Will American Soil ever be Invaded?

[Mr2Spyder2828]

Do you think that American Soil will ever be invaded by a standing army?
Much like the movie " Red Dawn " where Rusia invades the U.S. and takes control of large parts of it.

I think that if we let our army get to weak that there is a possibility of invasion but unless tactical nukes were used to destroy army bases and storages of weapons, and to make our citizens sick, that there would be no way that an invading army could get verry far into our country. There are too many people with guns that would stand up to them and fight them back.

A standing Army I doubt. At least at this point. Pearl Harbor is the closest invasion we've had. The only way I see it plausible for an inland invasion would be, as you said, if our was to get too weak.

Even if we did get invaded, theres like 4 guns in this counrty for every person, just think of the rednecks from the midwest and all the innercity people with guns. It would take more than an army to invade us.

we were invaded by the japaness during the 2nd world war it was the armys fault and wasn't to talked about bits and pieces are coming out now. My grandfather was up there and one of the handful of people who stopped them from getting to the mainland. *this happened in alaskas chain of islands but still US soil
But if it happens in my life i doubt it i hope it never will. I think we would have a civil war over a big debated topic eg abortion before we had a nother country come in.
If that happened i'd sure as hell grab my guns and see how many I can take out.

Yeah, And I'd be one of them. With my .243 remington model 700, just waiting..

This question borders on silly. The logistics needed to carry out an invasion of third most populous country in the world is overwhelming when you consider there are no bases of operation within thousands of miles that can reach the US outside of Canada and Mexico. Neither Canada or Mexico have the populations to support a standing army to invade a country this size.

Ya know, sometimes I wonder about some of the people who post on here....

Anyways, that question can't be answered with a "yes" "no" answer because in truth, no one can say for sure. Maybe yes, maybe no. The United States is by no means COMPLETELY immune to any invasion, but I wouldn't say we are without protection against many attempts, should they even take place.

[KustmAce]

I have thought about this before too.

First of all, like Hyatus said, practically the entire population of the US is an army in itself. Almost everyone has a gun, and if not a gun, they can get ahold of some kind of weapon.

Secondly, Are detection equipment is so advanced, that we would easily detect the huge force needed to invade before they even left their country.

Thirdly, once they were detected, our powerful arsenal would quite possibly eliminate any threat before they could even see our shores.

And finally, no country, no matter how much they hate us, would be stupid enough to attack a country as massive, populated, advanced and popular as the United States. And when i say popular, i mean we would have so many allies against an invasion, it would be hopeless for the invaders.

Unless of course they nuked us first, then ill bet theyd get us...maybe

The Russians have bases very close.

Have you military experience?

Yes, near Alaska is what I am refering to.

in case u didnt notice our country was invaded on o i think the date was 7-11-01

[bearded clams]

if it were ever to happen i would feel very very sorry for whatever troops they sent here.

Those bases are not equipped to support an invasion of the United States. They do not have the means to transport or supply them. This is straight from one of my Russian colleges who was stationed at Anadyr.

Aside from that fact, the Rissian military does not have the manpower to sustain an invasion of a country nearly twice their population.

The only way I can see an invasion as of now would be like armies of several nations coming together and doing soemthing like Pearl HArbor again were they just have a massive surprise attack and I mean massive.
