Texas already has a constituion, and a huge portion of the US Military comes from Texas. We have a lot of trained retired military, as well as other forces. Also, a lot of the military equipment is made in Texas. It's not an unfamiliar sight to be stuck waiting for a train to pass loaded down with military vehicles. I don't really have an opinion either way on the issue, but I'm just putting it out there. It's not an impossibility.
Quoting Pema_Jampa:
Well they better come up with a military quick before some country invades and make them their b****.
Quoting Joqui:
ok ... hypothetically speaking... if Texas manages to leave the union... would they lose all American rights? would they have to start over and start their own constitution? I do believe they are economically able to maintain themselves BUT we depend on a lot of federal money for schools, roads TOLL ROADS, safety, etc. I don't think these people are thinking about it all the way through I just would like to know their theory. If you secede, now what? What "RIGHTS" do you have? Because the beauty of being American is being born with certain inalienable rights, you are practically telling the people of Texas to give up these rights and "come up" with new ones? or am I mistaken?
