Nicky gave me this idea and I will expand on it in the future...
Question. How would a modern day civil war play out?
Answer?
I have no idea. I do know that the tables have turned in a massive way since the first one though.
Military. The South, Midwest and many of the Rocky Mountain states houses the majority of our military units. Quite honestly the only major units that exist outside of the "Red" states is the 1st MarDiv, 25th Inf Div, 10th Mtn Div and a number of ships stationed at San Diego. The 2nd MarDiv, 82nd Abn Div, 1st Inf Div, 101st Abn (AAslt) Div, SOCOM and numerous other units (both AF and Navy) live and breath in the Red.
Resources. Ditto. Off shore oil, on land drilling, forestry, etc...are found primarily in the red states.
Industrial capacity. The same. The only major industries found in the blue states are finance (Wall Street) and to some extent movie making (Hollywood---but they're losing out as movies are going to cheaper locations in the US and Canada). Boeing is in Washington State but has much of its manufacturing in middle America and Lockheed Martin (the people I love to hate because of the F-35) are in Texas. Red wins again.
Food Production. The same on steroids. California has a robust agricultural industry but it pales in comparison to the rest of the red states. Additionally beef, poultry, wheat and other grains are all in the red states.
Summation. I'm just mudballing while waiting to watch the SeaHawks get throat punched by the 49ers. Don't take this seriously.
