There was one. I didn't work. FYI the American civil war in the south was called there second war of independence.
I have to agree with that. I just cannot see the people getting disgruntled enough to resort to revolting. Mass protesting is probably the furthest anything would go.FalloutJack said:What he said. However...I don't think another revolutionary war is realistic. Sorry, as cynical as I am, that one don't fly.Revnak said:It would end very horrifically.

I'm thinking the latter. What with launching nukes from their flying aircraft carriers and such.TheDrunkNinja said:Revolution? Against who? Who are we rebelling against? Our own government? The military? The shadowy council of people who run the world from the Avengers movie?

America's largest exports include food. I sincerely doubt that food would be an issue. As for oil, there are strategic military reserve fields in texas that haven't been tapped yet. So I don't think either of those would work. Also the US has more super carriers than any other nation in the world. It would take a whole SHIT ton of ships to effectively blockade the states.Tayh said:Two words:Wolverine18 said:So that leaves... no one that could even come close to challenging the US miltary.
Trade blockade.
An army can't run on a hungry stomach or without oil.
Nominally, yes. In the event of a revolution, doubtful.Harkonnen64 said:Actually, the CIA doesn't operate against Americans on American soil. Home-grown terrorism would fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI or Homeland Security and the "battling" would be executed by the national guard or military.BBboy20 said:If it were to occur, the CIA would be doing half the battling.
Realy? Since when?hulksmashley said:The problem with your theory is that the American military wouldn't be willing to attack citizens.
