We doan need no chit kiker songs at full bore. We have double barrle scatter guns that shoot a half a clip of sten gun from each barrel every time we pull the trigger. inside 75 yards they are like little claymores. and my old 30-06 can take a man out at 700 yards, long before he can get close with a little pissant 223. Now in Texas you have two distances. Very open and long range (30-06 country) and Brushy/hilly. (Scatter gun country).
anything in between we have scads of working cobra's and we can take more off poles and make'em operational if we need to. Over head cover is squadrons of F-16s and F 22s from our local factory.
I figure Ft Hood will divide up about even between Texas and the USA,since a lot are married to Texas women, so we'll have at least 2 armored divisions.
The Republic as a world power is a viable option.
