think about it

In WWI there were 100,000 americans killed. WWII there were 200,000 americans killed. During the civil war 600,000 americans were killed.

Civil insurrection is much more dangerous to our country than foreign terrorism.

This country needs to simmer down.

All three wars involved heavy and automated weapons. The various groups in conflict with each other do not have access to bombs, planes and such.

An Aryian nation, cop, minority war would not be good but would not result in even higher casualties.
