Forums - General - If someone invaded your country would you fight back?

If my family and friends would be threatened then I would fight to protect them.

I don't think I would be much of a fighter though...I would probably use psychological warfare or something instead.

LOL NO!!!!

I am too selfish, cowardly and self centred to do that. I would never ever put myself in harm's way or put myself into any kind of life threatening situation. Sorry if that sounded awful but its how it is!

I would look for a route to leave the country and go somewhere peaceful till its safe again loooooooooool



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

This thread is in desperate need of context.

NATO doesn't waltz into the happy lives of people living in democratic and stable countries, and take away all of their freedoms. They have no freedoms to begin with. Iraq and Afghanistan were both vile and oppressive dictatorships. Is a puppet government and occupation better than the Taliban or Saddam Hussein? Yes.

Is a puppet government and occupation better than a democratically chosen and fully accountable, liberal and capitalist government? No.

So, if somebody were to invade my country and turn it into Afghanistan, I might well fight. But it wouldn't happen, because countries like Britain aren't invaded.

Of course I would. Thanks to Canada's strict gun laws I'd be left defenseless though and probably die quickly. 



Yes, but I live in America...Its not going to happen. Not unless every city turns into Detroit.

Likely, I would support the country by purchasing whatever kind of C&C machine and manufacture arms or other supplies. Its unlikely I would be a good fighter, outside of maybe doing a sucide bombing. Of course, an American suicide bombing would be far different than what we see in other countries, hehe.

I live in the whitest county in America. Tons of militia/supremacists where I live. If it were ever to be invaded by a foreign power, it'd have to be turned into Stalingrad before it was taken by a foreign nation.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Well, i guess that's one advantage.

Your post cracked me up!  Yeah, I don't think suicide bombers would be in plentiful supply in the USA because of Ideoligical reasons.  I bet you could become a decent shot if you had someone show you how and you fired a couple downrange.  I can't say I live around a bunch of supremacists but I know my region would fight to the last man as well.  In America there are simply too many firearms owned by the general public, especially in rural areas, for a country to occupy it.

To be fair, my idea of a suicide bomber in an invasion of America is a bit different than a dude strapping TNT to his chest, and blowing himself up in a market place.

When I say suicide bomber, I mean someone that risks life and limb to defeat the invasion force. We have plentiful guns in America, but they wouldn't do anything against a nice T-90 or Leopard MBT. That is why I mentioned suicide bombings. I'd imagine that taking a C or D-class truck filled with explosives and driving it into an enemy strongpoint would be a worthy cause. Again, I'm not endorsing the cowardice of terrorists like what we liken to suicide bombers - to attack innocent bystandards - but take radical risks against a standing army.

Of course, I'd try not to risk life, and figure out how to accomplish such tasks by proxy, but still...I'd rather die knowing that I tried to fend off an invasion than die slowly under massive opression and human rights abuses, knowing that my family and friends met a horrible fate.

no comment.its a sore subject
