A PRIVATE CITIZEN TAKING ON A TANK, OR A MILITARY HELICOPTER? READ ON
Ragnar Benson is one of the most famous Survivalist authors (e.g., The Survival Retreat: A Total Plan For Retreat Defense, Ragnar's Urban Survival: A Hard-Times Guide to Staying Alive in the City, Survival Poaching, Mantrapping, etc.).
He wrote in the Introduction to this 1996 book, "in recent years U.S. government-inspired, directed and instigated acts of violence against its own citizens have dramatically increased... As a result, common citizens may find themselves arrayed against government tanks, armored vehicles, machine gun and perhaps even artillery fire for little more than wanting to be left alone..." (He mentions Ruby Ridge and Waco as examples.)
He explained in the Foreword that all of the techniques in the book have been "successfully deployed" in one fashion or another; however, "None are simple, cheap or easy."
He asserts (against the opinion of "armchair theorists") that even a modern tank can be "taken out" with fire, if enough of it is used (starving its engine of oxygen it needs to run). (Pg. 71) One's purpose is not "to launch a major tank battle that one is certain to lose," but rather to lower the morale of the intruding troops and officers (who realize that this was done "by lowly civilians"; pg. 73).
He describes even the very latest in military helicopters, since "desperate governments may easily feel that a single citizen defender's death is worth that price." (Pg. 104)
He concludes with the observation that our own children and young adults will be the wielders of the weapons used against the defenders, and states, "This brief conclusion is intended as an impassioned plea that our young men and women not follow orders mindlessly, and that when and if they are given orders to attack fellow Americans, they give serious, thoughtful consideration to both the background and consequences of such actions." (Pg. 197)
