I patially agree with wildalaska

I think that at least 40% of our population would do what they were told by whoever was "In Charge". These folks are the "Sheeple"
Of the remaining 60% about half would be killed quickly, too many people with the same ideas, they would be easy to find and the aggressor might want to make an example of those who don't "conform"
But I think that people are pretty adaptive. Those that survive the initial attack, find a place to hide and re-group would quickly adapt to their new reality.
 
Any such situation is highly unlikely at best. The sheer logistics involved in attacking the USA would pose problems that no military force in the world could accomplish. The US will fall internally, without any overt use of foreign military forces. Look around you.
 
I'm going to say this one time on this forum and forever hold my peace.

I'm surprised that so many of you are going to be surprised. While you are spending your hard earned money on making your guns prettier the government is trying to come up with reasons to take them from you. While you are spending your money making your guns prettier, criminals are devising ways to take them from you. While you are concerned about making your guns prettier your boss is laying off employees and fearing for his job. While you are spending money making your guns prettier, others are losing their homes. While you are spending money making your guns prettier the true enlightened are storing food and water. While you are spending money making your guns prettier those of us who will not be surprised are storing ammunition. While you are spending money making your guns prettier there are others that are taking survival and CQB training. If my beliefs make me less enlightened in your eyes, so be it. If my beliefs can enlighten you, hurrah!

Friends, wake up and wake your friends and families too. Do it now, don't be surprised!

As I like to say from my poker days, "I'm all in."
 
a couple hundred million armed citizens?

So, according to the definitions in this thread. That still leaves 60,000,000 armed citizens, which is an imposing army by any standard. There is nothing more fearsome than people fighting for their lives, wives and children and their homeland.

Closed.

To be very clear: the Tactics and Training forum on TFL exists for the purpose of discussing the tactics and training that might help ordinary people survive criminal encounters. It does not exist to talk about childish fantasies, but for serious discussion of how to handle serious and life-altering events.
