Oh, so let me get this straight, tens of thousands of lardass Texas militiamen are somehow magically going to be willing to live in tunnels with the most primitive amenities and horrible conditions? Why the fuck would you think that for a moment? These aren't third world peasants who are used to living in extreme privation and are willing to die for their cause no matter what. They're a bunch of out of shape untrained fat body crybabies who wouldn't last a week without easy access to the rest of North America's logistics, financial and power infrastructure.
The US wouldn't have to fire a single shot, they'd just bomb the Texas power stations, shut down all border crossings into and out of the state, shut down all banking so that only a barter economy existed, and within a week or so the entire state would be on its knees begging for relief.
You can't do that in places like Vietnam or Afghanistan where the enemy is totally self-sufficient and is quite happy to wait you out. You really think Texans are going to be able to do that? In what universe? What a joke. You obviously haven't thought this through.
