Who was the last country to invade us?

If we had any common sense, we would use the two oceans as a natural defense. Bit instead, we globetrotting around and create enemies halfway around the world.

Does it not make just a tiny bit of sense to you that the reason we weren't invaded was because we had a military? Is that a hard concept?

Why wasn’t the Swiss invaded during ww2 with all the death and chaos that was going on all around them?

Here’s a hint, they have a very strong rifleman culture there, and the populace are armed.

You have armed citizens in this country. What country is going to be able to occupy us in this hemisphere? Forget about the oceans on both coasts....

That was part of it, but there was slightly more to it.

We defeated ourselves in Viet nam. Linebacker1 and linebacker2 were very successful, high altitude carpet bombing from b52s that killed every living thing above ground. Worked great.

That's why there was never linebacker3.look it up...politicians didn't want to win the war. Never carpet bombed again. Instead sent poorly trained teenagers to wage war on foot against guerilla tactics and booby traps in jungles those people had lived in for hundreds of years with 1000s of miles of underground tunnels so we could never track their movements. Kids never stood a chance. The only US war that makes me hang my head, and the 2 men in my family closest to me each served 26 years.

That war was bullcrap from start to finish

You can't subjugate a well armed populace (that doesn't want to be).

They could wipe us out if they wanted, no doubt. But a dead citizen doesn't pay taxes.

Unfortunately, most in this country are actually proud of their subjugation. But if the people of this country just decided they didn't want to play the game any more (and were actually willing to fight for that belief), our government would be in big trouble.

I believe in the individual. If people want to form a government of some kind, and I can voluntarily opt out, without consequences, so be it.

The true measure of your freedom is the ability to opt out of something without consequence.

Ok, I generally stay out of this stuff, but this is literally the most asinine thing I've seen on here in quite some time. Literally everything you do has consequences. You want to do what you want, when you want without regard for others, then renounce your citizenship. Move to some deserted island in the Caribbean. Then you can be your own government or however the hell you phrase it. If you're going to live in society with others there are rules that are put in place to govern that society. Don't like them? Then elect someone who is more in tune with your like of thinking. Otherwise, do as I suggested and find you an island.

Let me ask you this. Is there an HOA where you live?

I want to decide what to do with my life and property and I want everyone else to do as they choose with their life and property. I believe all interactions between people should be voluntary. There is no greater minority than the individual. Perhaps we’ll get there, one day.

then go found your own society where that is the case. as it is our society has predated your want to be left to your own devices.

don't be obtuse, it has a lot more than that going on.

Its also in the mountains, and the entire population is the military, they are all required to do yearly training with the military. those same mountains are garrisoned and entrenched. it also has a VERY long (longer than we have been settled) neutral stance, and has stood by it. I am sure being the bank to many countries rich also helps.

the population also doesn't keep their guns at home.

For the record, the rifle of the Swiss during the time of WW2 was the K31 “Schmidt Rubin” rifle. Those were kept at home by the citizens.

I will say, as much as most here seem to love government, if we were invaded, y’all would likely feel right at home with yet another states boot on your throat.
