If they do that to Texas? We may be next. Not to mention not ALL in the Military are gonna just comply.
Was not the scenario here that Texas had seceded from the US? The Federal government is not moving force at random here. It has an entire Army Corps and who knows how many Naval and Air Force assets stuck 100's of miles inside of now enemy territory, but not tens of thousands away in the case of Vietnam and Afghanistan. The Feds certainly have the power to defeat anything the Texans could throw at them. Would there be an insurgency? Of course but flat and open Texas will be the toughest kind of ground to fight one in if the Feds can see every move.

And i'm curious, what about the other two states you didn't mention? Why wouldn't they follow the other 47s lead? I'd think by that point concern would be unanimous!
