    Short answer: good luck with that. Deployable up to 100K. Total population you’re trying to control is 15 million. So 1 per 150 citizens.

    Except it obviously would quickly need to include the Bay Area, St Louis, Indianapolis, Portland, Seattle etc

      They want to provoke a violent response to scare the shitlibs into supporting martial law and a Reichstag Fire type event.

      The 100k combat troops don’t mean anything compared to a million cops and the reality that only a very, very small percentage of Americans are organized enough to actually put up resistance.
