Will military be on our side during shtf?

I am not mad, bro, but you are welcome to call me. I am not insulted by your remarks but the casual dismissal of support troops is troublesome.

Only some troops. I may have been a bit to general, however you have to admit there are lots of lazy troops that will not defend our constitution.

Why? I am just asking a question.

I read it as an insult. ......

The bullet cannot be discharged if a supply sergeant does not issue it and a starved soldier cannot fight. Those support soldiers are the backbone.

Gotta chime in, sorry to butt into the fray but joking aside if someone has never spilled the same blood in the same mud they don't understand or have any idea. Letters and care packages from home, replacement gear, hot chow after 2 weeks of Meals Refused by Ethiopians (MREs), heck discharge packet and DD214 filed on time. This is all because of people who support. They aren't lazy, and again... If you didn't serve, you have no idea.

brother that was a blanket comment, not intended specifically at you. Far too often amid the urine competition we lose sight, or people who truly do not get it weight in like atheist at a tent revival.

Dave I know you're in this thread, it wasn't directed at you. I hate seeing people view our riflemen as some sort of underlings who can't think for themselves and are essentially robots with kevlar helmets. Plenty of the kids in the infantry I know had scholarships to accredited universities and chose to go to Afghanistan instead.

People like to think because they have an AR-15 and some ammo makes them " combat effective". There's a good page in a book called "Sniper on the Eastern Front" in which the author talks about what makes a person combat effective: " The ability to remain calm, sharp, and adverse under combat conditions, when bullets are raining all around you and boys are screaming for their mothers, is what enables men to win wars. Sharpshooting, field craft and other skill sets are an excellent ally to have, but it is essentially the ability to think under the most unthinkable conditions that will give you a chance to survive".

That was written in regards to combat in 1944-1945 on the Eastern Front in regards to trained Whermacht soldiers in the face of the Soviet Army.

How well do you think an overweight, untrained, spoiled to air conditioning, hourly worker with an Ar-15 is going to perform against the deadliest military force the world has ever known? People need to stop living in a fantasy world.

That was a good book. Of course they can think for themselves. It's just all a matter of how bad the situation they are put in. Lord knows Clayton county would be a mess during civil unrest and it would be a very difficult situation.
