I think the CinC that tries giving that order will have a very short career.....
But, a longer neck.....
I'm no military strategist, but I strongly suspect that if private citizens have to go up against the US army, they're going to have rather a rough go of it. You know, those tanks and, whaddyacallem - bombers.

Nah, not really. Those bombs aren't as smart as we tell people they are...and th breadth and topography of the US is -exactly- the sort of shit that the majority of the army isn't trained for....even if those of us that were explicitly trained for that eventuality are now "bury my guns and wait" civilian types...... Tanks aren't even an issue, they're a liability, it's the goddamned APCs. If I had my choice I'd take on an abrams every day, but I never want to see a brad or a lav roll up on me.
We're ungovernable except by consent, to our pride and shame in equal measure. My property is the kind of terrain that any co just drives past and puts out of his mind. You;d have to order someone under threat to assault it, or me...and it wouldn't be worth it if you did.
