Maineprepper nails it! Some great perspective all of us could use during these chaotic times.

What a lot of people fail to understand is that fighting, or resistance, whatever you want to call it, can be accomplished without violence. It's a pill that's bitter and hard to swallow, especially when our culture makes films like Tombstone, Rambo, and others that say "you only have to kill the bad guys to win."

MP is one of the wisest liberty-minded men I think I've ever seen.

I actually forgot about MP, He is a smart man no question. I don't ALWAYS agree with him but more often then not I do. I subscribed again.

Now as far as alienating the military my stance has always been "shake my head" when someone joins. Do I have HATE for them? Not at all. When I picture tyranny on a large scale I view the military when on an individual level as being a good guy.

The military hasnt progressed to the "Them vs Us" mentality the way that many LEOs have. We do need to keep that the case.

The way I see it is that law enforcement alienated me and not the other way around. Aslong as the military dosent alienate me I won't alienate them. And I don't mean that as an agressive thing or that I'm better then them so they best be actin right or else. Were on a level playing field. Mutual friends if you will. Neither owes the other anything. Your cool with me so I'm cool with you. If you think I'm not being cool to you then come rock my world. I'd do the same for you guys.

Now that we've got that squared away lets take back our country.

This was a really interesting video.  It's pretty much what I'd already decided to do in a SHTF scenario, though I'd not really thought about the military.  I mean no offense to an Christians on this site, but I do know that there are as many crazy Christian groups here as there are "jihadi" (if you'll forgive the term) Muslim groups over in the Middle East.  I figured in a SHTF people would be freaking out and likely to get real fundamentalist real quick - humans tend to blame the "other" for what's going wrong in their life.  My Gods never issued an injunction about denying them in public - should the need arise I figure I'll join a nice, little local church and still go out to worship my Gods under the full moon.  Great cover, no itchy trigger fingers pointed at me because I'm "different".  I kind of figure I'd do the same with the military, whether I like them occupying my town or not, should it ever come down to it.  Play nice, do what I need to do when they're not looking.  True, it's risky, but better to live and fight another day, as the saying goes, than go down in a dumb-ass, public blaze of glory. Joan of Arc, I am not.  Freedom of speech/assembly/etc. can't be guaranteed or even expected in a SHTF scenario.  Maybe it makes me "fake" or cowardly or some such, but I'd rather be a live chameleon than a dead martyr.
