Do you think your leaders would establish lines/fronts to protect your population, or use your population to protect your military?

This question is moot where some of us are armed better than our military;)

Okay so were they protecting the military or was the military protecting them?

I was unclear on your answer.

I dare say the USA is probably the LAST place on this Planet that will be invaded. You see we DO have WMD...and plenty of them! Didn't we invent this game?
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Ah... "wmd" isn't the problem... its the people who poses them.

No propaganda involved here as even the "Minister of Information" was admitting to asking the population of Iraq to do whatever was necessary against the armed invaders.

Basically, why would saddam hide his military in the populas and then ask that populas to sacrifice themselves instead?  Seems operation "Civilian Shield" wasn't that much of a success, though it did slow things down enough to allow the military personel to escape.

I think the answer is directly proportional to how much the people like their leader. (to minids question)

You might be an American if any of the following are applicable:

1) Your personal arsenal includes at least one anti-tank weapon.
2) It would take an invading army three years to fight through your town.
3) You'll run of food before you run out of ammunition.
4) You've toyed with the thought of invading small South American countries.
5) Civil defense? If it moves and ain't ours, shoot it -or- if it floats and doesn't say "quack", sink it.
6) The calibers of your guns read like a wine list, .22, .30, .38, .45, .50...
7) The government has requested that you remove the 20MM cannon from your Piper Cub.
8) You believe the right to bear arms includes tactical nuclear weapons.
9) You feel that deer season is too short, and have invented several other animal hunting seasons; cat season, for example.
10) You'd die deciding which gun to reach for in the event of an emergency.

Haven't played with one in over 20 years. North shore road ran through my back yard, we used to try to hit the MBTA busses. We weren't the sharpest tools in the shed.Lol, it's a good thing we didn't know about the egg gun. Do you have to hard boil them?
