  1. I think this is fairly accurate, except it does not take into account the NRA boys. While normally, I have zero use for them and their pathological distrust of the U.S. government, there are roughly 30,000,000 gun owners in the U.S. and about 15,000,000 of them train and practice shooting rifles and handguns on a fairly regular basis. They have nothing better to do each Saturday other than handling their guns and their methamphetamine addictions. Suffice to say, the U.S. has a lot of mental defectives with guns, who are just looking to shoot someone, someone black-brown-Russian-English-German-neighbor... well, you get the gist of it. So, the U.S. has a much larger pool of well trained riflemen and snipers and just overall survivalists, who could be put in uniform, than the world might imagine. Now, controlling these 'high functioning' sociopaths might be a different matter. I think letting them loose on an enemy force and enemy terrain, would be quite effective. The U.S. does not lock away its mental health patients, it let's them live away from large population centers and practice shooting guns. It is much cheaper that way.
