Here is one to ponder...Would you burn your CAP uniform?

Hopefully Mike or one of the other mods will lock this stupid thread!

It was supposed to die off on it's own at about the 64th reply.  Let it die.

Bear with me...it starts with an unlikely scenario... (The POLITICS is not the point especially since it is totally fictional, but rather your actions in the aftermath)

In March of 2012, a revolution in Mexico brings forth a sort of National Socialist movement that takes power  and immediately negates NAFTA assuming an Anti-American posture.  The US attempts to intervene, but internal pressures after the recent withdrawl of US troops from the Middle East makes it an unpopular move.

In September of that year, Venezuela and Mexico begin a major Anti-American push and culminate it with a Conquest of Central America.   These nations are well armed and are totally militarized.  US military action is threatened, however, anti-war forces are in power and a prolonged war in Central America is dismissed as having no bearing on US interests.  Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala FALL!

In Mid-2014, with help from Separatists in the Southwest, disrupt the Southwest to the point that a successful invasion of South Texas, New Mexico, parts of Arizona and Southern California are occupied.  It turns out to be folly on the part of the Mexican-Venezuelan Alliance, however, the US has difficulty retaking the area due to obvious issues related to the Civilian population.

The Southwestern US is OCCUPIED...albeit, it is likely to be temporary (a year or so) 

There is a CAP uniform hanging in your closet.  Do you burn it?  What might they do to you? Would you fight?  resistance? Collaboration?

What would you do?

What exactly is the point of this thread?

How exactly do discussions of ideas as STUPID as this one have any benefit to CAP?

No offense to anyone, but I feel I have lost many brain cells by reading all of this nonsense. This thread has nothing to do with PATRIOTISM at all. If you really wanted to ask members about their patriotism I think you could have come up with a better way to ask about it.

This "scenario" you described is totally ridicules & about as likely to happen as the U.S. being invaded by aliens from outerspace. Mexico & Venezuela invading the United States! That "war" would not even last long enough for someone to write a newspaper article about  it.

This is a forum for CAP members to share their thoughts & experiences. I understand that sometimes members want to discuss other things, but this is really useless nonsense. I don't post much, but I had to say something about this. This might be just my 2 cents, but I hope other members feel similar.

Dude you got way too much free time on your hands....go join some conspiracy theory forum or something. No one in CAP benefits from "discussions" such as this. I'm actually sorry I responded!

Hopefully Mike or one of the other mods will lock this stupid thread!

Hey DUDE, this is a thinking exercise.  No one here thinks that Mexico is invading...it is supposed to exercise your brain on some "higher levels."

For example, an intellegent person would have said 'You know, this senario is not possible."  Then they might exerise their higher order thinking skills and say... "The US is not a place that can be invaded...it is too large and surrounded by two oceans."  Then  they might remember that the point of this tread is not "Invasion America," but a question o fwhat one would do.

Maybe, if one thought it out, they might even equate it to other examples where free peoples were occupied by hostle despotic forces.

Good day!

I am an intelligent person & that is why I saw this entire thread for what is it....STUPID!

In my opinion it is actually an insult to intelligent people.

"This is a thinking exercise.  No one here thinks that Mexico is invading...it is supposed to exercise your brain on some "higher levels." What?....if something this ridicules gets your brain thinking at a higher level I feel sorry for you. Go watch cartoons or something & stop wasting other peoples time with your nonsense. This is not the first (or probably last) moronic thread you have started.

I don't know what else to say except please lock this thread. I don't want to trade barbs with this guy over something so STUPID.

Who cares what one would do if the U.S. is invaded? It is nonsense plain & simple!

Why not ask what CAP members would do in the mothership lands in Central Park? I guess that might be your next thread.
