A mountain nation where every man’s a rifleman has good defense and very little offense.

Dang… gotta pick me up one of them!

Didn’t Elisabeth Kübler-Ross describe those stages you went through, Scipio? Or was that something else? Anyway, yeah, I went through the same process.

Our modern military and our modern police are most probably our enemies. No police department should have a SWAT. No military unit should have a police role.

I was going to write one of my typical long-winded replies carefully picking out the fallacies, contextual ignorance, and other problems with this but then realized that it is so far from any intersection with human reality, so mind-blowingly stupid, that I would have to practically write an entire book to appropriately critique it.

And no, I do not think that a stronger military necessarily makes you safer.
