re: What are the chances you see martial law in your lifetime?

yes i know most are support personnel. Im just saying it would only take a very small amount of military to aid the fed agencies in stomping out a uprising if a president chose that route. Its not going to happen either way but i don't see it taking much air power to shut down a uprising. even if they aren't using bombs, the intel collected from the sky would be enough to come up with strategies to squash the uprising. It would probably be a bit painful for the feds but in the end they would win out. I think enough of the population is content with the path we are on.
