Kewan Platt, former student at Fitchburg, apologizes for the cheapshot he committed, which resulted in his being barred from campus, suspended indefinitely, and had his Player of the Month award vacated.
Not good enough. He claims he "lost control." No, he didn't. He made sure the official wasn't looking before he committed this assault. Therefore this was a calculated move. Therefore he was very much in control.
Congressman promises to nuke his constituents if they don't kow-tow. I'm pretty sure that would be considered a war crime, and I'm also sure he pitches a fit when Assad uses chemical weapons.
Someone should point the deluded fool to Col. Schlichter's analysis.
But the military is so big it would overwhelm any rebels, right? Well, how big do you think the military is? And, more importantly, how many actual boots on the ground can it deploy? Let’s put it in terms of brigade combat teams, which total about 4,500 troops each. There are about 60 brigades in the Army, active and reserve, here and abroad, and let’s give the Marines another 10 brigades, for about 70 brigades. Sounds impressive. But that’s deceptive.
...
Now, how many of the troops in a brigade are actually even front line combat troops? About a third – the rest are support. So a brigade is really about 1500 riflemen tops before you count losses. Cut those in half for sleep, training, and refitting at any one time (which is very generous) and your brigade is really 750 troops on your best day with everyone showing up. Realistically, it’s 300.
That holds one mid-sized town. And there are hundreds of mid-sized towns. Plus there are millions of Normal Americans who would fight back. Nothing would move without their permission – a few guys shooting up big rigs along the interstate would shut down the entire trucking industry. Bottom line: there simply are not enough military forces to clear and hold red America.
A good review and commentary of the low carb study Amy mentioned the other day -
Do low carb diets increase energy expenditure? Study review
"In conclusion, I’d say the general take-home message of this study is that obese individuals, especially ones on the verge of type II diabetes, don’t fare well on highly glycemic diets (read: starches and other processed carbs). Not because of major metabolic differences, but because they’ll likely be hungrier (more ghrelin, less leptin) and they anecdotally don’t feel as energetic, which may unintentionally suppress their physical activity level. The inherent metabolic differences as a result of higher vs. lower carb intakes shouldn’t amount to large differences in energy expenditure in lean, muscular strength trainees with good carb tolerance, so if you strongly prefer high carb diets, this study is probably not a reason to change your diet."
And Schlichter didn't even include those in the military that would defect or refuse to enforce clearly illegal and unconstitutional orders. And then you add on that the military needs goods produced by civilians to keep operating. No food, no fuel, no bullets, and that war machine grinds to a halt very quickly.
Despite what Swalwell dreams the US military cannot take over the US and yes all those people with guns are standing in their way.

My bad, he did include honorable dissertation in the part IRA trimmed off.
