The first "Army" we had was a militia.

@fannybandit If you go back to say the 1600's, then yes it was.

They utilized small unit, guerilla warfare tactics taught to them by native Americans.

That was the first American fighting force.

The US looks like its balkanizing already

@fannybandit The native americans were all dead by the time that the US revolution started, the natives played little part.

The US needs a solid revolution via a very quick civil war.

@Nicholas91 It isn't.

So tell me how this unfolds - the crisis you're in

@Deleted User I'm talking about the gap between colonization and the establishment of the British empire.

@Nicholas91 The separaist movements are memes, and there is nobody supporting them.

Im not talking about them

Im talking about an actual civil war

@fannybandit What kind of gap between the establishment?

Fuck yes.

No Rex, the time gap.

That's where you'll find the militia getting their first introduction into history.

@Nicholas91 Well the US fragments into many states, most of them anarchic and unable to hold control of their population.

@fannybandit The time gap? This isn't time travel.

This is basic history.

@Deleted User so no power struggle or anything

The time gap between first colonization and when the British empire was established.

@fannybandit One that you are clearly incapable of making a point out of.

There you will find the militia.

Established here in the US.

Should've clarified...

@Nicholas91 Oh it would be immense in the power struggle for territory and resources, but not in the sense of a factional one.

If a civil war broke out, it would be federal government vs everyone.

@fannybandit Still don't get it, just make a clear point for once in your life.

Who the fuck would side with the feds?

@Deleted User interesting

@fannybandit When has a civil war ever worked like that

Here's a point: A civil war, right now, would end the current establishment in no-time.

@Nicholas91 His ego is massive, his brain, not so much.

The current establishment seems highly factionalised as it is

@fannybandit No shit sherlock, we already agreed upon that.

When has there ever been a period in time where the military, militia, and people hated it's government?

That's my point.

@Nicholas91 The establishment would crumble in a civil war though.

@Deleted User why?

@Deleted User Im working on the basis that a civil war would see a divided establishment
