Americans Will Not Fight for America

[LimaPanther]

Read this and cannot believe, that from the small pole taken, that only a little over half would stand and fight if America was attacked. Of course, wonder where they would go. I wasn't looking at the parties these individuals belonged but the percentages. I hope they were not from rural area.

More Republicans than Democrats say they'd stay and fight if U.S. were attacked like Ukraine

I think that's an over-estimate of how many would actually fight.

Notwithstanding the propaganda coming out of Ukraine right now, few of them are actually "fighting." Of the ones who stayed, many if not most are laying low while others fight on their behalf. I think it would be the same thing here.

What was it like 3% of the people who would ultimately become Americans actually fought the British during the American Revolution? I haven't fact-checked that figure but my sense is that it's accurate.

Americans don't want to fight for America anymore. The American ideal has largely been subsumed by race-based tribalism and deconstructionism. Not only would a lot of Americans not fight for America, I think a non-insignificant number would actively assist the other side.

I wonder how many gun owners, that said they wanted to protect their families, would give them up in this situation. Now I know what all the bug-out bags are for.

Where do I sign up? Is the Tun Tavern recruiting station still open?

Given the number of socialist and anarchist groups we’ve had to deal with, that’s not a view that can be easily dismissed.

Of course, the thing is that we won’t know until some foreign power starts dropping steel on (indiscriminate) targets and/or puts boots on our soil. Perhaps being targeted by Ming the Merciless along with everyone else would focus their energy against the enemy.

Or perhaps they’d be skillfully recruited as sympathizers…dunno.

God damn, sad state of affairs. Hell, if you look at covid debacle for past 2 years, I mean, 2 weeks to slow the curve....

Any Karen that called cops of folks not wearing masks, any asshole that trusted the state and federal governments, any cop that abided by the state/municipality instead of their oaths, anyone that demanded a vaccine passport to shop or eat, anyone that shamed anyone else for choosing to not get jabbed, "my body, my choice" good for vaginas/abortions, not good for government mandated medical tyranny....

These cunts will be the collaborators, they will be the extra mouths to feed without ponying up to fight, he'll, even assist.

These "fellow Americans" are in fact, the enemy also. My mind cannot be changed at this point.

 

[Grunt]

There will be way more spies and collaborators than there will be patriots….

 

[Muppet]

Sadly, you're right.

 

[Muppet]

You know what happened to spies and Tories during the revolution, right?

As a regular citizen with no combat or military experience I have to say that the prospect of fighting off an invasion like Ukraine is terrifying to think of. I don’t know if I would pick up arms due to the fact I think I would be a middling Infantryman but I would try someway to help beat back the invaders. Maybe by spying on them or some other way.

Our culture has been degraded over time. I'm not surprised. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but our institutions have been invaded and poisoned by Communists from Russia and China very early on. We're finally seeing the government go after Chinese plants...but you know what would "deter" some of this? Maybe publicly hanging spies.

You don't have to "fight". Asymmetrical warfare will be a thing. Logistical issues, supply, food, shelter for those fighting for righteousness.

Hell, I'm mid 40s, I'm not a 180 pound Paratrooper anymore, bad knees, back from the service and 22 years of being a paramedic.

I could offer assistance as a medic/aid station to get those back on the line.

Lots of things to do. Commo, info....

Evey hear of the Long Island spy ring during the American revolution?

Most Americans are fat and out of shape and weak anyway.

160 lb Infantryman. That’s the difference between the 7th Infantry Division (Light) and the 82nd Airborne…..

Lol.

My wife use to kid me and tell me that her first husband was a 200lb, 6ft Marine. Her 2d husband was an Army guy falling apart. I was an 0311 Recon Marine and was 6ft, 200lbs. Went over to the Army and stayed in shape. But hate to tell you guys, when you get older, the fluid in your spine disappears and you shrink. I went from 6ft to 5'10". 200 to 180. Also all that jumping and humping allows Arthur to move in and he plays hell with the body.

 

[LimaPanther]

Watch your mouth doc. She put up with me for 57 years before she passed.

Yeah life is good here.
