Most likely I'd secretly assist the enemy any way I can, unless I didn't care for the invading country. America has too many blindly patriot redneck bigots, and my blood won't be split for their safety. Too many have died already for the freedom we abuse.

I was going to join the forces anyways. To the death!

Hell, I'd even consider being an invading force.....

No.

If America is invaded, screw it, I'd rather live in England anyway.
What's stopping you from leaving?

ot: hell yes. better dead than red.
plus I think it is everyones civic duty to kill a few commies in ones lifetime.

dosen't matter on the situation. because if america did become a dictator ship, i would have already died fighting it.

Depends on the invaders' agenda. If they were planning to establish totalitarianism a la North Korea or execute anyone that pissed them off a la the Taliban, then yes. Absolutely. If it was, say, the French or the Canadians, and they just got sick of our bullshit and wanted our greedy imperialistic asses under better management, then I'd probably sit back and let them do their thing.

I'm against the US's invasion of other countries, but I fully understand and recognize the need for our military force. I would enlist if our country was under genuine, deadly threat.

His name is Mr. Hilter, get it right.
But yes, I would fight off an invading force. I seriously doubt Germany would fight us, but someone like Russia, China, or North Korea might get into the spirit of things. Not sure about the branch, though. My grandpa was in the Navy Seabees from 47-77, so that has a pull, but it all comes down to where I feel my need is put. Or can get in. Not sure what weight requirements would be. Especially since I'm what you might consider "scrawny as hell."

As a matter of principle? No.

It would depend on the specifics.
exactly. would totally depend on who was invading. Canada? pshhh, i'd love to be Canadian. some fundamental Muslim country, or China or North Korea? hell no, i'd rather die fighting.
I know a lot of Canadians, sure they come off all friendly and earnest, but there is just something there. Something hidden. I think the whole nation is just sitting up there ploting.

Eh hem, anyway. Yeah I would end up fighting, provided this are wasn't bombed back to the stone age. Which is a high probability seeing how we have several important military installations around these parts.

Don't like the poll,
I'd go for a more simple, yes I would - if I was drafted option.
It would totally depend on my current situation, however - for instance if I was ill, or a (very) close relative was very ill, I'd be more obliged to help them... after all, better my family then a piece of dirt ruled by a government I don't particularly like.

I really don't think fighting would solve anything. Ok, so I pull my $150 Katana out, but what to do when it breaks? Oh. I'm so dead.

No, no, better to try and not piss the invading force off. If I get the chance, I'd hide, John Marsden style (You know, except without the ironic hell analogy and bridge-related guerrilla warfare. I figure foresty area would work, unless the invaders don't care about resources and just torch the fucking place)

But otherwise? If people go out of the way to invade Australia, it sure as hell isn't because we pose a significant military threat. No, they want some of our precious Australium. If I ignore them, they might just shove me into a camp, or something, to mine said Australium.

Of course, when that proved itself dangerous and painful, due to various abuses suffered? I don't know. Everyone has a breaking point. I'm sure that right now, given a chance, I would NOT be able to kill anyone, regardless of present circumstances. After a year of mining in full BDSM gear? Well, you never know.

Short answer: technically, no.
Long answer: I'm an American citizen, and I'm grateful to live in a country with the freedoms we have. At the same token, however, there are so many problems in the government system we have, it's one I wouldn't actively defend. Don't light the flames on me just yet, hear me out. I'm an anarcho-communist, and I believe that the only power one must listen to is oneself. For those of you that don't know what Anarcho-communism is, I'll put it as simply as I possibly can.

Every man can fend for himself, but we live longer and better if we work together.

Synopsis/tl;dr - I'd find my own bit of land to claim as my own and fight for that.

Depends on who's doing the invading. If the invaders can do a better job of running this country - no. If we're talking about some Communist/Banana Republic - yes.

Not like... I wouldnt go enlist in the military but would I try to fight like a Wolverine in Red Dawn? Fuck yeah.

I don't like my home country, and one day I'll leave it for one I feel is better. But for right now, it is my home, and I strongly believe in the spirit in which it was FOUNDED on. I seriously doubt any invading force into America would have anything but bad intentions.
