Probably more....
www.cia.gov...
Military manpower - availability:
males age 18-49: 67,742,879 (2005 est.)
Of course not all would be fit for duty, but....
This doesn't include women AND we're talking about them coming over here to attack us......as Swivel mentioned, name one person who wouldn't fight?
That also brings up something else...
They're coming over here to attack us.
Geographically, the US is in a perfect defensive position. There's no way Russia and China have the resources to sustain such a campaign. Do you realize how much manpower and firepower it would require for them to even reach us?
Exactly, they would have to do a west coast invasion. Imagine all of those forces trying to get over the rocky mountains. Plus I dont know where all of these people say that the US fighters would be pointless. Lets remember that like 70% of our fighters are designed for dogfighting. Plus we have patriots and a bunch of other air defense. Any air invasion would be pointless. Oh and china lacks the landing ability to pull off an invasion to actually cripple even that part of the us.
