    Bring it. These morons in mismatched and non-fitting tactical gear totally have a chance against some dude flying a drone from under a mountain in Colorado. Herman Cain or Darwin award, I don’t care which.

    ETA: I goofed and somehow missed the term “national guard”. Don’t comment when in meetings.

      The national guard are actual military members not the gravy seals.

          Or Yemen. Which was a tactic roman emperors used to keep dangerous armies out of rebellion range.

      I see comments like this a lot in discussions online. How many drones do you think they have? Do you think one drone operator can fly around taking out every one of thousands of people?

      It’s like people think that drones equal omnipotence. The real air power is actual planes like the F/A-18 and A-10 that can demolish the shit out of any ground target. Drones are small and used for limited targets, and attack planes can do a lot more, and the US gov’t has all of them.

        It’s meant to be slightly facetious to point out the ridiculousness of applying 18th century thinking towards 21st century technology.
