@wolfie To be fair, how many trained military retirees do you think are in the US right now. You have 10 of thousands from the time of desert storm till now. I wouldn't doubt we have more retired than there is currently actively serving. Am im talking mid 20' to 50's years of age.
Yeah I'm not surprised in the slightest that America is number one target and on high alert. It is no secret that the west has always been a target it is not really a question of if but when.. Yes when will the USA be attacked. I would imagine it would most likely be a contamination of the water supply or something along these lines, as this will be the most simply and effective way to eradicate the largest numbers with very little effort. With all the scaremongering and propaganda news we see that alway helps the groups like Isis become more effective. But we must also put Into perspective the numbers of current casualties, they are minuscule in comparison to the that of the accumulated death toll the west is responsible. So one must be very careful who we deem as terrorist, are we ourselves not terrorists in our own right ?? Only difference is we say it is a legal war :lol: crimes against humanity are of plenty that we the west are responsible for we are far from Innocent ourselves... Let's not forget our own wrong doings before condemning others for their similar actions...To use but a few examples here are a few that were deemed "crimes against humanity" and "act of terrorist" Japan (1945) China (1945-46) Korea & China (1950-53) Guatemala (1954, 1960, 1967-69) Indonesia (1958) Cuba (1959-61) Congo (1964) Peru (1965) Laos (1964-70) Vietnam (1961-1973) Cambodia (1969-70) Grenada (1983) Lebanon (1983-84) Libya (1986) El Salvador (1980s) Nicaragua (1980s) Iran (1987) Panama (1989) Iraq (1991-2000) Kuwait (1991) Somalia (1993) Bosnia (1994-95) Sudan (1998) Afghanistan (1998) Pakistan (1998) Yugoslavia (1999) Bulgaria (1999) Macedonia (1999) We the west are responsible for these horrific actions, yet we cast the worst judgement onto those that kill a few hundred lol we are so hycocritical these days, we play the victims very well I must admit. If they attempt to invade our land we of course we should shoot them down like rabid dogs in the street, until then I believe we should first stop the propaganda portraying these Isis are the biggest threat known to man they are NOT they are using guerrilla warfare tactics at best.
Muslim terrorists aren't even a real threat. Right wing extremist Christian terrorists kill 20x more people than Muslims do in the USA
To invade any foreign land and take control is the exact same thing as to fly ones flag. So essentially Grenada back in 83 would be classed as this, Panama back in 89 and of course Iraq back in 2003. These are but a few cases of clear "invasion" there is something like 20 "invasions" in past 20-30 years alone..All of which are infact against the U.N charter article 2 paragraph 4... "Member countries shall refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state"... So your argument is to say that to seize control is ok as long as the flag of the invaders is not flying ? One cannot condone any mindless violence and the brutal killings from any organisation/nation/group of our fellow men/women however we must also stop pretending to be so innocent and noble. The issue at hand is are they a threat, Yes they are a threat as many other organisations are, but we need to put things into perspective they are doing no more than we ourselves have done in the past. For we must tred carefully to condemn someone for the same things we once did is to condemn ourselves.
And there's what, millions of people living in the U.S. ? Even if it's just a million your 10k is just about 1% so yeah 10k really does make up the majority of your population
We are in the age where nations can be destroyed without the need of firing one round. I feel the real threats would be most likely biological and chemical warfare. For guerrilla warfare in itself is of no major threat, but when we have a mass number of those who are willing to die and freely give their lives up in kamikaze style attacks this is where the public panic becomes great.For who knows that man sat next to you on the bus/train cinema may just be carry a IED.like all guerrilla warfare A large weapon that is often overlooked is the psychological aspect of war, if a group is able to cause fear amongst the public they are essentially being effective at what they are created for. If they are able to affect the daily lives of the enemies and effect the morale overall they are achieving crucial goals.Throughtout history these tactics have be implemented and have highly successful for your average joe has the desire to live and doesn't wish to be blown to pieces or permanently disfigured.For they want the enemy to see that they have disregard for not only the lives of their victims but also their own lives are only of little value and will freely sacrifice them for the said cause. So how can you strike fear back when they openly display their own lives are to themselves worth very little....
Yall need to go outside and shoot your guns in the air and light off some explosives and really enjoy Independence Day.
I haven't thought about independence day and a possible Isis attack. I'm not sure what to say to be supportive. So I guess just stay home and read a book, chill with a cup of milo and a pet. If anything does happen it will be sad.
