      No offense to the fat patrol but the Ukrainian military is having trouble with the Russian military, and they both have heavy ordnance.

      A grenade launcher and a couple of miniguns vs national guard would be more like another Waco than a civil war.

      You know the size of the US military. Even in the extremely unlikely scenario that those militias manage to band together, right under the FBI’s nose, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

      And even if they did, it would hardly be a nation split. Most people would just see it as “our military vs. some extremist crackpots (or terrorists)”

      Just tells the infantry where to call in mortar fire. Nobody has anything to say when the 120 rounds start landing from a mile away.
