Those 5 bases only service enough subs to make Washington something like the 3rd largest nuclear power if it was independent.

Any invading enemy would also have to contend with the fact that every state and the District of Columbia has its own Army and Air National Guard units to defend our individual jurisdictions. So, you have (1) the active duty military, (2) the Reserves, (3) the National Guard, (4) the federal agencies- Homeland Security/FBI/ATF/DEA/etc., (5) state troopers/county police and local law enforcement (MPDC/NYPD/LAPD/etc.), and (6) the heavily armed citizens of the U.S. There might not be another more heavily armed and diversely defended country on the planet.
@@cumbob everyone as in other countries having a “fuckton of missiles”? Missiles is a pretty generic term, very few countries has “missiles” capable of reaching US soil and in the event a ICBM that is capable of reaching US was launched, the US navy has ships with missiles with the sole purpose of knocking ICBMs out of the sky. Meaning that ICBM wouldn’t ever reach US soil. Regardless all of this is null as I can’t think of a single country including the US that would use any kind of nuclear icbm. Nuclear weapons in current day are used as a show of force/deterrent aka an agreement with any other country that if you launch, we launch and then no one wins. If a war broke out against US and any other super power we’d see a lot of weapons being used but none of them would attempt to use nuclear weapons again.
Chuck Norris is our secret weapon. Even if russian soldiers are marching into the white house itself, we'll just airdrop chuck and he'll singlehandedly push the russians back into the ocean.
First, yes China has a larger military force, however most have never actually been in combat. Also America not only has our military but we have armed civilians who would back up our military in any attack on our country.
Even if you were somehow able to defeat the United States military, you still have to deal with the average psychopath that’s armed heavily, sitting in every living room and every basement. You’d never get it done. Hell, my grandmother would probably take out 25 people on her own.j
There are so many private guns in the United States that it would be nearly impossible to take even if the us military didnt exsist at all. The us can outwardly project power on a different level then any other country. That power gets multiplied 100x if your talking about defending the homeland. If the us is capable of absolutely wrecking pretty much any country with its 1 million man standing army imagine what it could do with its 35 million trained, experienced and armed veterans that are at home.
@@maryjoygelizon4268, no, they aren't being hyperbolic, whatsoever. The American people have a larger armament than many country's militaries do. If we're talking firearms, the American people have more firearms than our own military; who has more than nearly all world militaries combined. So, yeah, phucking with the U.S. on our own soil is a suicide mission. And, to top it off, nearly 1 out 10 people are trained military, with 1 out of 3 having some form of tactical training.
393 million firearms in civilian hands and billions of rounds of ammunition along with huge numbers of ex military. Yes the military is massive and so is the will and knowledge of the population. Japan realized that in World War 2.
@@sweiland75 No they didn't, but they did almost single handedly push back the Japanese, The Chinese played an important role in taking up resources for there occupation. And this comment was on the Japanese view of the war specifically not the whole of ww2
Let's put it this way: The last nation to invade the USA was Japan, and we dropped small suns on two of their cities, then occupied them, deconstructed their government and remade it in our image. Now, in the modern day, there is no way such a war would happen. Not only could the US just decimate any nation to attack it, but the treaty obligations of NATO would kick in, and basically half the planet would attack the potential invaders' homeland while their ships were desperately trying to make landfall in the USA. This is also discounting the fact that the US has enough nuclear weapons to back down any other nuclear power, never mind a non-nuclear threat, which would face total obliteration with no chance of retaliating. Whether for good or bad, human warmaking capabilities have developed to the point where great powers, and the sole superpower, no longer have the option of large ground or sea-based invasions of each other (ie. WWII couldn't happen again today). Of course, the positive side of this is that large wars of attrition aren't killing millions, but the negative is that a large-scale war could result in the destruction of the planet.
Japan didn't invade the US... They attacked U.S Soil (via Midway/Pearl Harbor) but in no way did they ever actually reach or set up a base on US soil. That's like saying if I threw a fire cracker in your front yard, that I "invaded your home" it is not the same.
@@southfieldtrill9690 Yes, but any nation to invade the US would face an immediate counter-invasion, largely to disrupt their supply lines and cripple their ability to build additional munitions and vehicles to sustain their invasion (eg. when Allies and the Axis bombed each others' factories to disrupt their war machine). We could do this using what is now the forward-deployed carrier fleets in the Pacific and our nuclear submarines. If the invader loses the ability to supply their troops and replace any lost vehicles, it becomes a war of attrition that they can't easily win without a decisive action (which they can't get against the US).
1-East and West Canada are connected by a single road. Blow the bridges and good luck moving anything on lateral lines. The rail connections are almost as vulnerable. 2-Americans don't have much trouble killing each other. Outsiders would be more than fair game.
The world has seen when Americans get attacked as well, twice. They may kill each other in the streets every day, but when they have a common enemy, they come together like most countries of that diversity would not. Americans are very friendly for the majority, best not to piss them off.
I remember my 7th grade social studies teacher telling us how "wonderful" the crusades were for Europe...because it gave the men-at-arms someone else to kill other then themselves!
@@ΒΞΔΝ You mean to say that if the Yanks have managed to piss off every nation on this planet to such an extent that everyone would put aside their animosities and religious differences that they have had for thousands of years to concentrate on eliminating the US, you really think that the rest of the world won't be able to do it? It would be the best thing to ever happen to the planet, unite in a common cause to get rid of a global bully.
Until they wear you down by using swarming drones on your infrastructure and contagions as a means of wiping you guys out through your laughable health care system. But hey, you will still have your shiny guns.
I'm disappointed the video didn't mentioned a heavily armed civilian population in the US. Most Americans would have the same mentality as always. We the people don't want a war but if you force our hand, then bring it on!
I think the video ignored some things and just went for an open invasion type of attack. However I will say America has a huge sense of pride and one thing that has proven to bring many of us together is an attack on us. 9/11 proved that. I think one of the biggest issues an invasion force would face is the fact that most of our population is armed and would gladly take up those arms and become a military force if need be.

Not even a foothold. No country or countries could even get within a few hundred miles before their entire fleet is obliterated. They would destroy the entire fleet in 5 minutes and broadcast it on the news for people to laugh about. People have no real clue what the US military is really capable of. It's actually scary. And a lot of the "statistics" you see aren't even close to accurate. The actual numbers are much higher because no nation reveals all of it's cards. The US military has weapons of destruction behind doors that are so powerful that they make old nuclear bombs look like fireworks.
Not even a foothold the moment the invasion force is spotted US and allies would immidietly go attack that force and then attack the countries that command that invasion force
As for an enemy taking out things like communications, I have family pretty high up in the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force, with one running a major part of communications, and he and his crew are flown all over the U.S. and to places in many other countries to make sure certain communication networks are up to date and working properly, and every place they go has off-grid communications that can and are used to communicate to other military bases all over the world. So even if the main grid were taken down they can all still communicate just fine. Certain things are located underground and in places away from the bases, and it takes a helicopter ride or a nice hike to get to them. Also, the comment made about Texas being ready, truth is, just about every state has a lot of armed citizens like Texas does, but a lot of people say things about Texas and their armed citizens because it's kinda become like a meme because they're more vocal about being armed where most citizens in other states are not. I was born and raised here in Florida, and I don't believe I know anyone that isn't armed with a few different firearms, and I know a lot of people. Our gun club has over 1500 members and we have firearms ranging from .22s to full-auto 50 Cals. It's a blast to cut an old vehicle in half with one of the full-auto 50 Cals. lol. It isn't a cheap day at the range, but it is fun. lol.
I remember when Iran threatened to park a warships (1 cruiser and 1 oiler) off the US coast in response to something. I though sure you have every right to do that, any nation can. But you can't. Even if Venezuela offered a resupply port, the Iranian Navy is a small coastal navy with no appreciable deep water experience. It doesn't have the legs for that kind of journey. Pluss, even if it did make the US coast and stay on station for more that a few days, those 2 ships would be constantly monitored by aircraft, surface vessels and subs, all with in our engagement range and could be sunk within minutes or even seconds. it was so silly.
There was a board game in the 80's called Fortress America by Milton Bradley based on this concept. One player was America and up to 3 other players were attacking from 3 sides and it almost always ended with the American player winning. Keep in mind it was the 80's and it was made in America, unlikely they'd balance it the other way in the midst of the cold war even if it were possible.
This was all without mentioning the citizenry. Most well armed public in the world. Your average county fair could hold of the Russians until the cheese curds ran out.
They didn't get far enough to point out that even against all odds that an enemy was able to get a foothold against the US military, you now have to face over 100 million armed citizens.
@@bigpapi6688 I understand how many are in the country, however, not every American owns guns. the ones that do own guns have multiple. So, I gave a conservative estimate of about 1/3 of the citizens of the country being armed. Because about 1/4th of the country is under 18 and can't legally own a firearm. About 42% of US households do own guns, so if you take away the people who are under 18 and then you calculate about 42% of the rest of the 245 million adult citizens it comes out to about 103 million. So now you understand I did some quick math to come up with an educated guess, it's not scientifically accurate. I don't know why this is even an issue.
Wasn't a Japanese military leader during WW2 quoted as saying "You can not invade the mainland United States, there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass".

And despite all talk to remove guns from civilians in our country now, we have over 300 million firearms in the US. More than enough guns to arm every man, woman and child if need be.
Speaking as someone who has lived in the USA in Texas all my life. In my state I'd say at least half the people I know and have seen in public are armed. We take stuff seriously here. If the homeland tried invading us they probably couldn't even take my house.
As a Texan I see this as a sport there's more guns in Texas than there is in prolly most countries lol. And not just quantity there's quality and we go train at the range for fun on random weekends.
Invading Texas would be suicide. Dyess Air Force Base (training center for the B-1b) and Fort Hood (one of the largest tank training bases in the US) are both located here (along with other military bases). Fort Hood isn't all that far from Houston, either.
yeah Fort Hood is THE largest tank training base in the US, and one of the largest military bases in the world. 1st largest in terms of number of personnel and civilians and their families (over 500,000) 2nd largest in terms of active duty personnel 3rd largest in terms of size Only base in the US that can station and train 2 full armored divisions

If 3 office Blokes make it to Tennessee? I could easily show how the spirit of the Minute Man and Woman still rings in the population. All Americans would be there to confront any enemy trying to engage. Oh and there also is our home-based Military 😀 . Good luck
If they landed in Washington they'd also have to deal with our Airforce, there's a large base in Vacaville, CA and a group of them have constant residence at the Portland Airport. They'd be able to get jets up there in no time.
You have to also take into account that the Pacific Ocean is the deepest Ocean. Not only that the Atlanta is subject to hurricanes and stuff so getting through that with an army is tough then having to land under fire and fight also.
I love that they say Russia's best bet is to hit the American South. People actually collect military grade weaponry down here, and there's enough guns and ammo to arm every man woman and child. There are also a ton of us that have been hunting since we were kids and we can all hit a target from 300 yards. Then there's all the retired military vets. If the South is your best option, you sir are out of options.
At the very least, you have 29 other NATO countries that would step in due to article 5, then you have allies not in NATO like Japan, Australia, etc. And a lot of these countries are some of the most powerful in the world so we are in good hands with them.
Lost me at "Neither NATO nor the Soviet Block ever had a single war plan drawn up for an actual invasion of the others territory". Who ever made this fails history.
The issue that wasn't discussed.....there are 20 million Vets in this Country. That tend to be armed, well.........Yamamoto said it best.......a rifle behind every blade of grass
defeating our military would be the most insane feat in human history til this point, and if that ever happened our enemies would then have to beat another military many times more people, with a nightmare of a geographical struggle, and a short time limit. easier done in video games lol.

invade anywhere in the US and you're seeing far more guns in civilian hands than the military, is the thing. My household has 6 firearms ourselves, and we haven't used them in years. Imagine how many avid hunters and firearm enthusiasts that can supply their entire neighborhood with weapons, assuming they all don't have multiple firearms per household themselves. Invade the US and you're fighting the civilians as well, not just the military.

Enemies have expressed their fear of the US armed populace. "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." - Isoroku Yamamoto
My goodness, the number of people with AR's and thousands of rounds of ammo, in my state alone, Would probably negate an invasion of the south eastern US.
I have enough guns and ammo to supply 8 people, including myself, with 1 handgun and 1 AR plus 1000 rounds of ammo. I literally have more armaments than the local police department. The police chief told me What they had on day and I laughed. He asked what was so funny and I told him I mwas on my way to my nephews house where we have a shooting range and showed him everything in my SUV. He gulped and asked me if he'd need help would I show up. Damn straight. He laughed when I told him that he had more rules of engagement than I do...lol
Let's just say that one American state registered hunters makes up the 5th largest armed force in the world. Then you also must understand Americans coined the pharses. F' around and fine out. Hold my beer and watch this shit.
One thing that is over looked is the citizens themselves. We might not always get along, but if we were invaded it's us against them. And we have lots of guns too.
To think 11.4 million deer hunting licenses were issued in 2019 in the US. That is just deer permits. .if just half of those are crack shots thats 5.7 million potential snipers to deal with. Just another thought that could have been added to the video.
Private gun owners in America own 400,000,000 firearms that's only the known that have been processed through background checks after 1968! So more like 750,000,000 - 1,000,000,000 firearms and trillions of rounds of ammunition! That's also the why gun control or confiscation is very unlikely to happen in the US. Having that many firearms and that much ammo. We don't have a gun problem or we would all be dead by the tens of millions a year which does not happen. The founders of this great nation knew exactly why the second amendment was written. All enemies foreign and domestic! So even if they made it through all those military shortfalls and got a substantial invasion Force on us soil they would have a very very hard time making it through the backwoods of the United States of America!

You're in error that Kurt Russell was in "Red Dawn" the original movie. It actually stars the now deceased Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O'Neal, William Smith, and Powers Boothe. If you remember Swayze whose most iconic roles were in "Dirty Dancing" "Road House" and "Ghost." One of his co-stars in the above movie Jennifer Grey played opposite him in "Dirty Dancing." C. Thomas Howell's career peak I would suppose was when he was a teenager and featured in the movie "The Outsiders". He was also in "Soul Man" in which he wore dark makeup and pretended to be a black male to get take advantage of affirmative action to get a scholarship at an Ivy League university. It's a movie that I doubt could get made today. His co-star in that movie Rae Dawn Chong would later become his wife. The villainous protagonists were a Cuban military officer and a Russian officer who were respectively played by Ron O'Neal mostly known as "Superfly" from the blaxploitation days and William Smith of the old "Laredo" tv show with Peter Brown and Neville Brand wherein they played Texas Rangers in the old west. Smith was a bodybuilder type who made numerous B movies. He ironically enough may well have become one of those intelligence agents you referenced because he was fluent in Russian and spoke it in the movie "Red Dawn." He served in the United States Air Force. He won the 200-pound (91 kg) arm-wrestling championship of the world multiple times and also won the United States Air Force weightlifting championship. A lifelong bodybuilder, Smith was a record holder for reverse-curling his own body weight. His trademark arms measured as much as 19+1⁄2 inches. Smith held a 31-1 record as an amateur boxer. During the Korean War, he was a Russian Intercept Interrogator and flew secret ferret missions over the Russian SFSR. He had both CIA and NSA clearance (I myself had a NSA Clearance and worked there as a member of the US Army Security Agency after my return from Southeast Asia in the early seventies). Smith intended to enter a classified position with the U.S. government, but while he was working on his doctorate studies he landed an acting contract with MGM. You might remember him as playing Clint Eastwood's rival in the silly movie costarring an Orangutang "Any Which Way You Can." He was an academic as well who taught at UCLA. If you've ever seen the movie "Darker Than Amber" starring Rod Taylor as the Private Eye Phillip Marlow you may see him and Taylor in an actual fight. Smith appeared as heavy Terry Bartell in the 1970 movie. In the fistfight scene that ends the film, Rod Taylor hit Smith (who was playing the villain) who retaliated in kind, and a staged fight scene became a real fight as the cameras continued to roll. Smith later reported that Taylor was "a very tough guy" who broke three of his ribs while he broke Taylor's nose
For a large portion of our population, a land invasion would be classified as 'target practice' and there are quite a few civilians that have 'retired' military-class weapons and are just itching for a good reason to shoot them. Furthermore, the vast majority of us are armed. While our civilian casualties would be high, as most houses and buildings aren't designed to withstand bullets, I know that this old, crippled SOB would gladly lay my life down to protect my country (and yes, I'm armed), and I bet the majority of us feel the same. TL;DR: In any land war on US soil, ignore the civilians at your own peril.
Even if a country could get a standing army on U.S soil, there is at least 1 gun for every U.S citizen owned privately. Just like Red Dawn, any invading force would eventually be repelled.
@@catfishbilly8250 I'm from both actually. That's how I know you're all talk. Many southerners have more guns than teeth. That doesn't mean you can take down a legitimate military, Jim Bob. That's assuming you don't immediately run in the other direction like most civilians would, armed or not.

Even if you were somehow able to defeat the United States military, you still have to deal with the average psychopath that’s armed heavily, sitting in every living room and every basement. You’d never get it done. Hell, my grandmother would probably take out 25 people on her own.j

It hilarious that every British reactor knows invading Texas is a bad idea. 🤣

Having a Navy is literally written in the US Constitution
There are so many private guns in the United States that it would be nearly impossible to take even if the us military didnt exsist at all. The us can outwardly project power on a different level then any other country. That power gets multiplied 100x if your talking about defending the homeland. If the us is capable of absolutely wrecking pretty much any country with its 1 million man standing army imagine what it could do with its 35 million trained, experienced and armed veterans that are at home.

@@sweiland75 No they didn't, but they did almost single handedly push back the Japanese, The Chinese played an important role in taking up resources for there occupation. And this comment was on the Japanese view of the war specifically not the whole of ww2
Let's put it this way: The last nation to invade the USA was Japan, and we dropped small suns on two of their cities, then occupied them, deconstructed their government and remade it in our image. Now, in the modern day, there is no way such a war would happen. Not only could the US just decimate any nation to attack it, but the treaty obligations of NATO would kick in, and basically half the planet would attack the potential invaders' homeland while their ships were desperately trying to make landfall in the USA. This is also discounting the fact that the US has enough nuclear weapons to back down any other nuclear power, never mind a non-nuclear threat, which would face total obliteration with no chance of retaliating. Whether for good or bad, human warmaking capabilities have developed to the point where great powers, and the sole superpower, no longer have the option of large ground or sea-based invasions of each other (ie. WWII couldn't happen again today). Of course, the positive side of this is that large wars of attrition aren't killing millions, but the negative is that a large-scale war could result in the destruction of the planet.
You were just waiting to write that comment lmao
Jesus man, you must be good at writing essays for school
@Channon Legier You're forgetting we're talking about invading the U.S.A. not the U.S.A invading a foreign country.
Japan didn't invade the US... They attacked U.S Soil (via Midway/Pearl Harbor) but in no way did they ever actually reach or set up a base on US soil.
That's like saying if I threw a fire cracker in your front yard, that I "invaded your home" it is not the same.
@@southfieldtrill9690 Yes, but any nation to invade the US would face an immediate counter-invasion, largely to disrupt their supply lines and cripple their ability to build additional munitions and vehicles to sustain their invasion (eg. when Allies and the Axis bombed each others' factories to disrupt their war machine). We could do this using what is now the forward-deployed carrier fleets in the Pacific and our nuclear submarines. If the invader loses the ability to supply their troops and replace any lost vehicles, it becomes a war of attrition that they can't easily win without a decisive action (which they can't get against the US).
1-East and West Canada are connected by a single road. Blow the bridges and good luck moving anything on lateral lines. The rail connections are almost as vulnerable. 2-Americans don't have much trouble killing each other. Outsiders would be more than fair game.
The world has seen when Americans get attacked as well, twice. They may kill each other in the streets every day, but when they have a common enemy, they come together like most countries of that diversity would not. Americans are very friendly for the majority, best not to piss them off.
I remember my 7th grade social studies teacher telling us how "wonderful" the crusades were for Europe...because it gave the men-at-arms someone else to kill other then themselves!

You mean to say that if the Yanks have managed to piss off every nation on this planet to such an extent that everyone would put aside their animosities and religious differences that they have had for thousands of years to concentrate on eliminating the US, you really think that the rest of the world won't be able to do it?

I think the video ignored some things and just went for an open invasion type of attack. However I will say America has a huge sense of pride and one thing that has proven to bring many of us together is an attack on us. 9/11 proved that. I think one of the biggest issues an invasion force would face is the fact that most of our population is armed and would gladly take up those arms and become a military force if need be.

Best part of this entire video: "Just gonna put it out there, you want to try and invade Texas?"
You could probably get a foothold but occupation would be impossible.
Not even a foothold. No country or countries could even get within a few hundred miles before their entire fleet is obliterated. They would destroy the entire fleet in 5 minutes and broadcast it on the news for people to laugh about. People have no real clue what the US military is really capable of. It's actually scary. And a lot of the "statistics" you see aren't even close to accurate. The actual numbers are much higher because no nation reveals all of it's cards. The US military has weapons of destruction behind doors that are so powerful that they make old nuclear bombs look like fireworks.
Not even a foothold the moment the invasion force is spotted US and allies would immidietly go attack that force and then attack the countries that command that invasion force
As for an enemy taking out things like communications, I have family pretty high up in the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force, with one running a major part of communications, and he and his crew are flown all over the U.S. and to places in many other countries to make sure certain communication networks are up to date and working properly, and every place they go has off-grid communications that can and are used to communicate to other military bases all over the world. So even if the main grid were taken down they can all still communicate just fine. Certain things are located underground and in places away from the bases, and it takes a helicopter ride or a nice hike to get to them.
Also, the comment made about Texas being ready, truth is, just about every state has a lot of armed citizens like Texas does, but a lot of people say things about Texas and their armed citizens because it's kinda become like a meme because they're more vocal about being armed where most citizens in other states are not. I was born and raised here in Florida, and I don't believe I know anyone that isn't armed with a few different firearms, and I know a lot of people. Our gun club has over 1500 members and we have firearms ranging from .22s to full-auto 50 Cals. It's a blast to cut an old vehicle in half with one of the full-auto 50 Cals. lol. It isn't a cheap day at the range, but it is fun. lol.
All I have to say is Kentucky... that's all you have to say when people fuck with you.
Us Texans have alot of state pride. Even if you don't have a gun you would definitely know someone who does.
I remember when Iran threatened to park a warships (1 cruiser and 1 oiler) off the US coast in response to something. I though sure you have every right to do that, any nation can. But you can't. Even if Venezuela offered a resupply port, the Iranian Navy is a small coastal navy with no appreciable deep water experience. It doesn't have the legs for that kind of journey. Pluss, even if it did make the US coast and stay on station for more that a few days, those 2 ships would be constantly monitored by aircraft, surface vessels and subs, all with in our engagement range and could be sunk within minutes or even seconds. it was so silly.
There was a board game in the 80's called Fortress America by Milton Bradley based on this concept. One player was America and up to 3 other players were attacking from 3 sides and it almost always ended with the American player winning. Keep in mind it was the 80's and it was made in America, unlikely they'd balance it the other way in the midst of the cold war even if it were possible.
Is that like the board game Nukem by Butler Brothers?
I actually have that boardgame, and in my opinion at least it's fairly balanced.

@@bigpapi6688 I was being conservative and not counting the people who are against owning firearms and children.
@@DarthBester There are more then 350 million firearms in America. There’s literally more then one gun per citizen
@@bigpapi6688 I understand how many are in the country, however, not every American owns guns. the ones that do own guns have multiple. So, I gave a conservative estimate of about 1/3 of the citizens of the country being armed. Because about 1/4th of the country is under 18 and can't legally own a firearm. About 42% of US households do own guns, so if you take away the people who are under 18 and then you calculate about 42% of the rest of the 245 million adult citizens it comes out to about 103 million. So now you understand I did some quick math to come up with an educated guess, it's not scientifically accurate. I don't know why this is even an issue.

If the South is your best option, you sir are out of options.
Theres an army surplus in Texas city Texas where u can buy a decomishend tank for like 15000 or a humvee for like 4500

Private gun owners in America own 400,000,000 firearms that's only the known that have been processed through background checks after 1968! So more like 750,000,000 - 1,000,000,000 firearms and trillions of rounds of ammunition! That's also the why gun control or confiscation is very unlikely to happen in the US. Having that many firearms and that much ammo. We don't have a gun problem or we would all be dead by the tens of millions a year which does not happen.

You're in error that Kurt Russell was in "Red Dawn" the original movie. It actually stars the now deceased Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O'Neal, William Smith, and Powers Boothe. If you remember Swayze whose most iconic roles were in "Dirty Dancing" "Road House" and "Ghost." One of his co-stars in the above movie Jennifer Grey played opposite him in "Dirty Dancing." C. Thomas Howell's career peak I would suppose was when he was a teenager and featured in the movie "The Outsiders". He was also in "Soul Man" in which he wore dark makeup and pretended to be a black male to get take advantage of affirmative action to get a scholarship at an Ivy League university. It's a movie that I doubt could get made today. His co-star in that movie Rae Dawn Chong would later become his wife. The villainous protagonists were a Cuban military officer and a Russian officer who were respectively played by Ron O'Neal mostly known as "Superfly" from the blaxploitation days and William Smith of the old "Laredo" tv show with Peter Brown and Neville Brand wherein they played Texas Rangers in the old west. Smith was a bodybuilder type who made numerous B movies. He ironically enough may well have become one of those intelligence agents you referenced because he was fluent in Russian and spoke it in the movie "Red Dawn."
He served in the United States Air Force. He won the 200-pound (91 kg) arm-wrestling championship of the world multiple times and also won the United States Air Force weightlifting championship. A lifelong bodybuilder, Smith was a record holder for reverse-curling his own body weight. His trademark arms measured as much as 19+1⁄2 inches. Smith held a 31-1 record as an amateur boxer. During the Korean War, he was a Russian Intercept
Interrogator and flew secret ferret missions over the Russian SFSR. He had both CIA and NSA clearance (I myself had a NSA Clearance and worked there as a member of the US Army Security Agency after my return from Southeast Asia in the early seventies). Smith intended to enter a classified position with the U.S. government, but while he was working on his doctorate studies he landed an acting contract with MGM. You might remember him as playing Clint Eastwood's rival in the silly movie costarring an Orangutang "Any Which Way You Can." He was an academic as well who taught at UCLA. If you've ever seen the movie "Darker Than Amber" starring Rod Taylor as the Private Eye Phillip Marlow you may see him and Taylor in an actual fight. Smith appeared as heavy Terry Bartell in the 1970 movie. In the fistfight scene that ends the film, Rod Taylor hit Smith (who was playing the villain) who retaliated in kind, and a staged fight scene became a real fight as the cameras continued to roll. Smith later reported that Taylor was "a very tough guy" who broke three of his ribs while he broke Taylor's nose

For a large portion of our population, a land invasion would be classified as 'target practice' and there are quite a few civilians that have 'retired' military-class weapons and are just itching for a good reason to shoot them.
Furthermore, the vast majority of us are armed. While our civilian casualties would be high, as most houses and buildings aren't designed to withstand bullets, I know that this old, crippled SOB would gladly lay my life down to protect my country (and yes, I'm armed), and I bet the majority of us feel the same.
TL;DR: In any land war on US soil, ignore the civilians at your own peril.
the geographic isolation and oceans are to thank
And cool neighbors. The USA is lucky to have Canada and Mexico on it's borders. Although Mexico needs some help right now.
@@ΒΞΔΝ Canada and Mexico are much luckier to have the USA on its borders.
"Empires fall in Appalachistan." - Some future historian, probably.
Even if a country could get a standing army on U.S soil, there is at least 1 gun for every U.S citizen owned privately. Just like Red Dawn, any invading force would eventually be repelled.
Those guns aren't owned by every U.S. citizen. They would also be useless in the hands of amateur enthusiasts against an actual trained military.
@@xviper2k you obviously aren't from the U S and you're definitely not from the south!
@@catfishbilly8250 I'm from both actually. That's how I know you're all talk. Many southerners have more guns than teeth. That doesn't mean you can take down a legitimate military, Jim Bob. That's assuming you don't immediately run in the other direction like most civilians would, armed or not.
What was not mentioned in that video was the outrageous number of fire arms we Americans own privately, along with an almost endless supply of bullets, surplus bombs and the relentless will to never be ruled over again.
they would never get past the american plp forget the military . you all take a break the american plp will handle this one.
Lol..NO SHIT! We are more armed than ever!
Our military was specifically designed to fight on multiple fronts from multiple enemies at the same time for this reason lol
