President Donald Trump said he told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the military should use “dangerous” U.S. cities as “training grounds”.

Trump was speaking to top American military leaders who had gathered for a rare meeting at Quantico, Virginia.

    Having experienced war first hand I have to say you really, really don’t want guerilla warfare in your streets. So much fucking collateral damage. All these idiots at the top are chickenhawks with zero military experience which is why they think any of this is a good idea.

      The trick is that urbanized guerilla warfare rarely works for long without a heavily sympathetic populace who are largely willing to shield you. I don’t think the US has that, not in numbers enough to matter.

        Not now, that’s for sure. If you take away Americans social media and easy access to food. Then that’s a different question. Looks like it’s heading that way honestly
