I enjoyed watching both Red Dawn films (including remake one). My question is if Red Dawn really happened suddenly in your lives ( enemies from another country invading your country ) what would you do in such a situation ?

 

Fight to the death

 

 

I would fight too but if you did you don't stand very good chances. You're better off fleeing and joining a stronger force and regrouping like the Poles did when the Russians AND Germans invaded Poland in September 1939. We were the only country to resist, and survive for 2 months without any weapons aid whatsoever under heavy bombardment and full assault.



20,000 fled to France, Hungary, Iran and Palestine and regrouped in England.

 

Get killed hardcore because there are next to no civillian guns in Australia.





I'd try to leave occupied areas first. If that fails, join some sort of guerilla/resistance chapter. Rinse and repeat until captured or killed, I guess.

 

Get my guns, supplies, and family together then find a good place to hide out. Then I would spend my days finding more supplies and getting in touch with people I can trust. Wouldn't surrender, join enemies, and would only fight for my family and I.

 

This is comming from an 'anti-gun' guy obviously... They think that guns are the only dangerous thing availible. You could easily tak out 50+ guys without the use of a gun. I am not expanding on that....use your imagination, but guns certainly isn't the only way or even the easiest way to kill the masses.

 

There sure are plenty of ways to die, but you can't expect to mount a serious revolution without access to even shitty guns.



-Switzerland will never, ever get invaded because most households have a gun and military training.

-Australia is a land of wide open spaces, an army of like 30,000 including admin staff, and huge mineral resource wealth, and no civilian weaponry

-The polish suffered when they tried to evict the germans because they didn't receive as many guns as they expected

-Libyans and egyptians were shipped crates and crates of guns to ensure that their revolution was successful



This might be a different story in tokyo or ho chi minh, but firepower is definitely required if you want to repel an invading army in an expansive place such as australia.

 

LOL! How times have changed.





Exacty. That with a false belief that the Russians were on their way to help (after Stalin switched sides). The British were afraid of Russia and were denied air support, and the Russians airdropped few (emphasis on few) tainted expired food packets (which was essentially poison). When the Russian foot soldiers finally came, they purposefully stopped short of the Vistula River (river which divides Warsaw in half), and set up camp knowing that Hitler issued TOTAL annihilation of all Poles and premise in sight. They purposefully waited for the Germans to finish them off (consisting of civilians, men, women and children) with heavy bombardment and flamethrowers in order to defeat the Poles as well.

Germans shot at Poles from the West. Russians shot us from the East. The underground resistance were trapped mice but they used filthy underground sewage systems to maneuver. Then they pissed off the Germans because they repaired and reused German Panzer tanks:









Oh this pissed off good old Hitler big time . We would run the Germans over actually. Disgusting and heartless but they were first and it was necessary at the time.



Formally betrayed by England, France, and Britain, with nowhere to run, they lifted up their empty arms and many of them were later condemned, tortured, brutally executed in the Russian forests in order to dissolve Polish intelligence and strengthen the belief in communism.



I should know, my cousins were there, and survived! Journalists claimed that Warsaw 1944 was fiercer than Stalingrad.



I like how you know, take interest, and respect history. That qualifies for number one in my book.
