3. Using Hitler as a strawman leaves something out

Hitler's men under arms (Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe, the various goon squads he had) were very well trained. The Jews were not. And training makes all the difference. Armed Jews wouldn't have died in the camps, they would have been shot in the ghettos by Nazi snipers on rooftops.

In the U.S., our "patriots" either have no training at all, are led by guys who patrolled in Nam in 1968, or are using Red Dawn as a training tape. Uhh...kiddies, the Russians aren't stupid. After the first Wolverines! attack, the Sovs would have sent up a plane with forward-looking infrared to find campfires and a couple of planes armed with 1000-pound laser-guided bombs to take out any they found. But the movie would have been 40 minutes long then...
