Could be? I thought we already had been. A more efficient successful invasion, is the kind that occurs behind closed doors. Not much resistance that way.
1. Is it possible in your mind that we, America, could be invaded?
I think that many people would kill, just because they could get away with it. Many would say that it is for their country, but in reality, it would simply be to fulfill that inner hunger for killing.
2. If so, what would YOU do for your country, family, friends, et cetra?

So basically I just played a playstation 3 game called Homefront, in which America is invaded and a Resistance fraction, in collaboration with the U.S. government, fight the Koreans who invaded us... Now, I want to bring up a few points and leave you with some questions to freely discuss...
My Ideas:
1. IF... IF this were to happen, us being invaded by ANY country... To me, the collaboration between us and the armed forces would be highly effective, because us as citizens do not have to follow any rules of engagement, war crimes, et cetra...
2. Resistance fighters, plain clothed, in a US invader's eyes would be regular citizens, therefore making it easier top move freely and to ambush our invaders..
My questions to you are:
1. Is it possible in your mind that we, America, could be invaded?
2. If so, what would YOU do for your country, family, friends, et cetra?

Yes...I think it is very possible that we could be invaded..in our own country. If it does happen....I would tend to the wounded and make sure people were fed.

It's ridiculous to think that any single country could launch a conventional invasion of the USA.
The necessary logistics etc of such an action are immense.
The supply chains for the vast amounts of ammo, food, oil etc would have to stretch half way around the world and would be open to repeated attack from the US's quite substantial naval and air defenses.
And the invasion force itself would have to be immense, far larger than anything ever seen.
The only way this could ever possibly happen is if Russia, China and almost every other nation united together to conduct such an enormous operation, and that is never going to happen.
For instance, if you were to engage hostile forces wearing civvies (to blend in) and were somehow captured, you would not be given to many rights under the Geneva Convention. Chances are you would be summarily executed.
