What scares me more, is if it does come to that....what is to stop another country from pouncing on that as an advantage to invade and take over a large portion of this country?
United we stand, divided we fall.
As an Ex Soldier I swore an oath to my country.
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
I am and will always be that soldier.
Quoting: FatalW1shes When civil wars happen, it's inevitable that other countries will get involved. First advisers, allocating funds, helping with the transport of supplies for either side, to profiteer or to genuinely support one side, etc.
Then maybe their troops get injured. Their transports become legitimate targets because one side of another becomes the injured party. They blockade, things ramp up, and then they're sending in troops.
Occupying forces take a long time to leave, if ever.
It doesn't have to be an invasion to have foreign troops here.
One side might not have troops, but maybe they use mercs. Now you have professionals fighting for pay, not honor, not patriotism. It's a job. How much discretion will those mercs have? How much restraint if any?
