Texas could defend itself; after all, who would we need to fight?

One of the more entertaining zingers trotted out by statists when the subject of Texas secession comes up is that a Lone Star Republic couldn’t defend itself from invasion.

It’s entertaining because those making such a statement tend to be rabidly anti-military to begin with, and seem to lack a basic grasp of Texas’ unique geographic position in relation to the rest of the world.

(My personal favorite was the 16-year-old who asked in a MySpace forum: “What are you going to do when the Chinese show up and run right over you?” China doesn’t even have the amphibious capability to invade Taiwan—which it badly wants—much less truck more than a million troops halfway around the world to have to fight house-to-house in Texas, which it doesn’t need.)

Silliness aside, however, a fledgling Republic of Texas would have to make some military decisions—how to handle the presence of large U.S. military installations, for example, and organizing its own military forces and command structure.

For starters, realize that despite the venom flying out of the mouths of statists, Texans aren’t talking about a second Civil War when they talk of secession. Most members of the Texas Nationalist Movement favor negotiations with our parent country concerning installations such as Fort Hood, Fort Bliss and Ingleside Naval Base.

We realize the strategic value of these installations to the United States. There’s nothing says the U.S. can’t retain leases on those bases and training facilities, and if Texas military forces are allowed joint participation, there’s no reason we can’t make those leases very reasonable.

Texas is not without military forces of its own. For one thing, more than 10 percent of active-duty Americans currently serving in uniform are Texans, according to Sen. John Cornyn’s office; other estimates put that number as high as 15 percent, and a large percentage of trained pilots are also Texans.

Texas also has a National Guard and state militia which, in a pinch, dwarf the military forces of most other nations. Texas’ Army National Guard includes two full divisions – the 36th Infantry and 49th Armored – as well as supporting units. The Air National Guard has two full fighter wings, an airlift wing and various support units.
