Though I also wonder how in the ever loving fuck he's going to get those people there, or on which side they will be fighting for, as we have to assume the rebels are either dead broke or relying on ransacked goods and gold from bank vaults, whereas the Gov't can just draw from their treasury (see: a whole lotta dosh)...
... Then again the numbers are in the gov'ts favor, so I'd be curious to see how this even plays out anyways since they can't take land for themselves...
