Sandbags

[FUBAR]

It won't be the US military to worry about, it will be the jack-booted ex-blackwater types. Or them now, whatever name they are operating under.
They have the skills, and the gall to do whatever is necessary to get what they want.

They organize and we will have problems.

The ready mix bags with a rebar through them is the quickest way to build a fort, or guard post.

Not a bad idea about the ready mix bags, but was really looking for actual bags that hold sand. Was planning a sandbag couch with a layer of memory foam on top.

USGI sand bags are the only way to go. You can get them from coleman's military surplus.http://www.colemans.com as well as other such stores. Type in sand bags on the search feature at coleman's and you're there. You're gonna need more than two bags deep. I know from experience no one uses only two bags deep no matter what the internet armchair commandos say.

Oh and BTW Greek, the U.S. military has no problem turning their weapons upon American Citizens. They've done it before and they'll do it again. They use multi-million dollar missiles shot from drones to kill one terrorist and they'll do the same here. The only saving grace is not all of our men in uniform will be against us.

Lemme guess, you're talking about the bonus army, right? ONE group of people all bunched up in ONE location, right? What would happen if say, oh, a thousand or so "bonus armies" rise up all across the country when TSHTF? Do you think the government can handle them ALL at the same time? I don't. Using examples like the bonus army or Randy Weaver or Waco to try to make me think that the government can take all of us out when TSHTF is weak. At best. Sure, the government can crush ONE individual or ONE group of individuals all bunched up in ONE location like the bonus army was but I don't believe for a minute that they can handle all of us at once all across the country when TSHTF. There is no possible way they can win against that, ESPECIALLY when at least half of the military either refuses the order to shoot at Americans or just plain deserts the military and joins our side when TSHTF because the last I checked the vast majority of the military hates the nig ger in the black house and I don't think for a minute that they would follow his orders to crush us just so that he can become dictator.

I believe you are taling about the REGULAR Army.

You seem to be forgetting the mandated Domestic Army.
Mandated through the "Affordable Healthcare Act."
The "Army" that is currently being armed and funded with 'surplus' ordnance.

Just a thought, and something we must ALL keep in mind.
