    People who drop these kinds of memes still think warfare is carried out and progresses like it did in the Napoleonic era: two orderly opposed fronts clashing head-to-head in theaters with well-defined boundaries - where the adversary with more guns/people/resources win. Because more guns/people directly equates to military power, right?

    These folks would do well to spend even the slightest amount of time learning about fourth generational, guerilla war.

    Let’s take this meme back a couple hundred years and cast OP as a counter revolutonary American at the onset of the revolutonary war.

    /*Wants to have muskets to fend off british empire

    /*british empire:

    Starts to seem silly when you realize even our founding fathers were doing guerilla warfare not long ago.
