If your country was invaded...

[Cootie]

What would you do?

If you live in America lets say the Chinese (and for some retarded reason out military let them past out shores) are invading our country and your state. Anyone that doesn't live in America should imagine that the American army is invading your country. Also, they are in your town or are within a fifteen mile radius of it.

I would probably take up arms against them and I have little doubt that most people in south would do the same. I have some decent guns and I know how to use them pretty well through target practice and hunting experience.

I have a .270 rifle and an 8x scope. I could probably get two of them using guerrilla tactics such as hiding in bushes before they got me. I feel strongly that I wouldn't pussy out and skip town or try to make my way into Canada. I fear death just like everyone else does, but some things are worth dying for.

I live in the English countryside......I have an air rifle? I would probably just run.

I hear England has strict gun laws. You guys would be fucked.

I'd practice shooting with some guns, and then I'd get prepared to fight for my life and for my country!

[IncendiaryProduction]

I live in a short driving distance of both one of the largest Marine Corps bases in the country, as well as Fort Bragg, which houses almost all of the country's special forces and the Airborne.

I'm in a sandwich of safety.

[ThatGuyWithGlasses]

I live in Mexico and we would be fucked, unless it would be a poor country such as haiti or something.

But if we were invaded by a powerful country most people would flee to the states or to central america.

[Viktor]

I would Buck Up, and round up the Red Army.

They would fly over, look out and say, 'Oh, this place has already been bombed.'

I would like to thank my grandfather, whose job during the war was (we joke partially) to 'guard Blackpool', for that joke.

[Floofs]

I would fap.

War is a constant threat. It's not like he asked you what you would name a flying green kangaroo.

Why the hell am I being attacked?

Money, land, political superiority.

Or are you asking what I would do to defend my country? If I wanted to defend my country I would be the army.

Your mind might change when it's your house getting stuck in the crossfire.

That reminds me, I'm in a pretty good position too! I live near Los Angeles Air Force Base AND Edwards Air Force Base, so we're pretty well protected over here.

[JaY11]

It's very easy to say you'd protect yourself by any means when you have never experienced such a threat. I live in the UK, which means where I live has guns as a means of protection, so we'd probably run/be fucked in the ass by invaders.

The deep south would probably kick some ass if foreign troops invaded. I don't think any country could expect to invade America since SOOOO many people have guns and many wouldn't mind making a militia.

I can imagine myself in the woods with my hunting rifle wearing my camo. Scoping in and popping a guy and then running like hell before they even knew where it came from.

[samwd1717]

because england is such a small country The nation would be surrounded by any major power but an invasion against an equivilant eurpean nation may not be as bad

My first instict would be to flee to scotland seen as I would expect and invasion to happen in the south east of england as that has the capital but I may think they would inavde the neibouring nations (scotland, ireland) before hand

luckerly nearby there is a Cadets training place where kids could learn military dicpline and stuff but I heard they had some rifles there so I should be able to get those and maybe my grandads shotguns if I could get to his house.

Once armed I would plan on escaping the country with a group of people and my family. If we could find out who was attacking us and where from we would try to find a coastal town and get a boat and maybe flee to a country not at war (choices would be somewhere in norway/sweden or maybe france and spain). But if I was limited to what I got and I didnt know much about the enemy then not a fucking clue. best bet is to hope the enemy doesnt kill civilians

[SouthAsian]

If my family couldn't escape to Canada I'd stay and fight.My local community would probably mobilize and provide every able bodied male a fire arm something to fight off the invading force.Besides this country is great and has defined who I am.It has allowed me to flourish.I owe it.

[saltovergray]

Run to the Air Force base.

But really, are these invaders going to kill everyone or here just to take out the military and take over? Either way, to the Air Force base where my dad works.

[lawlmaster]

Anyone watch Red Dawn? ( or was it Red October?) but the thing you just stated happens in it, except it was the Russians.

If a country made it to the south, we would fuck their ass so fast they wouldn't have time to cough.

Besides containing more military bases than I care to count, an amazing portion of the population is ex-military.

I could walk a mile down the street right now and gather enough veterans for a whole platoon.

Lots of rednecks means lots of guns, and we know how to shoot them.

When the north was fighting in North Carolina during the civil war, they said that the North Carolinians were such good shots the Northerners ran off with their tails between their legs (it was too late in the war to make a difference though), in fact General Lee said "God bless the Tar heel boys."

A war in the south is a victory for America. Al Qaeda thinks they are good at insurgency? Come on down to dixie and we'll show you how it's done.

Thats the problem ya see, most people know america is gunna be well armed so insted of attacking them with infantry or soldiers they probably blow any resitance up with some tanks and artillry. I mean trying to me a civilian population with guns is gunna be the same number of people but are trained soldiers doesnt make much sense seen as the soldiers are armed with more ammo, body armour and knowledge seen as they would know how to assault, take cover and survive. I aint saying the south wouldnt put up more of a fight but a win? come on, most soldiers in afghanistan cant even kill a few nut cased extremists in rags and an assault rifle. unless most southner americans are crazy nut cased extremists who know gurillia warfare then hell, maybe they will ut up a good fight.

[RacistBassist]

Probably join their ranks.

America wouldn't be able to fight they would think their playing COD ad try to run (fat ass) into the battlefield trying to get some no-scopres and pwn some nubs before the incredibly strict and brutal chinese army would slaughter them. While the Canadians on the other hand play gears of war and would kill any army. The English would be too posh to kill any one. The russians will just dick about while the Vatican city will acquire their army of uber-priests killing all and that means only japan will be left to fap over hentai. Oh and the other countries do some stuff blah blah blah...

True that. During the Civil War the Confederate forces would be up against forces twice their size and still win. Multiple times Robert E Lee would have an army of 60,000 and kick the Union's ass when they had 130,000+.

I would probably die sometime during the war due to not being very fast at running. But, I would surely be able to get at least one if I popped up out of a ditch somewhere and caught them off guard.

Tanks have to get up close and personal, be accompanied by infantry, and is sort ineffective in guerrilla warfare. Arty is gonna have to be within a few miles, and infantry has to get close enough to confirm targets.

Your poor grammar and ignorance of warfare has made this impossible for me to interpret

I aint saying the south wouldnt put up more of a fight but a win? come on, most soldiers in afghanistan cant even kill a few nut cased extremists in rags and an assault rifle.

You've been playing too many video games. Our soldiers fighting in the middle east are not in firefights. This enemy puts an IED or a RPG attached to a kitchen timer on a road side, and never puts himself in a situation where you could eliminate him.

The American military is arguably the best in the world, but when the enemy does not actually shoot at you and wears no uniform, how do you know who the enemy is?

unless most southner americans are crazy nut cased extremists who know gurillia warfare then hell, maybe they will ut up a good fight.

You are just ignorant, so I will not hold any of this bullshit you have tried to rationalize against you.

[nerdking]

So my country is being invaded by the Chinese, if the military fails then that would fall to my clone army, the flaw in that is there all based off me, so after being picked off like flies i would do the logical thing and find a dead Chinese soldier, take his skin off, staple it to mine, and then take a dire crash course in Chinese.

Not take up arms based on some delusional thought that I would go around killing everybody like a tank.

When there are masses of them that know the terrain they are fighting in, know how to survive in the wilderness, and know those rifles like the back of their hands, it is apparently in their favor.

The ragged American revolutionary army defeated the most powerful imperial force in the world by hiding in the bushes with rifles.

Contrary to what Call of Duty has told you, tanks are pretty much only useful against buildings and other tanks.

They would eventually just decide to leave after we create enough of a nuisance out of ourselves. It doesn't matter what kind of gun you have if they never find you as well. As long as on average each American kills one guy or so we should be alright.

They would eventually realize we wouldn't give up, have enough of out guerrilla bullshit, and go home. Look at what happened to the Americans in Vietnam and later the Soviets in Afghanistan. A country that refuses to give up until every citizen is dead can be quite hard to beat.

I know, I meant " tank " like master chief in halo. We're humans, not invincible genetically altered tanks.
