They'll see you are well-equipped and just surround you and wait you out. Probably set a grass fire and burn you out or just overwhelm you with sheer numbers and superior firepower. That's how we did it to the American Indian when we zombie-apocalypsed them.

One theory: US Government fails to find more foreign lenders to finance it's increasing debt burden, so can no longer fund the government. Everything, including entitlement programs, shut down. When welfare checks stop coming out, the recipients riot, causing general mayhem.

Another theory: California leads the rest of the US on debt, and goes bankrupt as a state. Poor folk across the state riot in mobs, killing for food out of sheer desperation. The rest of the country is deeply divided between bailing out California and selling the state to the Chinese, inciting riots and violent protests elsewhere.

A third: Gun-control activists pass legislation which allows the government to legally confiscate all guns (or all semi-autos, or whatever). Violent pockets of Second Amendment activists take a desperate last stand against the government troops. The country descends into civil war.

... I'd be curious for the best theories from this crowd. I'm sure we've got the creativity to come up with something more realistic!

The third, based on what I see in PARF, could possibly be started, but would end quickly, and badly, for the insurrectionists; there is no chance whatsoever the country would descend into civil war.

The original post assumes some sort of direct military action like a battlefield. But history shows clearly that oppressed people do not fight that way. They fight as 'insurgents'. I think the American public would make a formidable enemy, especially when you consider that many in the military would not turn against the public.

While there is always respect for his role as Commander in Chief, you will be hard pressed to find a group that more strongly dislike Obama than our military. Obviously based on my experiences at various bases over the last few years, but I can't see many of them taking his side in a civil war.
