To be clear: I'm old, a Vietnam vet, USN airdale, helos, combat search and rescue for SOG. I've kept myself in reasonable shape - won't be humping a hundred pounds all day, though - but I can still shoot a thousand yards and have the stuff to do it. I have many vet friends, high percentage of Jarheads, who were my Brothers in the Nam. Many are younger by far, sandbox types, and they're all - that's ALL - ready for TSHTF. Many throughout the US have formed groups that are highly skilled and mostly good marksmen. Any country thinks they will invade is in for some very enlightening times. I might also state that even those vets of liberal bent (very few) are ready to defend, as always. Whether 'The Plan' is or is not is almost immaterial for most of us: if we see this crap getting to the point of commie -ism, what you will see and what 'they' will see will be very harsh. In military, the collateral damage will be high. Very high.
