Don't know how many people have seen this movie, but what are your thoughts on something like it happening? If so, who would be involved? Also, how easy or hard would it be to fight them back, taking into consideration their manpower?
And 1984 was only a book.
Great
Hundred sixty-two comments and counting, keep ‘em coming.

The final straw with the Russian and Cuban invaders:
They put "Baby" in a corner.
The USA is a pretty big place. Kind of difficult to take it over and maintain authority across the fruited plain.
Great movie, pretty much impossible now.
Contrast Red Dawn w/today’s “reality” — our troops in war zones being forced to carry unloaded weapons...???

Same here. Its a classic, with a helluva cast.
“The TV show Jericho would be a better question.
Anybody watch this grat show?”
We do at my house. I refer to it as ‘this is how liberals would try to survive’....(chuckle)
It took how many dead citizens before everybody picked up guns?
Yeah! And what's with killing off Gerald McRaney?
“They are not very good marksman ‘cept for one guy and the other in the tank.
If you can see your target, you should be able to hit it.”
Yep.
‘Is the chair against the wall??’
Yes.

“I love the premise but it still bugs me that the world of Jericho is still so gentle - the way they’ve handled themselves, everyone but Robert Hawkins is too stupid to deserve to live.”
And he isn’t the brightest light I’ve ever seen either. Even his ill informed wife knew to shut the laptop off....
“Next thing you know, he’s dead and having to make out with Demi Moore through Whoopie Goldberg.”
Yep, and then he ended up a bouncer moving town to town....
I’ve always been amused by those who brag about stockpiling gold and generators for when civilization breaks down. For when that happens, every lunatic from miles around will beat down the door of anybody stupid enough to turn on a generator and light up his house. And just try paying for a loaf of bread with a bar of gold. You might as well wear a T-shirt that says on the back “Follow me home and rob me.”
Let’s face it, in such a situation, best option is to lie low and pretend you are as dirt-poor as everybody else.
Depends on what you use the generator for, and you’d be better off stockpiling salt than gold, just for bartering.
All great points.
Amatures talk about tactics, professionals talk about logistics.
