re: This is a very potent argument against the "2nd amendment means militia" talking point

The Russians learned why you don’t use gas in defense of your homeland.
I'm not even talking about poison gas, or explosive gas or even nerve agents. There is one thing that animals need to live and engines needs to run. There are ways to take that away from a stalled force, and it's readily available in this country and easy to get more. It's used everyday everywhere.
People tend to think in terms of shooting and blasting and things like that, but it's really not even necessary. There are more efficient things that are easier to control, if you were in that situation.

While I’ve enjoyed the back and forth with someone who has a different opinion, we’ll have to disagree that 2021 America could be successfully defended against a peer threat without having a standing army and using only militias and improvised delaying tactics.
The reality is that a professional military would absolutely demolish a militia defending the US. You need a professional military for airpower, artillery, heavy mechanized, AOR C2. We’ve focused on light infantry in this thread, because that’s what militia offers, but the opposing force of a peer contains tech and capabilities that militia could not handle.
The second your civilian heavy equipment operators started obstructing routes by pushing dirt on highways they’d get demolished by aircraft. Dozers and front-end loaders aren’t exactly nimble.
