While alot of people in LA did grow up like that, there are 10x's more that didn't. LA isn't all swamps and crazy coonasses. Would be willing to bet that most people in the state wouldn't make it more than a day or two in the swamp without proper gear. If they wanted to fight in swamps though, they would not make it out alive. ETA: Just like if they wanted to come up to north LA and fight in the woods, they would have problems too.
It's cool... We need someone to man the gun boats...

Can you imagine how hard it would be for them to clear out every deer camp in Louisiana? Or any southern state for that matter.

I also think that you underestimate one HUGE resource that will be on our side.
The gang element.
I think the gangs of New Orleans and BR alone would be enough to frick up some Arabs.

IMO, this would be just as difficult for them as fighting in the swamps. I know our camp like the back of my hand and with two or three guys with rifles, I feel like we could protect it very well.

Was thinking that.. North BR is likely just as well armed as ISIS

Gangs would be gone IMO. Once they realized they would be out gunned, they would run just like they do in everyday situations.

Do Arabs do a lot of street drugs? Because that is the only way any of our gangs would get invloved if their crack starting disappearing.

I never claimed we would get defeated. Nor did I claim it would be easy for ISIS. I am just casting doubt over the assertions that all 2MM+ Louisiana citizens (A number stated earlier) would pick up arms and start blasting people. Groupthink, for better or worse, would dictate how this battle would go. History says so
True... as long as the pillow biting pussies stay out of our way..It's all good..
Can't be running rescue opts during a good fire fight

shite, this fight would be over in a month or less... with every single invader dead.
I'll just use my house as an example: in less than 30 minutes, I can have five members of my family outfitted with military-grade weapons and ammunition, and all five are experienced hunters who have shot in competition. That's five snipers generated in a heartbeat. How many families like mine are there in Louisiana? I would wager a few hundred. With untrained rabble tying up ISIS on the frontlines, imagine what just 1,000 sniper-quality hunters could do all day, every day fighting a guerrilla campaign on its own soil.

Thanks for providing a logical response, our biggest asset is purely our geography. We have an advantage similar to fighting in a jungles of southeast asia.
two things I know as certainties you never get involved in a land war in Asia and Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. We got plenty of Sicilians in south LA

Under this scenario, that's not what they'd do. They would have to move inland out of the swamps quickly and set up a base of operations, probably an airport outside of a moderate city. Somewhere near Houma would be a good guess. Once the base of operations was set, they would use the existing infrastructure to maneuver to different sectors and take over the city and its infrastructure.
Once this base was held which is possible with the numbers suggested, it would take an organized opposition to overtake them. This would take time and coordination. They would also confiscate boats and more arms to allow them easier usage of waterways.. Dont get me wrong, they would eventually lose with such small numbers but it would take some time.

I'm not sure they'd make it to Houma to be honest.

Not every gang member has an automatic AK-47, grenades, RPG's etc.. Most have would probably carry cheap stolen pistols and for the most part seldomly fire them except for in alleys for fun. Would imagine they would have a hard time putting bullets down range effectively while being shot at.
They would be out gunned against ISIS just like they would be out gunned against myself and most of the outdoor board.

All you have to do is blow bridges and they're trapped (assuming they don't have some kind of massive, secret, brown water navy).
All the citizens of Louisiana have to do to win is block bridges, snipe, and harass using small gorilla units and river craft.

So in this Scenario.. the only logical way for them to get that many men, weapons and vehicles here ... They would have to come by Sea.. probably a few large tanker type ships..... If we had any heads up what so ever... they wouldn't make landfall imo... we'd sink'em and mop them up before the made a port..

What would make it much more difficult would be if they somehow were allowed to land in another state (say Texas) and come in that way. It would be much tougher to defend a terrestrial invasion than a naval one.

Half would die from the elements alone...the other half would die from the scoped rifles of coon asses & rednecks just chilling in the duck & deer blinds
