It is said that the Japanese could have invaded the US West Coast after Pearl Harbor but their planners never even considered it. Why? The US Military could not have stopped them at that time.

They would have been outnumbered by an armed and hostile populace.

If the U.S. Government turned on its citizens like the Syrian government is doing, how many people do you think would die?

What if the citizens had access to the same hardware as the military?

"There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

Often attributed to Yamamoto, but it is unsubstantiated. However, it is very poetic and descriptive.

It is one of the sentiments against invading Switzerland in the 1940s - as they were and remain a nation of riflemen.
