Please explain how 'Afghanistan, Vietnam and Iraq are limited wars', especially how the Vietnamese conflict was? Do you mean because they didn't use nukes or something, the US fought for 10 years in south-east Asia and lost 35,000 people, how is that a limited war? Are the US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan not using every available resource(bar nukes) at their disposal? I'm not a military expert so maybe you can elaborate on what a 'limited war' actually is.edit on 2-7-2011 by seabhac-rua because: (no reason given)

It would be a massacre, the military has all the technology. What are guns going to do against spy satellites, tanks, missiles, bio weapons and god knows what else they have. And that's not even counting if they decided to unleash the products of the black op programs that trillions of dollars and decades of research has produced. If it ever comes to the American people mounting a revolution, we would be obliterated.

We have many Territories who would rather come in and shoot Americans....than lose their free welfare.
Obama also could call on the Thai Military, South Korea, Japan....they'd all LOVE to come in and get to shoot and kill Americans.
We could never end the 4th Reich. The ONLY way the 4th Reich will be ended is if Russia and China and the rest of the world start lobbing nuclear weapons.
Militia's couldn't do squat on US soil.......then again the Mexican Drug Cartels with a foreign countries support could seize control of the US.....they have Mexican Military Ordinance, machine guns, C-4, rocket propelled grenades, surface to air missiles, helicopters, jets, tanks....we don't have that.

And that my friend is what Privitized Military Contractors are for. America, has the biggest number of PMC organizations. Hence, the use of Xe (Blackwater) PMCs during the Hurricane Katrina crisis. For they don't answer to the constitution or the human rights, the answer to the Paycheque and the Contract at hand.
