Not exactly. The whole logistic problem the British had would not be the case in this, and the military is much better armed compared to the populace than the british where to the Americans.
Actually I've addressed that. If it ever actually got so bad that armed rebellion was our only recourse to preserve liberty, I'd be surprised if much less than half of the military didn't refuse the orders or actively side with the rebels.
Admittedly, I base this on knowing lots of current and former servicemen, rather than some sourceable study sponsored by Harvard. :mrgreen:
