This idea that the US military is just gonna bomb Houston without the people in the Air Force saying, hey, wait a minute, I've got family there, is just stupid. If you think that US Civil War Part II is going to be over quickly and easily, without the same kind of grind that we had the first time, well, I've got some bad news for you.
Hard disagree. The US wouldn't have to fire a shot or drop a single bomb. All they'd have to do is close all of Texas's borders, shut off its access to the Internet and global finance and then wait about a week. What's Texas going to do? It's not like it's even remotely self-sufficient or that all Texans would be stoked about the idea of secession in the first place.
This is a very different and much more interconnected time than the 1860s.
