a damn thing overseas.
Discussions like this make us (the prepper community) look like radical extremists; I thought this page was about prepping? Hell, the
name is, ?Straight Prep?.
Preparation for violent defense, such as protection of self and family during a large civil disturbance (large-scale natural disaster, limited nuclear exchange, massive terrorist attack, zombie uprising etc ad nauseum) and preparation for fighting a numerically superior force (your, ?governmental takeover? idea) are distinctly two totally and completely different things. I don?t know if you?re just pretending to be obtuse or just can?t actually see the difference.
To be completely honest, I find shit like this
embarrassing to read. I have spent quite of bit of time training men to counter guerrilla tactics and even more time doing it myself. We already have enough violations of OSINT all over the internet for me to even risk that any TTP?s were further disclosed. Oh, yes, I can give you multiple good reasons why a guerrilla fight against the USG would be totally fruitless and would end quickly but my guess is that they would fall upon deaf ears. My final thought is that, yes, I know who has been training US forces to fight against shit just like you are describing and I?ve met many of the subpar people advocating for such a conflict. With this little insider nook I say, ?
Good fucking luck?.
If this is the kind of stuff this forum supports or endorses then I?m done.
