What was that someone said about a major indicator earlier.

Why do they need it? Now there's all that stuff online about FEMA Corps. I've seen photos of young hispanics in uniforms wielding MP-5's

A stand-up fight between the Military (not the DoD) and whatever "Civilian equivalent" would be short, brutal and significantly one sided.

Hoard as much ammo as you want FEMA an Abrams is a beast you haven't remotely considered yet. A Ranger Rifle Squad would plain put a hurting (just factoring for violence of action) on them. Much less Specter.:evil:
