The reason the American military didn't achieve complete and total victory in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan was because we wouldn't harm innocents, not because we couldn't.
We kicked the shite out of Vietnam. Political pressure led to the pull out. The north was losing badly.
Being there in the first place is a wholly different debate, but North Vietnam didn't stand a chance

It would be almost impossible for a foreign force to sweep through Alabama's rural counties. Almost every household has 3 deer rifles and two shotguns....another third have AR15's and know how to bump fire

I read some article about how a Japanese General proposed a land invasion of the West Coast and a expert strategist shot down the idea saying, "once we get past California, there will be a sniper behind every blade of grass." #secondamendment

Reportedly that was said by the Japanese Navy's commander in chief... but it's bogus.
And it was "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

It's a great line but there's no proof Yamamoto ever actually said this. It's just one of these "FW: FW: FW:" email things. I've never hard the past California part added, that's a new twist.
FWIW there is no way the Japanese ever even considered, in their wildest dreams, landing on the mainland US. From their perspective it'd have been about as realistic as proposing an amphibious invasion of the moon.

Does it happen within the next 50 years? Even with our federal government leaning toward more socialistic values. I believe our military stands unmatched. What do you think will transpire?

What would that do to stop a tank?

Hell, the entire Northeast and West Coast states would probably welcome the ChiComs with open arms.

But look what a handfull of motivated guys did in new York back in 2001.
Killed 3,000 people and shocked a nation. In retaliation we've killed 100s of thousands and conquered two countries.

Let's say socialism = weak military. Like the USSR?
The tards on talk radio and fox news have distorted the word to mean weak, anti American, etc.
Don't be one of them. think for yourself.

He has been reading some Brad Thor. That was the reasoning behond the attack on the US in hislast book. The chinese were training civilians in North Korea to function as farmers with no electrical capabilities since the ultimate attack would have been an EMP. They would then come in and take over large areas as Americans died off from famine. Crazy. Aluminum Foil hat Crazy
