Now here is a serious question, give it some thought. I was thinking about this lately since the 4th of July just passed. All those people during the revolution stood up to the worlds most powerful country at the time, and slugged it out very often toe to toe. The British army and navy of the 18th century was one of the finest, best trained, and most seasoned.
That would be like the Iraq insurgents fighting head to head with the full strength of our forces and driving us from the field!
So would you have the balls to stand their as the people you know all around you are dropping and fire back? Knowing full well that the next volley may be heading your way?
This is an interesting question, one that I cannot fully answer myself. I hope the answer is yes, certainly everyone has to die at some point. I love this country enough that it certianly would be possible.
Tom Clancy time:
The year is 2015, the most of the west coast is gone, destroyed by a Chiness first strike. The PLA has just landed in force in northern and southern CA. The Russians are moving down through Alaska and Canada. What would you do? Run? Stay put? Surrender?
