I'll fight it out here in my ranch house in Fishers if the tanks come.

Actually the best tactic would be to blend into the civilian population and attack them from behind the "lines". Assaulting an armored division with small arms is suicide.

Agreed. Unless you have enough explosive to hit their tracks with, and can get in behind them, you're FUBAR.

Honestly, I'd rather be unseen, unheard, but felt with Force. With my current set up, I could more than likely do that... save for a Ghillie suit... which aren't hard (nor expensive) to make up. I'd need a spotter to run with, but have yet to find someone.

Yes, the screen name has double meanings..

If you really want to piss em off, lay "mines" in the road, make half of em real (or even light pop!), the other half fake. Takes em about an hour per mine, if I remember what my EOD friend in Iraq was saying (he hates his job, keeps writing me that he didnt want this crap when he signed up after high school).

I don't want to piss them off... I want them dead. The only reason I'd lay out mines... Is to make them get out to make them soft targets. Then, once all "soft targets" eliminated... boo-yah!! you has a tank... their armaments, AND communications!!

AFVs are less than optimal in urban environs.

As the USMC says "hunting tanks is fun and easy". Several resources available, but hitting the soft support vehicles (repair, carriers, fuel supply, etc.) is a far better tactic than hitting a moving column or AFVs in laager.

The notion that we will see AFVs on Indiana soil is a tiny possibility to say the least. Although I could forsee a scenario wherein President Obama requests UN aid to help enforce the Treaty on Small Arms which a Democratic Senate approves.

That would certainly be a significantly sucky situation.

I'd like to believe that the majority of those who are in our military and hopefully the Federal gov't civilian army (all of the armed Federal agents) would be as outraged by such heinous crimes as we would.

As would I, but a lot of their political actions don't make sense to me..

Nor do some of their actions (I'm referring to civilian Federal special agents here).

I would not count on it. It was Delta Force that was pulling triggers on the people running out of the burning Mount Carmel in Waco, Texas.
