Reply #79: my response was similar - I can't see it happening. Evey rural road,

every surburban cul de sac, every urban block being regular patrolled - I just can't fathom that there is enough manpower, even using private military contractors, to do the job. And yet, the idea (intentionally getting as much of the military as possible out of the country to preven the military from stemming such an action) is an intellectually intersting idea - in the sense that I never would have even as an intellectual 'game' entertained this idea until very recently - when the unthinkable (an administration actively working outside of the Constitution and thumbing its nose at congress as if saying - while we won't disband you as if we were a third world country... we will operationally do the same thing by making you and your actions totally irrelevant...) has become the real.

That said - I don't think that logistically it is possible to put the entire country under martial law.
