That is nothing new. History shows that they send in military from another country ( the UN or China) or another USA region that dislikes Texans, like Mexicans or New York city. Send Alabamans to New York and New Yorkers to Alabama or Mississippi.
It's, ahem,
interesting to contemplate what kind of reception that troops from New York would receive in Alabama and Mississippi. Them's country boys down there, and they do what country boys do.
I've always said, if a foreign power were ever to attempt to subjugate the United States, the first thing they'll have to do, is annihilate everyone south of Cincinnati and east of Albuquerque. Dixie and Greater Appalachia don't play that.
Atlanta is a great big blob of outsiders plunked down into the middle of the rural South. Ditto for Charlotte. (Due to the universities and research facilities, Raleigh/Durham/RTP is kind of its own thing, always has been.)
