The same military that got run out of Afghanistan and Vietnam?
Sure, that might have been due to “public pressure” or “politics” but I think bombing Chicago or rolling tanks down the highway in Dallas will be pretty unpopular, politically.
Add to that the fact that there are a lot of very talented people who would suddenly have a very direct and morally unambiguous target. Did the FBI ever catch the dumb asshole who shot up the substation in NC a year or so back?
It wouldn’t be a decisive win for either side. And who knows how many people in the military would defect, quit, or refuse to fight.
