 What is the Fort Sumter moment?  I believe the Texas National Guard would have to seize Joint Base San Antonio to start things off fo realz.

 The rub is that much of the federal military would be on Texas' side. They might not need to "take" if it came to that.

 The have been steadily trying to purge the military of patriots... especially Texas.  The cucks with stars on their collar, pardoned the treasonous murderers of the Houston riots of 1917 to try and demoralize the troops.  They want constitutionist-patriots to quite in disgrace and suicide themselves IMHO.
