His response:<br /><br />"When the Germans get out of their new Panzers to take a piss, my men will shoot them with their old rifles."<br /><br />This illustrates a very simple and ancient principle: don't fight your enemy where he is strong. It is as simple as that. If some interested people do what MV's folks in the story about taking on an army with a single-shot .45 were advised to do: use that simple weapon to get a rifle, some ammo and maybe a grenade or 2. Use those to get several rifles, more ammo and more grenades, and maybe a SAW. Use those to ambush a small convoy and get more interesting stuff including probably a crew-served machine gun or two and some shoulder-fired AA missiles. Not bad when starting with only a single-shot .45.<br /><br />Even if only 1% of the population really resists, such numbers (upwards of 800,000 people) will be far more than the current force on all levels can handle. And as others have noted, if resistance includes going after those who give the orders, the conflict will be over sooner rather than later. It is for this reason that nothing overt has ever been tried before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-7077723669059269312010-12-28T10:34:04.944-06:002010-12-28T10:34:04.944-06:00I'm tired.....
