against the states and the "well regulated militia" I don't think the
fight would last long.


Yeah we wiped out those barefoot guys with small arms in Vietnam in a
few weeks. The ones in Afghanistan and Iraq were no problem either.

Tell me, just when did we actually defeat an insurgent uprising? 1865?
