[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1586295, member: 8853"] Nothing in history approaches what ya'll are envisioning. An actual invading army, assuming our military has been overcome, would roll the hunters of this country. Afterward, then, yes, there would be resistance and it's effectiveness would be enhanced by a population armed as we are. But would it be effective enough to defeat a millions strong Chinese army? Bin Laden operated with a resistance which had been in place for hundreds of years, was armed with many weapons comparable to the Russians and was backed by the U.S. Israel had a well-armed militant citizenry and outside help. They also weren't trying to defend a U.S. sized country. And the Revolutionaries? They [B]were[/B] an army and were supported by one of the major armies/navies of the world. Who's gonna be supporting us if it gets to the point where the Chinese are making assault landings on the West Coast and parachute drops all over. My point is not that we wouldn't defend ourselves and do it well. It is that just because you have a bunch of hunters doesn't mean you have the method to defeat a modern military force. Those hunters' effectiveness would be as militias in the support of our military forces. That would be where the logistics and leadership would come from. This is all moot. This ain't the way it's gonna happen, anyway. [/QUOTE]
