    Apparently Joe overlooked the fact that the Taliban didn't need them to defeat the USSR and the US.

    Anyway, he was dismissing the need for anyone to own an AR15; just got carried away by the Narrative.


    Any time you begin to believe that true democracy is a viable method to run a nation, consider that half of the voters are mentally below average, and they elect their peers.

    This is a retread from several years ago.

    Like his son dying in Iraq. :facepalm:

    He has a string you pull on him and he keeps repeating the same dozen or so phrases every time you let it go...

    Just remember Churchill though. Paraphrased. Democracy is just the least bad form of government people have tried.

    So is that a downgrade from F-15s? I thought he said we'd need those once. F-16s are great but F-15s are more hearty in payload and speed I thought, from that 'era'.

    Anyway isn't the tree of liberty watered by the blood of tyrants?? The quote said patriots.

    So, just spit-balling here, but there are plenty of F-16s and other aircraft right here in the Continental United States.

    I'm pretty sure that a warring US populace could get their hands on all of the weaponry they need, and I bet there are at least a couple of retired fighter pilots, or otherwise capable civilian pilots, who'd be more than willing to jump in the cockpit of a captured F-16 to fight for the good of the cause.

    Historically speaking, even the relatively untrained and motivated only really need to figure out how to get gear up and air born, landing is optional for the truly determined and motivated - just saying.

    Ground support, air combat control, and secured airfields to operate from would likely be the larger challenge. If you have a Hadji twin towers plan, then you can ignore all of that.

    I think I'd rather have a couple of c130s but I'm not even rated to fly a single engine legally so it's a wish or I'd need to politely ask a knowledgeable pilot to fly them. The ability to move men and material and land/take off from less than perfect runways seems more valuable to me in the mid and long term.

    Edited to remove my dunce fuel related comments since 135sohc was kind enough to smarten me up!

    I would imagine that the next future rebellion against an overly authoritative Federal government would be everyone taking potshots at anyone who was representative of such... or supported such. Including state government officials... once that line was crossed, and materialized.

    This is why the liberal left is so focused on castrating the meaning of the 2nd Amendment from our Constitution.

    It's funny how the COTUS was drafted to limit power, but it's being viewed as how to extend power, by the overzealous political champions of late, who wish to destroy this country.

    I also believe that the media will be targeted and silenced, at least temporarily. They've done nothing to recent date but misreport, embellish and misconstrue actual news events and facts.

    People are fed up.

    This revolt won't be centralized either. It'll be decentralized across the United States. People will hear what is going on and it will eventually pick up steam, because of more folks becoming desperate and can't make ends meet. Thankfully we're not at that point. Yet.

Then there is the fuel issue; easier to find compatible fuel in less secured locations for a turboprop than a jet.
    Turboprop engines use jet fuel also.
