Just to show that some things never change, I recall reading a piece by George Washington where he went through the calculations that a well organized army with military weapons could go up against a civilian force with civilian weapons with a ten to one advantage. The point of his piece was that we should never let the military exceed that 10 to 1 ratio so the populace could always defeat the government.
