kallend 2,150 #13 October 23, 2009 QuoteIt depends on the circumstances in which we were invaded. The most sensible answer so far. If the invaders were the type of people that would torture family members to death or pack whole villages in a church and set fire to it as reprisals for resistance action, I suspect many of the gung-ho types here would become couch potatoes. Despite such atrocities by the Nazis, there were effective resistance movements in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Denmark, France, etc., but nothing like the 83% who claim they would in this poll....

warpedskydiver 0 #14 October 23, 2009 Some of these people responding have no idea what others would do. I suggest that if it were done to restore our constitution by removing a government that had subverted our rule by the people, it would be welcomed by many. If it were done to subjugate us into servitude or resulted in concentration camps there would be tens of millions who would fight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Kallend but I think you've misunderstood me. I do agree that such atrocities could very much effect the population's will to fight. Likely I would avoid any actions that would put my families lives on the line. However, I would probably be the first to fight if it was only my life I was risking and the justification for resistance was there.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds like the justification being used by every last one of the right wing/racist nutjob groups currently running around the woods in a few states getting stiffies from wanting to take down THIS government.

Suppose it was done just to prevent us from launching a nuclear first strike, and the invaders promised to set up free elections real soon? No concentration camps or slavery, just removal of the WMD threat and then a return to free elections (under their supervision, of course.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birdshit 0 #20 October 23, 2009 Quote To OP: If someone whose moniker is "birdshit" calls you a troll... I told my dad I went skydiving and he told me "Son, you know only fools and birdshit fall from the sky" So? Is wmw999 so much cooler? Edit to add: cliffwhite is famous in some circles for his troll-like characteristics. I got banned for a few days for a PA against him. Every thing he posts is about American soldiers being murderers and rapists, or how 9/11 was really the CIA and Bin Laden is innocent and we have no valid reason for being in Afghanistan, and so on and so forth. So I call a spade a spade, sue me. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cliffwhite 0 #25 October 27, 2009 Quote geesh. So WTF am I doing in Afghanistan? I don't know what you are doing. I do know that the American military effort is to ensure the security of the proposed pipeline from the Northern Casapian area through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Gulf . Oh! Just yesterday at least 16 more American kids died there for that cause. I wonder how many were seriously wounded? Blues, liff2muchTruth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
