thats very true flyinroo pearl harbor happened and we thought back then it couldn't so what could stop a third world power as strong as what russia was to unite back then with another country and launch a offensive rush on colorado. the only thing i had against the original was that it happened in setting plot wise so close to fort carson which back then was home to the 4th id, and a partial group of special forces with also washington close by which houses the 2nd ID, 25th ID, 75th Rangers and special forces groups there and all those marine and navy bases in cali you think a strong offensive couldnt have been launched back to attack the russians and end the battle in 10 days tops?

Mythos the biggest film for us while I was in the service was ALIENS becuase I was in the Marines and the speech Gunny gives after they come out of stasis "All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!"  that just resonated with us. We were in Okinawa when we saw the film and just sounded like our own Staff Sergeant

Anyway never saw it but will probably see this one.

And don't mind jedi he always feels threatened by anything remotely pro-military or pro-America. He's one of those

I'm not talking about just the invaders I'm talking about a bunch of kids taking them on without any experience whatsoever.  At least in this one they cover it with Hemsworth being a Marine.  And we haven't seen the movie yet so we don't even know aside from the device how they actually did it.

well alot of wars have been won with local farmers rising up against oppressors with no military or fighting experience throughout history but you make a somewhat valid point in tactics wise MRJAW.

LMAO Wise I hear you on that one! My bros and dad where all marines me being the exception going in to the army rangers (wanted to establish my own legacy and do something different). but i can always remember my dad going Hoorah! everytime that line came up when he watched aliens. You brought back some good memories of my dad for me on that one man thanks! I appreciate that.

and with that said wise i want send a shout out to all those logistics companies that help arm the locals! are very own lovely cia and special shout out my man dont tell em i'm broke NIC CAGE lol. sorry couldn't resist doing that

Guerilla warfare is often conducted by non-military personnel also. Although in modern times they usually get outside help with logistics and weapons but has not always been the case and even today it isn't always the case.

Mythos I hear you on wanting to do your own thing. How your Dad take it? I guess I'd be proud of my son for volunteering but still slightly disappointed if it wasn't the Marines.

Yeahk, Mythos, that was back then. Not with the weapon power that the armies around the world have now. That's why I laugh when people justify the 2nd Amendment by saying they want weapons to fight the governmnet if the government turns on them. Yeah, good look with that.  Not that I want the 2nd Amendment taken away but that's a silly reason to defend it.

i told him i joined dad and he said great boy where they sending you pendleton, paris island? and i said benning... he looked at me all weird and said benning? is that base new? i replied nope its in georgia. he opened his eyes wide as can be and screamed you joined the army!!! then he said thats good son. but everytime i would come home he had a wall dedicated to all our military accomplisments and pics and would go you say that over there whats wrong with my wall? you! your the only one that doesn't look like the other! and i'd proceed to laugh it was always funny cause to hear him say that each time i came home on leave.

nah i think where safe MRJAW just on the sheer fact we got so many street gangs it would be retarded to invade could you imagine a group of north koreans trying to patrol the streets of compton during a invasion? wait i think they should have put that in this movie and no, no ,no battle LA doesnt count as a example of a invasion MRJAW lol
