Even beyond the lives lost on the side of the anti-US fighters in those places, who wants to bet on if the US would give up and walk away and just let any random local armed community in its own territory ignore it?

Will you see eventual retreat, or will you see eventual overwhelming force? The US didn't want to bulldoze these other countries and jail or kill everyone and set up a new state; very different than how the US would handle more Wacos.



Waco wasn’t a problem due to any separatism or resistance to law enforcement.

It’s because they were raising children to rape them.

So tired of this equivocating on what those people were about.
