Quote from Mav88:
right, shooting war is out of the question really.
The conveyor belt of stupidity in here is amazing. Hoodoo and RCG think that such a hypothetical war would be just like 1862. For some reason only known to the logic of their 2 neurons, southerners in the current US military would not act like they did in 1862 but the military itself would function just like it did then.
One look at how a modern military works, where all the military assets are currently located, how logistics works, and the conclusion is clear. Old confederacy + some western red states = quick military loss for blue states assuming no nukes. With nukes it is even quicker if one assumes that western red states would join in succession which I assume they would. To think like the simpletons in here, you have to assume that a succeeding state like Georgia would sit back and allow units like the 3rd division to form up and attack them AND all southerners in the 3rd division would do so. On the contrary, the 3rd division would be likely to join the south as would all the units in texas. There are no armored or airborn units in the northeast and most airbases are in the south, red western, or border states, it isn't 1862.
The war will be political, more like quebec-canada, and this time the blues won't fight.
