There wouldn't be another American revolution. There would only be a minor accident with a few casualties during a military training exercise.

You by any chance referring to the Confederate battle plans for Antietam.Tom Roberts said:If you really want an interesting look at a second civil war (and both world wars with an Americas Divided) check out Harry Turtledoves Opus, How Few Remain/The Great War/American Empire/Settling Accounts (11 Books in all). It's based on the simple idea of a confederate soldier pointing out to a confederate courier that he had dropped some cigars...
If you're a real history buff you'll know why that matters, and how much it could change.
Thats probably about the same or more than what the average insurgent has...Darren716 said:I'm going to go into the how the hell did this happen camp of this camp. Also if citizens went against the US military the rebels will get their asses handed to them since the most the average civilian can muster up in terms of fire power is a hunting rifle or shotgun which isn't going to do a whole lot against an army that is trained, has better weapons, and not to mention has complete air superiority over their enemy.
Well that seems even less likely. Americans turning radical is a lot more believable than the US dropping onto the "completely bankrupt" list.Tony said:Another American Revolution would not happen. The chances of one happening are amazingly tiny. I do believe that America is going to eventually end up like Greece.
Ummm, wonder why Egypt rebelled?Mygaffer said:Wow, so you would welcome military rule over a democratically elected government of your own choosing? Like, oh, I don't know, what they have in Egypt?chadachada123 said:It would only work if the People had the support of the Armed Forces. Like what happened in Egypt. Get a few generals to side with the people (the people that they are sworn to protect) over the murderous dicks in power, and a revolution would definitely succeed.
As much as I would love to see a coup eliminate both Congress and the White House from power (or existence, preferably), I just don't see it happening any time soon. That ship has sailed, sadly.
Some people are just too stupid to live.
Too many variables. And losing the orders didn't do as much damage as it should have. Sure the invasion wasn't successful, but it's just as likely that it would have failed anyway. After all, Lee's Second Invasion failed and in that one the forces were almost equal, whereas in the first, McClellan outnumbered Lee almost 2:1.Tom Roberts said:If you're a real history buff you'll know why that matters, and how much it could change.
