OK, so now we can get back to the original question of how successful the US military would be at countering a domestic insurgency. I think the evidence indicates it would be a nearly complete failure.
The insurgency or the counter? I suppose the branch davidians are still at large?
And the resistance might not have to achieve a decisive battlefield victory to "win".
Of course "victory" depends on your goals. In the case of the 2nd amendment, it would be to enforce "security of a free State". As in a seperate and defined geographic region. And so . ..
It's hard to picture exactly what would happen, but it's possible a meaningful coup could take place without the military ever being defeated.
In the case of a coup, the 2nd amendment would be absolutely irrelevant, because the entire government, including the Constition, would be bypassed entirely.
Yes you have seen my flaw. I don't consider us at war anymore, regardless of what Congress and the President say. We are now in occupation, an entirely different beast, and one the US has NEVER succeeded at, where there was any resistance, no matter how insignificant.
Sorry, but the less expensive arguement doesn't hold water. Homecooked food is faster than any restaurant food, but it's certainly not cheaper than boxed meals. Better, yes. Not cheaper.
the US military is unable to achieve victory in arms against the Iraqi insurgency
You are confused. Any time the Iraqi insurgency has taken "arms" against anything that resembles the US armed forces, they've either blown themselves up, or been pasted to the wall.
We HAVE won the "WAR". The old Iraqi government and power stucture has been annihilated. What we have failed at is either fully occupying the country and installing a US run government, or turning them loose to lick their wounds and regrow into a stronger (hopefully more sensible) independent nation. The insurgency's goal seams to be to provide proof that resistance exists, well fine. If they never win the support of a region, then all they ever amount to is a parasitic disease that aims to destroy it's host, unable to ever grow into a self sufficient entity. If they don't have a geographic region of support and control, then they DON'T HAVE A STATE, and thus do not fulfill the goals of the 2nd Amendment.
The victory in arms belongs to the US. I considered the war over a LONG time ago. Bush's 2nd big mistake was thinking that the US could impose a puppet democracy on the Iraqi people and culture. The 1st big mistake was, of course, going to war in the first place without an good and internationally recognized cause for doing so (or at least waiting until concrete proof that Iraq had attacked the US).
If I'm not too late for the reply, using the mouse to click search is a valid way to mentally transition from typing entry to mouse hyper link navigation. Especially since broadband makes results faster than comfortable transition from keyboard to mouse. It's also a good way to keep your hands busy while you pause and proofread your search.
It pains me to say this (because I wholeheartedly disagree with the ideas of slavery), but the US Civil War marked the last feasible attempt to counter the US government with force of arms. There will never be another chance. No matter how many registered hand guns, hunting rifles, or even National Guard armories a state's militia may have, it will never be able to stand toe to toe with the federal military forces. The states' counterbalance to the federal government as proscribed in the 2nd Amendment is gone. Yes I do interpret the 2nd amendment as referring to the 50 states individually.
As a clerk, I have to 100% agree with the problems with tabbing in GUI data entry. Very rarely does a program have a consistent, logical, and/or useful tabbing path. Also, a large portion of my mouse usage has to do with "discrete" action in over-bloated, though technically keyboard-able dialogs. The page and cell format dialogs in Word, for example, give so many options, that clicking through with the mouse saves time over furiously tabbing through each setting. Generally speaking, if an action requires more than 4 continuous tabs, it's easier and more accurate to use the mouse.
One huge exception for me is entering data in spreadsheets. Once I locate my initial cell with mouse (and yes I know of the End-Arrow sequence), I generally don't use the mouse until I finish the stack of data-entry paperwork.
At this point, unless his affidavit leads to compelling and PUBLIC evidence, it doesn't matter whether it was a deathbed joke or and earnest confession. It will come to nothing more than a Discovery Channel episode.
To me, a layman, it does seam like basic tools have most of their "methods" and "apparatus" patented, so that startups have no hope of making anything more complex than a wheelbarrow without stepping at least one patent or another. Maybe it would be a good idea to farm recently outdated patents for business ideas. Anything made to those patents' specifications should be immune to newer patents, and a good way to invalidate copycat patents.
The bills will make their own reputation, regardless of what they are called. Having propaganda titles is much worse and much more misleading than having the introducer's name in the title.
engine reached mach 10, and climbed to an altitude of 330 miles before the apparatus re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.
Does it bother anyone else that they're using the speed of sound IN THE ATMOSPHERE to measure a speed of a vehicle NOT IN THE ATMOSPHERE? Or is the summary just misleading?
How do they know when that weapon was fired? The methods of storing weapons from that time included wrapping them in oil cloth, and could preserve the things for a good long time before they had to be used. Just because it was manufactured in the 1800's doesn't mean it was fired then.
What makes you assume that children have a monopoly on dropping phones, squeezing by tight spaces (warehouse in my case), and friend's hazings? Not to mention bumpy four-wheelers, bouncing horses, oopses while repelling, crowds that jostle, and yes, kids that swipe the phone to see how cool it is?

Why are we trying to prove that piracy, an illegal act, is somehow "good"?
Because society has an evolving morality. For me, The Law is supposed to reflect The Poeple's way of life, mixed with limits on actions that cause immediate danger and/or harm to The People. When American society grew to the point where Women would be accepted as voters, that previously ILLEGAL action was repealed. And that's how it should be.

You can't seriously be fantasizing that the insurgency in Iraq would be able to defend any one province to insure the "security of a free state"?
