Love him or Hate him, but Joe Rogan has a really good take on what an actual civil (war) uprising may look like.

I'm one of those veterans and I'm ready to rock and roll if the balloon goes up.
I never served but I can drive tracks with my rifle. Send it?
Or maybe Tacks?
Lol yes! I'll not edit cause it's funny!
Are armed communist children still considered human during war? Asking for a friend.
If they're armed, they are potential enemies. And define "children." 5 to 8? 14 to 17?
30-45?
I don't know too much about behaviors and threat levels of child soldiers tbh. Didn't think about how low in age. Just figured if they can carry and aim.
A child soldier is still a soldier. I hate to say it, but if a child is using lethal force against me, I will respond in kind.
Toop!
What does the balloon metaphor mean (or is that a literal something)?
Back in the "old days," before radio comms, the U.S. Army and Navy used hot air balloons, some manned, others unmanned (kind of like a paper lantern) with a signals officer and a couple spotters/signalmen and signal flags attached to communicate between separated units. Faster and much safer than sending messengers across exposed fields or trenches.
The Navy used them to communicate with onshore Marine units and the Army when coming to shell a target. The balloons could be floated and seen over treetops and dunes, bldgs, etc. The Navy also used them to signal other ships and to coordinate ship movements from a bird's eyed view.
Was gonna say that. Good on ya!
Hence, "When the balloon goes up" - Shit's gonna hit the fan....
It's just an old saying that means when something kicks off.
If you have to askk, you haven't been paying attention.
There does need to be a plan. I hope ya’ll thought of that whilst target shooting at your gun range. It is not enough to just have guns.
Everyone should have a plan. And plans should never be discussed anywhere on the internet of what you would do in a SHTF moment.
