Topic: If your country was successfully attacked Posted: 10-Mar-2005 at 14:20 |
Depends on being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I would leave my judgement up to the moment.

Unfortunately, my real answer is not present: I would leave the country, and fight the invaders just with words, and not violence.
Lacking that, I have chosen the nearest thing, i.e. "complain to the U.N."

I won't be a traitor (like Mullahs), so I will help the invaders!

Suppose it all depends who the invaders were.

Become a freedom fighter(terrorist)?
Won't you get into deep trouble back home for making staements like that?
Freedom fighters = terrorists?
Isn't fighting for freedom what the US army set out to do in the Iraq? You don't need an Ma in Applied Logic to work out what you are saying here.
Any men in a big black car outside your house yet?
They will be soon!

I'd definitely flee to the Blue Ridge Mountains to the West of Washington D.C. and become the leader of a partisan guerrilla band, killing enemy soldiers and domestic traitors.

First, I will complain with the UN. Then I'll use my allies to help me repell the army.

It depends, what country is invading and what are they planning to do once they take power?
And who would I personally benefit more from?
Is say the Unified Islamic Front or a resurgest Soviet Union of Germany was invading I wouild become a militia leader, Ive always wanted to become a militia leader, even if no one invaded....
Then once the foreigners are gone I can claim my stake of whats left.
If on the other hand the invaders are people I dont have a problem with (adbacned aliens, culturayll laid back peoples etc) and they gain a reasonable chance of suceeding in their mission (50% or more) then I join up with them for a high paying job as liason for the locales and get some sweet promotions.

Some American wrote in another thread that the Americans have no concept of Satire!
No, I didn't vote in this poll because the premise is too unclear.
As Paul said, it all depends who is invading what.
My country ( no, I'm not from Ethiopia) was invaded successfully about 60 years ago, and a good thing it was too. Like most of my fellow country men I probably would have stood on the streets welcoming the invaders in the hope they would throw down some chewing gum or cigarettes from their tanks.
So unless you specify your question, I can't answer.
I certainly would not defend my country in all cases and at all costs.
But I'm glad you gave an outlet to all this "Militia in the mountains of Montana" fantasies, Hollywood has a lot to answer for.
Let's face, you all haven't got a clue, what you would do in an exceptional situation like that.
What circumstances in WW2 made some French collaborators, some passive onlookers and some resistance fighters?
So until the Canadians cross the border, you won't know and all this "I will become a Militia man" is just empty posturing.
Go back and play "Freedom Fighters" on your PC's, that's far more realistic.

I look at the allied forces in world war 2 as liberators not "attackers". The Nazis would be the oppressive "attackers". I hope the French see it that way too!

Join La Guerrilla and strike back.
We have a lot of Guerrilla Experience ( Independence Wr, Maximilian Empire, Mexican Revolution, Cristero War ). Plus, after the vietnamese, some of the best guerrilla warfare leaders were born in America as Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, Cesar Sandino, Fidel Castro, El Che Guevara.

I agree with you Seko. The Allies were liberators, not invaders. With out the allies on Europes side Nazi Germany might have occupy the world by now.

Wrong choice, Pal
He was military defeated in less than 2 weeks.
Salinas de Gortari administration did not proceed to fully anihilate the EZLN because the international repercutions.
Plus, he has no any moral leverage after stating in public his support to ETA.
