Didn't the Americans fail against the Vit cong?

Both times the enemy was being funded trained and supplied by the other superpower.

Gurrilla war in a forigen country is very difficult.

Who says Russia wouldn't just crush Britain from the other side of the channel?

unless the country has been constantly battered for years and in a state like iraq...i just couldnt see an invasion.

I would not fight for the UK, i would go to australia and relax with a beer and a bbq away from any wars.

I'd do the only intelligent thing that can be done in ANY fight and get the hell away from it. Canada preferably.

wouldn't take years.

Maybe 1 to destroy every factory, hospital, runway, port, Military base, most of the major cities.

i'd sign up if we were getting invaded.....i like the thought of being hidden with a sniper rifle and just picking em off(not very realistic as they would probably just cheat and use a tank to blow me and my camping spot up). yes i play comp games

i wouldnt really sign up to invade any country unless it was extreme circumstances like hitler taking over the world.

couldnt see it happening that quick tbh....even 2 years would seem pushing it.

they would have to support their troops in a another country thats willing to take them for a year and we would have home advantage ....all defenses set up.

cant see it myself but oh well.

I'd fight. And I'd win.

an easy answer would be sure kill the terrorists but a more honest answer would be how i felt at the time and that is NO.
i didnt feel it had anything to do with us ...felt it was a stupid move on our part and especially opening the floodgates to refugees too.

its just asking for trouble.

Zefan · 18 Aug 2008 at 03:16

So you don't think removing an extremist, oppressive government from power, building proper infrastructure/securing schools for all children and ridding the country of its dependance on farming opium is a just cause?

they could just finance their neighbouring country pakistan to do the fighting for them.
