if the US declared martial law its realistic to think that the American public would just bow down and take it.

fixed for truthiness

i don't know man, i don't believe that. we've never faced a situation where someone was banging down your door saying you have to leave. nor has there been a country like ours in a situation like that, so we really have no historical basis. i know its a far fetched belief, but i believe that in a time of absolute crisis, none of which we have ever seen before save the early times of the US, people would defend themselves violently. we grossly outnumber any sort of military presence, and the second gunfire erupted, there would be an all out war of government vs. the people, and i strongly believe the government would lose horribly. Americans may be dumbasses, but we are different from anyone else in that regard. i just can't believe that any person living in America would just allow themselves to be policed in that manner. i know that a police state is pretty much what we live in, but its not violently forceful in the sense of martial law.
