Don , there are about one million total people in the U.S. military.  "Most" 
do not keep a weapon as part of their military duty.  

There are conservatively estimated (FBI) a quarter of a 'billion' firearms 
owned by private citizens in thios country.  This country can not impose 
force, using soldiers and military armaments, not with such an armed 
population.  

One thing is a lot of the people in the military would join their brothers 
and fathers, and neighbores.  And, more importantly they would be out 
numbered and out-gunned.  Look at the problems our military has in Iraq.  
Hell, there are more guns in NC , where you are visiting, than in all of  
Iraq. 

Yes, they could use nukes.  What would that accomplish?  otherwise, an armed 
population is a protector of freedom.....bobford
