There's only a slight ironic tuch here. Even if you're 100% correct with your statement your solution will bring increased repression for the American people during the conflict (standard procedure in war, and more doubtful reasons gives higher dissent to prevent) and will then continue until the assimilation process is complete in atlest 150 years.
Preventing assimilation will increase the need to control the inner ranks, while keeping the US population in a permanent war situtation due to the need to maintain dominance.

Military states are hardly the concept for liberty is it?

May I suggest a better idea? Build massive underground bunkers, start a nuclear war with Russia and watch the world burn. Then start to repopulate the surface after a few hundred years. It's successful rate is considerbly higher and the underground societies doesn't need to become military states (although some kind of dictorship can still happen due to dependence on equipment) and can actually come quite close to libertarian societies (although probably closer to organised anarchism with some socialistic tendencies (mostly due to the closeness the smaller comunities develops)).
