We are talking Americans here
Americans are fat and lazy. Too content with their standard of living to rise in revolt.
If they did, they would be no match to a modern army. Fat, out-of shape rednecks against the most advanced Army in history
At one level, I would concede that you have a point. At the other end of the spectrum, Hollywood is portraying our U.S. military as a bunch of bearded drunks that are taking drugs, breaking the law, and fraternizing for the purposes of sex (see tv shows like Valor, The Brave and SEAL Team for examples.) I wonder how much of that stereotype is equally accurate as your stereotype.
I hope and pray that some Americans will wake up and see the effects that fast food, opioids, and wasting time on computers is doing to them. The terrorists we face are not like your average American which is why we cannot win over them. IF the American people took up the same lifestyle, it wouldn't take many to be a force against the tyranny of an all too powerful government.
Terrorists are an annoyance
They are no threat to our democracy
You should try telling the victims of terrorism that they are no threat. I don't recognize a democracy. I was guaranteed a Republican form of Government (Article 4 Sec. 4 of the Constitution.)
Terrorists will always be among us
But how much damage do they actually inflict on our society?
Less than 100 deaths last year from terror attacks. We have over 8000 murders a year. Gang violence is a bigger threat than terrorism
Just because the media and the FBI are telling you that the Las Vegas shooter was not a terrorist does not mean they got it right. They don't know what caused him to do the deed.
He wasn't a terrorist
