surviving an invasion...

What would you do if the US were attacked and the attackers came with the intentions of staying to fight on US soil? Would you flee? Would you fight or surrender? What is your survival plan, considering how vulnerable the US is? How long have you lived without electricity and purified water and a huge grocery store a short drive from you home? What can you do for yourself if there is no structure in order to do everything for you?

anything and everything…

I’d blow them up in the name of God.

I have an extensive survival kit in my truck. Including a newly-completed bugout bag - a Kelty Redwing - good pack, btw. Much to my chagrin, I am “between” edc firearms. Time to make up my mind, I suppose. I could live in the Eastern Woodlands for quite some time, I believe. My kit includes sufficient water purification equipment. Of course, having enough food in a mobile situation is a problem. But in Maine, game is always at hand. I really do wish that there was a huge grocery store near me. But Mainers don’t consider that a particular hardship.

But the likelihood is that I would join some form of organised resistance. I don’t think the actual services would take me. I’m too old.

The details of my overall survival plan, I won’t discuss, for reasons that might be obvious. What’s yours, Athena?

I’d be going to work everyday and taking strolls to the beach gazing at the stars, knowing that our Air Force will cripple any threat ever posed.

The US population would fold like a house of cards and most people would surrender much like the French did with the Nazis.

In many ways I agree, but I believe still many would survive fairly unscathed. Many would fight at least in the beginning. The economy would most likely fold, and that is what would drive such a place mad. Of the few left, many would create an underground resistance.

I believe I could survive for a good while without using money for survivial.

The woods in the southeast would be like the caves in Afghanistan. There are over 30 firearms in just my house. I can’t begin to imagine how many there are in the whole neighborhood. I could probably arm a small pack of fighters and just kill everything that didn’t look American.

I live in the south east and there’s nothing to eat. You cannot live off the land.

Look at the post 911 US. Soon after in NYC the people had a forgetting ceremony, which was some kind of Jewish thing, for healing. This was much different than the Pearl Harbor generation who were seeing blood and hating Japanese for decades after. Then, the popular culture began promoting Islam as a religion of peace, which it’s not, and that reminded me of how the coward sucks up to the bully. They’ll pretend he’s not a bully to fool themselves and impress him. Then, the entire nation denies that it’s in a war with Islam, and blames its own government for the situation. Theories spring up everywhere, undoubtedly created by the enemy, that indeed the government was behind 911, and that there’s no such thing as terrorists, again millions side with the enemy. The Democrats pretend that the war is ridiculous and a waste of money, just to gain advantage, thus helping the enemy, and so on.

The average American enjoys lying to themselves about reality, avoiding hardship, and gaining cheap pointless victories. To achieve all of these things they’re cave immediately. Jews have many of the above qualities and that’s why they cooperated so well during the holocaust.

Why not just become an illegal immigrant in another country somehow? Right away? To the best country you could find?

I tend to believe in preventative medicine.
That’s why certain ‘genious’ persons had moved out of germany into a better country before/as the Nazis rose in power. Politics are slow, and generally it takes them a long time to really mobilize… many years.

So if Islam is the enemy, America is going to have to do some ethnic cleansing, and attack parts of the UK, too… You wanna try to attack around 30% of the world’s population, or say they’re all “the enemy”? Or not?

You can survive off the meat of the terrorists. Also, where in the southeast?

Except four miscellaneous groups of hijackers flying around for well over an hour without the slightest interference from the military.

Yeah, your taxes keep you secure…

The folks in my part of the country are probably better armed and more tenacious than any likely invader. And let’s be realistic for one moment- what nation out there could launch a successful amphibious or airborne landing with enough force to so much as inconvenience the US?

China, Russia, and uh…I dunno.
What part of the country are you in?

After reading a few more responses, I have had some further thoughts. Grand, when that happens.

I think you do have to weigh the pros and cons.

For instance, it might depend on who invades. If it’s the Chinese, I might co-operate. This position is based on the projected number of chinese restaurants if the Chinese take over. If at least most of them offer take-out - I’m with them.

Also, Canada is, for many of us, an option. What with global warming and all, Canada might soon have a livable climate - even for those who have been living in places that God actually intended for humans to live.

Also, I must disagree with Mr Predictable (hey, dude, by the way). The woods of southeastern part of the US is Eden revisited. It has been estimated that each square mile of southeastern woodland contains three hundred thousand gallons on beer (mostly from still-full cans that have fallen off ATV’s), four thousand pounds of beef jerky (similarly left behind) and, of course, enough major appliances to supply a citizen army with metal and wiring for at least several years.

It’s also been estimated that the average southern trailer park contains more arms and munitions than all but three countries.

Living off the land is not much of an issue for most southern males - the average fat reserve of these men, counting only from the belt to the chest (usually some five feet) should sustain them (again, this is just an average) for three to five years. And the amount of refined gasoline that can be recovered from the yards, carpets and tool sheds in this area exceeds the annual output of Venezuela.

Logistics would be a very small problem - each southern white male is born with the knowledge - when things go wrong, head to Wal-Mart. It’s a little-known fact that each Wal-Mart store is designed to withstand a nuclear blast - or a full frontal assault by angry liberals, whichever occurs first. People live in their parking lots now. It wouldn’t take much to transform them into Rural Control Centers. And the Chinese wouldn’t even attack them - they’d be destroying their own stuff.

Remember - White American Southerners have only lost one war.

The south east will defintely be the first to fight. And you can live off the land. Most folks will band together in one way or another. Miss, folks have more ammo then most countries have for their armies. Toss in the other southern states plus Texas New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon and Washington, there is more than enough ammo and guns to eliminate the entire Chinese army, if they threw in Japan there might be some problems. :laughing:

Average two guns per every third or fourth household ,LOL Ok 3 guns. There are enough weapons. Short of nuking us or bio weapons. Any invading country would have a real problem with just the civilians. Sure lots of us would die. But thats war.

We are surrounded by swamp and woods, we can easily melt into it. there are enough cattle and other livestock plus game to keep everyone fed. Within 50 square miles the critturs outnumber the humans. One human per fifty kept animals I would say, give or take. Plenty of wild greens and game to eat too. Darn near everyone has huge vegie gardens out here.

Faust is right about the gas. Heck we have 6 (4 of which are decoration :laughing: ) vehicles and none of their tanks or oil pans are dry.

I might die but, I won’t go quietly :smiley:

You don’t have to attack an enemy to identify one. Also, a tactic in a fight is the savagely beat one member of an attacking group quickly and take him out. That gives the rest of the group pause.

Pretending that your enemy is your friend, or really a sweet bunch, and it’s you who’re wrong is cowardly and dangerous.

I’m in the New Jersey area currently.

Other than some small animals there’s no vegetation to eat at all.
