How many friends, neighbors or relatives do you have that you’d want to watch your back or be in your fireteam when it comes time to fight? I’ve already considered this, and the list is short. The list is very, very long. And a whole lot of them say when the SHTF they are coming to my place. I have to tell most of them to bring a tent, because there are so many coming there ain't room enough in the house and shop.

Only 3%-9% fought the Britsh in the American Revolution and got the job done and they were using flintlocks. To be fair, the British weren’t equipped with F-35’s, either. But the point is valid. I also think that your percentages are far more realistic to today than those presented in the thread title. 55% ain’t even close to reality.

Only one country has the numbers it would take to invade this country by force and it isn't Russia. Even with the largest navy in the world, still don't thing they have an effective transport system to get them over here, in a manner that would overrun resistance.

One could probably hypothesis that the f35 is already outdated technology compared to whats probably already on the books. Our stealth and drone technology I'm guessing is pretty scary

lotrs of good stuff this last page. I agree the actual number of fighters would be lower than 55% for sure. And if someone wanted to invade the US, we will need more than 3-5% as the british were fighting in another war at the time and thought we would be a push over. Anyone coming will bring massive amounts of tropps and we will need quite a bit of underground fighting as well as massed in military type forces.
the old duded will play a role for sure, but realize you guy swill be sacrificial lambs for the cause. Immobility is an easy target. But if we are in that situation, we will all be sacrificial lambs....

We will last a while before being overrun. I'll be damned if I quit. I've lived a full life. By the way no one polled me and they never do. LOL

The US will be a formidable threat as long as we keep our 2A rights. Look at Vietnam; all it takes is guerilla style warfare. Someone could bomb our population centers, but those aren't going to take out the folks that will fight tooth and nail for the country

Per a MSN article today:
Only 55 percent of respondents "say they would stay and fight if Russia invaded the US" Sixty-Eight percent of respondents would stay and fight while 25% would not. Fifty seven percent of Independent voters would fight with 36% would leave the country Fifty-two percent of Democrats would leave the country and not fight and only 36% would stay and fight. Pretty sad state of affairs to me. I wonder if anything like this still secretly exists? linkUS Trained Alaskans As ‘Stay-Behind Agents’ In Case Of Russian Invasion

There would still be a lot of work that would be needed besides fighting. Support and logistics requires a lot. Acquiring food, ammunition, medical supplies, resting places, etc..

I don't worry as much about the number of fighters as much as the number of traitors that would be willing and more than happy to give the enemy comfort and assistance. Democrats wouldn't be much help to the cause.
One shot is all it should take.
