Finally someone else who realizes telling the military to carpet bomb cities has never worked against an insurgency except maybe in Chechnya, but it's hard to call that an ideal win.
Do you really see the majority of Texans who want secession digging out trenches and caves and living in them, and providing all of their own food and supplies, though? The people of Afghanistan and Vietnam did not live comfortably in their homes with all the amenities while they were fighting their guerilla wars.
I don't think Texans have anywhere near the same mental fortitude as those people. I see them giving up very quickly after living with no power in a cave somewhere.
Neither of us know what other people can or would do.
I know the kind of conditions that the people of Vietnam and Afghanistan were raised and survived in were many many times harder than the conditions that Texans have lived in their whole lives. You should too if you have paid attention to your education on world history.
Really not that hard to understand that people who grew up in third world countries are tougher than people that grew up in first world countries.
I don't know that adversity makes people stronger. I know strong people who haven't faced adversity, I've faced a little bit but remained weak. It's a common mentality, but I just don't have any reason to believe its true.
We can have a pretty damn good clue based on how they live and behave day-to-day.
