Too bad for them Canada has tougher gun laws than ours, they'll be on their own.
They have a stupid little mini van named after their state and the ironic thing is that a mini van is not a vehicle anybody that lives there would drive! 4 wheel drive is NOT an "option" up there!

A volunteer military that does exactly what it's told...and collects its pay from the Feds.

Bought and paid for.

No, sheep do exactly what they are told. I think you will be surprised at how many people do the right thing when ordered to do the wrong one to their own country. Not everyone is a mindless whelp.

Like Ehren Watada? Being called a traitor for his trouble? I think you'd be surprised at how many servicemen simply follow orders. That's what the military wants...not people who think for themselves.

We also lost Vietnam, and what sort of tactics and equipment did the Vietnamese communists use? The federal military truly is not as powerful as many want to think it is...

Montana could secede, close the boarder and it would be 9-12 months before anyone even noticed. Longer still before anyone cared.

You underestimate how much wheat is grown in MT. And the oil and other mineral resources.

Would anyone notice if DC were suddenly gone?
