    Oh you mean the 42 town-sized forward operating bases inside the treasonous province? They will come in very handy in the 72 hours it takes to resecure that territory.

      I always wondered how quick that would go down.

      72 hours seems quick, but I guess they wouldn’t really encounter actual resistance.

      Do people really think that the servicemen in the military would willingly attack Texans? I have a huge suspicion that they’d revolt within the armed forces.

        As someone currently serving active duty, yes - depending on the command climate and the servicemember. Especially if the targets are labeled as insurgents and a VEO threat with credible evidence. Now, bombing noncombatant civilians is a different story, but as far as conducting surgical strikes on domestic terrorists, no hesitation.
