"You might be a force to be reckoned with, but there are a lot of forces to reckon with." Younger me needed to hear that. Hopefully it saves someone else some

  In life some people are a force to be reckoned with, others: a farce.

  It's a really nice and succinct quote, I should remember it. Makes me think of the second amendment and John's stance on that; a "well-armed militia" might be a force to be reckoned with, but if it comes to an actual confrontation they're just peasants with crossbows vs the US military. Not that I believe the US military would ever go up against their own people, mind you.

    Warfare (as someone who worked in the industry of war) has a lot more to do with things other than weapons.

    >if it comes to an actual confrontation they're just peasants with crossbows vs the US military History is littered with armies losing to peasants. The US military lost to a bunch of poor people in the jungle then lost to a bunch of poor people in the desert. US citizens, even just Texas, would most likely prevail easily over the US military especially as the soldiers would be wary of attacking their neighbors.
