Largest Army in the World.....non Valk

[DIGGER]

Found this on Facebook....

Here's an interesting fact
After the Japanese decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941, they could have sent their troop ships and carriers directly to California to finish what they started. The prediction from our Chief of Staff was we would not be able to stop a massive invasion until they reached the Mississippi River. Remember, we had a 2 million man army and war ships in other localities, so why did they not invade?

After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked that question. Their answer....they know that almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them.

1. The world's largest army ... America 's hunters! I had never thought about this....

2. A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

3. There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .

4. Allow me to restate that number.

5. Over the last several months, Wisconsin ’s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.

6. More men under arms than in Iran .

7. More than in France and Germany combined.

8. These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.

9. That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters,

10. All of whom have now returned home.

11. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that

12. The hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. The number of Hunters in the state of Texas would be the largest standing army in the world by it's self.

13. The point?

14. America
15. Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.

16. That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

17. Food for thought when next we consider gun control.

I’ve heard that story about why Japan decided against a land invasion. The details as I heard it were slightly different but the point is the same. An armed population is a free population. There is a majority of homeowners in my neighborhood that 100% would be standing together to protect our neighborhood

The point is well taken.  I do my part.  

Except, after freezing my ass off in deep freeze MI Winter, and then working my ass off dragging a big buck out of the woods, I decided I didn't like deer hunting.   

I'm not sure the Japanese actually wanted to take and occupy the US (huge job), they just wanted us out of their hemisphere, militarily and politically.  And until Midway, they succeeded.

And then, in a huge piece of historic karma, having bombed us in Pearl Harbor (complete surprise attack), we got to test out out our new nuclear weapons and bomb them back (not a surprise attack; during a declared war).

I can honestly state that every neighbor and person I know in my area have firearms in the homes and most carry when out and about.   But this is in close proximity to Memphis, TN.   The (per capita) murder capital of the US.

Impossible to count unregistered weapons.  My guess there is only six

And, I’m convinced that’s why our enemies are playing the long game. Infiltrate all our institutions, education, healthcare, farming, transportation, local state and federal government positions. That’s when things start to fall apart .  So far it seems to be working, but still a ways to go yet.
