Our recent misadventures in the middle east strongly suggest that, yes, it can.
A more stinging criticism in this regard is that even if we could, we probably wouldn't. The crushing majority of gun owners are going to go along with their governments, not fight against them. We can sit here and imagine what our country would do and how we would respond..but if the us declared itself an ethnostate, for example...a statistically significant portion of gun owners would be popping off rounds in celebration rather than defiance, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
