Indeed. As 101st infantry alumni, I’m well aware. Having been on both sides, military combat arms and a civilian gun owner, I find the ‘defense against the government’ idea around the 2nd amendment to be laughable. If they thought you were an actual threat they’d drone strike you out of existence, and you’d be a bullet point on an after action report. They own us now and they know it, that’s why everything is going to shit, and it’s why we were warned about the rise of the IMC. If only my younger self had been educated about that, I may not have joined up. Hmmm maybe there’s a link there?!?! I wonder.
I think my old man had much the same, or at least somewhat similar thoughts, when he came home from Vietnam. He was a UH1 door-gunner/crew-chief with the 4th ID in the Central Highlands, survived being shot down, was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross, a purple heart, a fistful of air medals and came home with a giant chip on his shoulder.

No they pretty much just taught us how to kill shit. In all seriousness, do you honestly believe that’s the case? That the US federal government is deterred by an armed public? Because I don’t think they give a shit, at all.
