If your country was invaded.....

[Squilookle]

As an Australian who has never even held a gun let alone fired one- I'd take the SOE route and flee to New Zealand, train up to buggery there with New Zealand commandoes, and then slip back into Australia with a small team under cover of darkness one foggy night...

 

[Lord Kloo]

I live in the UK..

I shall not surrender to any invading army, unless they happen to be more beneficial and enlightening than the powers ruling the UK, whatever future parliament that might be..

I'd mostly rather die than live under a foreign dictatorship.. then again, if it was in the interest of creating a united human empire then I might be willing to go along with it, for the 'Greater Good' and all that..

EDIT: I may have a small problem in that I'm a pacifist, so hopefully the enemy will get sick from killing too many people and just give up and go home..

 

[theonlyblaze2]

Depends. Am I fighting for America or the American Government?

You're fighting for your way of life. Its not that hard to understand.

Had a question like this at school. It ended up being the government I was supposed to defend. That is why I ask. I would fight to the death for whay America used to stand for.

 

[Baradiel]

Well, if a very socialist/communist party was freely elected into power in Britain, historical precedents imply that the US would either use covert means to topple the government or use military force.

If the US army invaded the UK, like fuck I'd fight back. I'm not the most aggressive person in the world, and would probably be pretty useless in a combat scenario, but ofcourse I'd be everything in my power to resist the invaders.

Also, if we became openly socialist/communist, the "Special Relationship" will have broken down, and ties with our European neighbours would become stronger. Hopefully, the US would have to invade all of the EU.

Including France. Who have the third highest amount of nuclear weapons in the world. And the French dont fuck around!

 

[Lord Kloo]

Here the thing about invading froce. You want to stop them right away. Prevent them from getting resupplies and logistical routs. If they can't feed and supply their forces, they will be taken apart easily.

Invading a country is very risky because
1. You're outnumbered
2. You risk of running out of supplies

The US military have the best logistical network in the world. The majority of US military is dedicated to supplying a very small percentage of fighting forces. No other countries is able to do what we can.

I'm thinking NATO is a pretty good contender to the US army in terms of supply, the same for the Chinese army which manages to get supplies to 3 million ground troops, the wonders of communism..

 

[Flames66]

My plan would be to go native out of Dartmoor and start up some guerilla warfare.

 

[Romidude]

Depends. If it was an eastern Asian country, I'd fight to the death because they don't fuck around. Middle Eastern, throw bacon and grenades at them. European or Canadian,I would turn traitor so fast.

This was the cherry on top of my perfect day, thanks.

Erm...you do know that the US is part of NATO, right? If you meant the EU, than possibly. The UK has very good logistical capabilities, for example, and France has a massively powerful military you don't hear much about.

The Chinese military forces can be supplied because they stay in China not fighting anyone. The American forces have to be supplied while constantly invading distant countries. China doesn't have a deep sea fleet, it can't invade overseas nations.

 

[John the Gamer]

My country is almost completely broken up over wether or not to send 500-ish soldiers to Afghanistan, And most of our F16-jets are in dire need of spare parts. So I doubt we'll last very long. I'm kindof ashamed that we can't even support a small war anymore. We're the 17th economy for crying out loud. (For some reason we can't go to the G20)

We only lasted 5 days against the Germans in 1940, though we managed to shoot down 520 German aircraft, weakening it enough to stall the invasion of Britain.

I'm Dutch btw. We rule. Or so we did. Once. Long ago. Fuck us.

Maybe we'd last a month, longer with NATO help.

We are, btw, amongst the creators of the UN, EU and NATO. So we're not completely fucked. I hope.

 

[Coraxian]

In this day and age, taking the size of my country into account, it'd probably be overrun in less than a day if the invading army was big enough.

Since my country's been occupied territory for most of its history, the culture itself has turned into one of slight anarchy/anti government.

If, however, enough guns were distributed during that time, a full blown nationwide urban guerilla war 30 times the size of Baghdad could kick in.

And you better believe that I'll be one of the "insurgents".

 

[MurderousToaster]

The issue with fighting back for me, since I live in the UK, is that there are not very many guns to fight back with, since most varieties of guns are illegal to own unless under very specific circumstances and with the right licenses.

 

[Super Toast]

Yeah, I probably would.

 

[Apollo45]

Me and my room mates had a discussion about this a while back actually. I think we all determined that if we were invaded we would definitely fight back. However, the likelihood of that happening without a significant nuclear strike first is minimal, simply because (as has already been stated) there are more than enough guns to go around here in the US. The sheer number of armed citizens who both know the land and will fight to the death for it would be severely detrimental to any attempt at invasion, which leads me to believe that, much for the same reasons we nuked Japan in WWII (the Japanese government telling its citizens to throw themselves at the invading armies and whatnot), there probably won't be a significant invasion of the US without a full scale nuclear and aerial strike, which would lead to a retaliation, which would most likely lead to a post-apocalyptic survival scenario, which we have also planned for.

However, ignoring all that, we've spent a fair bit of time thinking up different traps we could use, strategies for use against organized armed forces, and so on. By ourselves we probably wouldn't make a ton of difference, but we'd definitely try our damndest to cause some havoc.

 

[Gunsang]

Depends. If it was being invaded by a nice country, I would welcome them. If, on the other hand, it was a cruel country, I would only fight to the death against them only if there was a Republic of Colorado. If the Republic of Colorado would not be created and I had to fight for the USA or no country at all, I think I would just go into the mountains and wait it out.

oh and "Wolverines!!!!!!!" (I salute you if you get the ref)

And I salute you for knowing about Red Dawn.

 

[AllLagNoFrag]

Well, as a soldier for my country, I sort of have to. However, it would also depend WHY they were trying to invade in the first place. After all, you cant say every single Middle Eastern person is against America's war in the middle east.

Well.......
....All you Americans with your automatic guns and explosives and rednecks and WHOOOOOOAAAAAA!...we know what you're thinking.
"This is America, if you don't like it then you can GER OUT!"...I am of course kidding, I like the Yanks.

Buut, in my country it's different. We're of course fiercely patriotic as any country but more towards the country's people as opposed to the actual real-estate aspect of it.

My country, along with many others would be a failed occupation by a foreign force, be it China or America. The land is large and covered and the environment is something you'd have to live in to survive in...
...
But I'm ranting through patriotism, what I'm saying is that any country's occupation is at the very least 'hard' if not impossible for the opposing force. This is only an eventuality if the citizens are doing 'their part' for whatever resistance there is.
Occupations fail because the occupants view the foreign armies are the enemy, and are undermined at every turn be it through actual fighting or simply being uncooperative in a social context.

Occupations fail because of the citizens resistance, and for my country I'd be willing to place myself at risk in it's defence if not salvation.

You may not realise it but if your country was occupied you'd be adding to the occupation's fail by simply being reluctant to accept dictatorship....or whatever that fancy word is. Forcing beliefs if not occupation onto a person or a civilisation will fail because of the 'human spirit'...or if that sound too cheesy think of it as the human identity. Not as a whole but as an individual, no one can force you to believe and act through any means (even by force) because the ideals being pushed against you aren't your own. If you're trying to think of a visual, picture a North and North magnet pressing against each other. What happens? Now imagine that one of those magnets is you're country and the other is the country you're worried about <No, the answer is not Russia....well it could be but that's because you've played too much Call of Duty >

....Yes I've written alot, I hope those that read it find my views interesting...and don't flame me for voicing my opinion.

Have a good one

[Lonely Swordsman]

There has to be a reason for the invasion. If it's a good one, I might join the invaders. If they're just after ressources/money, I'd probably join the militia or some underground resistance. (army is no option because I didn't pass the health test at the mandatory 6 month service draft when I was 18)

 

[KLJT]

"Red army has invaded London and seized control of Britain" i sit and have only one objective learn "fish supper and steak pie" in chinese

 

[geezah91]

Just to keep an Irish flag flying, I'd fight, especially if it was the Brits.
