Red Dawn scenario

[wastedyears]

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?

“Why else would anyone try to take on the most powerful military might on earth?”

Because we are the largest, richest TARGET on the planet. By any standard you care to measure by.

‘Why do you rob banks, Mr Sutton’

Answer: ‘Because thats where the money is...’

[Badeye]

She’s frightened, or just happy to see us?

[Badeye]

“Yeah! And what’s with killing off Gerald McRaney?”

Hell, his character was supposed to be a Vietnam Vet of some kind...yet he absolutely refused to carry a weapon, even after half the police force was executed by the third episode.

I found it ironic he died ‘after’ waking the hell up to the situation as it is.

Our country is being invaded right now ...

That’s for sure. Every day the State Department allows more and more muslims to enter as “refugees”

They do not come with a sword but with the ideology of the sword. Once they get here and build up their numbers (they proliferate) we shall see the chaos ...

LOL

I thought there were only 4 Monkees.

Mickey being the silly one.

The TV show Jericho would be a better question. Anybody watch this grat show?

Yep, the past three episodes have been exceptional... but I'm a bit annoyed that they killed off Gerald McRaney's character.

[unspun]

I think it may be more likely that one day we have to re-up "the Declaration of Independence scenario."

[PLMerite]

There was a movie called “Invasion USA” (NOT the one with Chuck Norris) in black and white from back in the 1950s. That might have been it. It’s on DVD.

He was in the Army before joining the band. Hence the title.

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.

There's a glimpse or two of reality there, though. Power struggles over the crops and the salt mine - all toned down for prime-time television. Reality would be far uglier, but going "too real" would drive away half of the viewers. People want to believe that a Mayberry-like existence could continue under such circumstances.

I do give them points for paying attention to detail. Note that only the older cars and trucks will run (there have been goof-ups on that issue, though). Also, power and communications were actually disrupted by the not-very-distant nuclear explosion. Compare that with 24, which had no such difficulties. Why, even the automobile traffic was normal, despite a mushroom cloud towering nearby. The last fifteen minutes of the film Miracle Mile would be a lot closer to the way people would really react, IMO.

I’m not going to say I was thinking that but I did think it was more than fifteen years late.

You'll know when the Nigerian/Turkish/Pakistani UN troops have landed on American shores when we find their abandoned vehicles and discarded uniforms on the side of the road and we suddenly have a noticeable increase in cab drivers, community college students, Quickie-Mart workers, and SF Bay Area dot.com startups.

Laughed so hard it started a coughing fit!

[Deguello]

I think the key theme of the movie was Patriotism.

[higgmeister]

John has a long mustache.
I repeat; John has a long mustache.

"Who is John Galt?"

"Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!"

"China Clipper calling Alameda"

"Einstein was probably one of them"

[Vision]

Technically, I don't know if it would be a realistic scenario

WWIII starts and the only response America has is a couple of hueys and high schoolers with hunting rifles held up in the mountains?

[Vision]

You forgot the best one.

One likely scenario:

Three days after Lt. Colonel Khomo Ngaba-Burundi of the Nigerian 7th King's Motorized Fusilier Regiment attached to the UN Special Command on American Arms Confiscation (UN-SCAAC) landed with his troops in New York City, he abandoned his forces in a Frankfort KY Costco parking garage and and started a new life as 'Trevor Nagaba', REALTOR®-licensed listing agent with Century 21® affiliate Treyburn Realty, serving the Western North Carolina Winston/Salem area and surrounding communities.
