Only a few hundred, perhaps as many as a thousand, resisted in the Warsaw ghetto.<<<<<
The choice was “die now or die later” of course they were
not Americans and they were not armed sufficiently to succsessfully resist! We have that very history to warn us!The 2nd amendment may yet prove to be essential!
Quite true.
However, fairly obviously the armament needed to "successfully resist" the Wehrmacht was that of the American or Red Army. The entire Polish Army lasted only a few days.
My point is that if the inhabitants of the ghetto had been Americans armed to the teeth they could not possibly have "resisted successully." They could have killed a lot more Germans, which is not to be sneezed at, but they would still not have won.
Which is an excellent argument for not allowing your country to get into a situation where the only variable is how many of the enemy you can take with you.
