But consider all of this, following a nuclear attack and by nuclear attack I mean a scenario in which smaller nukes have been amassed in major/strategic cities over the course of the past 10 years and set off by individuals on the ground. Imagine that most people would be considering their own/families survival (food, water, sanitation, shelter, looters, etc).
Then say a week later masses come up over the border of Mexico in conjunction with whatever factions are supposedly in this country to begin the 'slaughter'. How quickly and in what numbers would citizens be able to organize? How would they even know to organize for the cause of an invasion? Our own National Guard, if truly stretched thin at the time, would be inundated with Civil matters.
What then?
thats a pretty good point, and im sure there would be some places that would be completely useless. in order to take down americas infrastructure completely a massive amount of weapons would be needed. ALL communications would need to be knocked out, in the entire country.....thats a pretty demanding task. even after EVERY power station is knocked out people still have radios and batteries.
i think there would be mass chaos at first, with looting, and probably martial law being put into effect until things calmed down. once an "invasion" took place and word got out, all hell would break loose. anyone with a pickup truck, a few friends and some rifles would become an asset. imagine the best way to defend your neighborhood......now imagine an army having to go through that a million times over before they even got to where you are.
it will never happen, our civilians are too powerful.
