And that’s not a comment that means to suggest that I think people aren’t as tough as they think. I include myself in that statement, entirely. I’m purely a pacifist, but I also recognize that I’m not cutout to be heading off into battle or things like that. I feel like that’s most of our population and having met plenty of people from this board, I’d hazard a guess that’s most of us here.

I think the country, if invaded by the US (which I do not think will happen), would fold quickly and easily.
You nailed it with "I feel like a lot of the people saying they’d fight to the death are people who have never been in war" people have no fcuking clue what it is like.
