There is no way without at least partial assistance from major US military units or all out foreign assistance a revolution against the US military would last. I personally view the national guard with contempt the majority of the time due to their piss poor training when compared to the rest of the Army and Marines and I would still put faith in them to put down a 2nd American revolution by themselves if their opposition had no military support or leadership.
Let's use this board as a small example for instance: out of all the wanna be secessionists and vote from the rooftop guys that post on here and can be assumed to share similar view to others across the nation, how many of you have substantial military experience? 25%? That's with high estimates and I'm willing to wager that out of all of the vets on this board no one has led a unit larger than 30-40 men. That's being generous assuming some of the secessionists posters are just quite about their military service. I would trust a platoon of Iowa guardsmen equipped with antiquated weapons vs a company of the typical DFWMustangs secessionists with every modern weapon possible.
It takes more than desire to win a war, especially if the enemy is sufficiently motivated, such as preserving the union.
