The world's largest army?
America's hunters.
A blogger added up all the hunters in just a handful of states, and comes
to a striking conclusion: The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without
someone getting killed. That's great. There were over 600,000 hunters.
Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth
largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than France
and Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state to
help keep the deer menace at bay.
But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of
Pennsylvania in recent weeks. Michigan's 700,000 hunters have now returned home.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it is literally the
case that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest
army in the world.
His point-America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind
of home-grown firepower.
Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of
national security.
