Yes.
I think it's our duty to defend the homeland if a situation like that presents itself. I would certainly not hesitate to put a few rounds in some Russians and North Koreans.

I think if there ever was an invasion on US soil it is likely that the majority of the population would be defending itself against other Americans. The first strikes will be military and transportation targets. 99% of the population will live through that . The first real visible enemy will be hunger. Barely anyone has enough food to make it through the week without restock. A full scale invasion on any country in North America would take years to accomplish if it were even possible.
Would i defend myself (if this scenario was in Canada)? yes i would but i doubt it would be against Russians or North Koreans. It will be against my fellow countrymen who are just as hungry as I am.

I agree, I thought the Idea was merely hypothetical and I only wanted to point out that we have surrendered so much of what supports our life to a fragile intertwined system that could be disrupted a lot easier than our boarders. The only likely attack would be one that disrupted the systems in place. If that did happen then it would just be us fighting ourselves to survive off limited resources.

Well I would love to offer up an invasion plan that may work on the US but due to that black van parked outside of my apartment I think I will pass.
