I'm not particularly patriotic, though anyone who would go to the trouble of invading the US isn't exactly coming to overthrow our corporate overlords in the name of goodwill. The lesser evil would definitely be to keep what is here already going.

That said, after my medical discharge, I'd have to join a militia or play mercenary rather than being able to join the armed forces again.

I'd fight, but not for some greater good, i'd fight to provide for my family everything necessary to survive the ordeal.

I don't think the United States would ever be invaded in my lifetime.

If it were- of course I would protect help to protect what's mine and the others around me. I think most people would do the same. Becomes less of a matter of politics, I don't think anyone on the ground would fully understand the reason for their country being invaded, they're being reactionary. Would definitely lead to more sympathy and deterrence to invading other countries.

That's what I'm supposed to do.
And thankfully, because of you, We Have Reserves

On another note, the expected lifespan in a battle situation for a soldier with the specialization I have, is about 40 seconds, if we get spotted.
Which is why most combat siuations are over before a single shot is fired.

*is Canadian*

Depends on the invaders. If they're oppressors who are mercilessly taking us over and shooting innocents then heck yeah, I'll break my promise of Pacifism and return fire!

I guess apple pie and patriotism to the side.
Who wouldn't fight, seriously...it's your home you grew up in that country.

I mean other than most Americans whine they sit in to much traffic, don't get enough 4g coverage ect...

You think a invading country would waste the cash to make you comfortable? Think anything would get better?

Keep in mind only the Nato forces follow rules of war so expect determent camps and anyone being killed for any reason.

I'd fight to the last, until the invaders are driven into the sea or my body rots to the ground. My country may not be perfect, but I'll still fight for it.

U.S. here, I don't know. the way I see it, an invasion would really be the spark sets off an ultra-nationalist fervor in the United States, which wouldn't give a damn about rights. I'd more or less be fighting for a federal democratic tyranny.

As my government currently is, no.

Depends who was doing the invading, if it was the US Army I'd likely stick around and just chill, I might not like it, but at least they worry about the press jumping their shit and wont start shooting us out of hand.

If it was China or a nation that thinks "human rights" is something sci-fi authors made up, my family and I would be out in the bush so fast you're head would spin. We've got a store of fire arms (all legal), ammo, and actual tough non-trendy camping equipment, plus we all grew up in rural areas and know the bush like the back of our hand.

I personally could survive off the land for years with no trouble, and so could they. I don't give a shit how good the invaders are, they aren't going to find anyone who doesn't want to be found in the Australian bush.

I doubt I'd do more then ambush the occasional patrol for supplies, don't want to draw attention to us, I'd be more concerned with keeping my family safe... at least until tech withdrawal started to set in and then the bastards would be in for a world of cranky angry nerd that has actual survival skills, marksmanship awards, and a shaky sense of reality and morals.

probably, If they are invading for the wrong reasons, ie. they want our land, then I like to think that I would die fighting, or bring liberty to my country, If they are invading for the right reasons, for instance the government has become totally corrupt, is ignoring even the most basic tenements of democracy, and is generally doing everything that I dont want them to do, then I shall side with our rightful liberators, try to bring liberty to my country in any way possible
OT: tenements is use correctly here, isn't it? or is it even a real word? to avoid any confusion, a suitable replacement for the context would be ideals, or maybe pillars

Gladly. I'd fight to my last breath. I am quite proud to be a Canuck and wouldn't want to live in a world without glorious nation of Canada.

I suppose I would help by joining the military as a medic. I'd rather help those fighting than fight myself.

I may have a lot of problems with America, but if need be I would kill to defend it. I'd do whatever I had to in order to survive though. So no suicide bombing, no "last stand" if it could be avoided, and no way am I going to rush through enemy fire to save somebody who isn't immediate family/my girlfriend.

TO THE DEATH!

I would willingly die fighting for my country. But I would never fight merely for my government. In the hypothetical case of an invasion force seeking to topple a corrupt US gov I would side with the invaders because I would still be fighting for my country, my home, my way of life, and to uphold my rights.

And because I want (the all-too elusive in this day and age) GLORYDEATH!

I want to walk across the Rainbow Bridge
And see my fathers in the golden hall
They beckon me to join their feast
In my dreams I hear their call!
