Well I just re-watched a old high-school favorite - Red Dawn. (Thanks Netflix)
So the question to you my beloved Zilvian cohorts, would you defend your home?
If we were invaded by Canadians, Chinese, Russians, Germans, Mexicans, Aliens that look like people and talk weird but totally coming in peace, Communists, Nazis, Iranians, Irish... whatever -
Would you fight and oppose them? How bad would it have to get before you started planning roadside ambushes and bombings?
I always find it interesting how arguably one of the most obviously evil regims ever (Nazi's) went on almost completely unopposed by Western Europe (Belgium, France, Denmark ect) but was fought tooth and nail by other countries who had always been treated poorly - most notably Yugoslavia.
While the French resistance consisted of a dozen Parisians listing to Allied Radio in a basement, Tito raised nearly a million men from various countries to lead the Balkens partisan movement.
So beyond would you participate - how much do you think the American public would participate?
