How Cultural Revolutions Die — or Not | National Review

This article discusses the history of cultural revolutions and the patters noted as applicable to current events. The article is informative as well as settling in the way that simplifies current events and predicts possible future courses that will playout.

There is a pertinent issue that is not discussed but is becoming an elephant in the room: does there exist the tactical capacity to address worst case scenarios? If there were to be foreign participation and various assets mobilized in a coordinated effort to do harm to our Constitutional Republic, we may be limited in our ability to mitigate the treat and results.

Lacking autonomous small unit tactical capabilities as a force an effective counter insurgency would be extremely difficult. A militarized insurgency would have the tactical advantage in America due to the tactical micromanagement strategy of US forces, compared to the simple strategy of a militarized insurgency that would only need to chaotically engage targets at will and without and command and control; autonomous units could then readily adapt tactics to fit US forces responses, as seen in other areas of operation where there existed a will to fight as an insurgency.

The last two factors that I find pertinent:
The entirety of US civilian and military operation is well known and referenceable digitally, this information is detailed and includes; equipment, personnel, tactics, resources, doctrine, and applicable history.
Central command, rapid communication, and sustained logistical operations are the defining characteristics of US civilian and military operations; all three have unmitigable risks that create prime targets for subversion as well as overt disruptions or total incapacitance. Secure communications seems to be the at the greatest risk.
