[QUOTE="pwnt by pat, post: 2865307, member: 556604"] Those are completely different than a situation that what could arrise in the States. In the revolutionary war, you had a foreign army, completely unfamiliar with any of the land versus men who were born and raised on the land they were fighting on. Also, the British used traditional warfare tactics while the Americans used more guerilla methods. In Iraq, it's the same situation, except our military tactics are more "modernized" with bigger explosives. You're a force with ever dwindeling morale, not backed by your homeland at all, in fighting quarters that are easy for ambush, fighting guerilla forces that know the land much better than yourself. Recipe for disaster. You're right about the last part. It would take a prominate, accepted figure, declining economical conditions, and cleaver use of propaganda to cause anything like what happened elsewhere to happen here, actually inside the states. Look at World War 2, primary cause of economic depression led masses to follow a leader who promised a better life. [/QUOTE]
