[quote:Anonymous Coward 14974055:MV8xNzc1OTAyXzMwODAwNzMyX0NDM0ZGMDhD] IF the Government goes ahead against the people. I bet you'll see a lot of states refuse to commit troops and probably will exit the united states and go it alone or in small unions. It'll be game over just after for the Government. They'll just be another small faction in the game. [/quote]

I'm wondering what a modern day civil war in the US would look like?
How would it happen? What would happen? How would it effect the average citizen? Would we all be taking up guns and aiming them at family and friends with differing opinions?
Would the righty's kill the lefty's?
Instead of using guns would hackers attack the govn't websites, leak info and possibly hack other tactical targets such has power plants, water systems, rail.. etc.
Would some giant corporation step in and form it's own govn't?
Would there be martial law, and if so.. do you think some our own military soldiers would defect and defend whatever side they choose?
Would there be an Eeastern US and Western US or possibly even more... the Southern states, the NorthEastern States..etc.
I know it's pretty bleak but just something I've been thinking about for a while and I'm wondering what others are thinking?
Is a civil war even possible in the United States this day and age?
Thoughts? Opinions?
