If the US were invaded, would you stay and fight or flee. (You won’t like the numbers from our young)

When asked whether they’d flee or fight an invading force, far too many Millennials and Gen-Zers give the wrong answer.

As part of a recent survey of attitudes toward Russia’s execrable invasion of Ukraine, the polling firm Quinnipiac asked Americans whether they would stay and fight if the United States were invaded by Russia. The results make sobering — and often disgraceful — reading. Sixty-eight percent of Republicans said that they would “stay and fight,” with 25 percent indicating that they’d run away. Among independents, those numbers are 57–36. Among Democrats, they’re in negative territory, at 40–52. Among 50- to 64-year-old men and women, the stay/leave numbers are 66/28. Among 18- to 34-year-olds, they are 45/48. Or, to put it another way: A majority of the prime-aged Americans whom the United States would need were such a crisis to arise imagine that they would flee if that crisis ever came.

For shame.

“We are being invaded.”

Sorry, but I must disagree.
We HAVE been invaded and we have lost our government Of, By & For the people.

that will be a feminist Venezuela in three years?

Hypotheticals of this sort are meaningless.

The most dangerous man alive is the over 55 male with paid off bills, kids done college, no more loans to pay off because he never took a vacation, and who's family can live quite well off his lifetime 401K contributions. Toss in prostate cancer or heart disease and you've got one very dangerous homebre there. There are millions 9f them right now.

Pajama boys on their phones steering social media threads go weak in the knees at trigger words.

From the generation that is best known for making a$$ eating a thing, I am not surprised.

[Openurmind]

“Where would you go?”

Yep, absolutely. We are the last hold out of freedom of any kind at all. We have been backed into a corner we cannot get out of. There are no backdoors or escape hatches left.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse...A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

~ J.S. Mill

Your spell checker seems to be rebelling...

If?

[rktman]

So, not like Bryce Mitchell then. And as someone else noted, we are being invaded. I keep reminding my UNrepresentative senatorettes but they keep telling me how great things are and all the good they’re doing for their constituents. Sure they are.

[TalBlack]

Invaders = targets. Doesn’t matter who isn’t shooting only who is.

Hi.

This is anecdotal, but over the years I’ve met probably 300+ FReepers and about 40% were Vets or married to vets. All would defend the country in a heartbeat.

Now, I can’t hump ammo or man an 81mm mortar, but I can still hit a target at 300m no problem.

5.56mm

[left that other site]

I am an senior citizen widow, but I know how to shoot. I probably would stay and fight.

[struggle]

>How many would gladly join the invaders?

But imagine how easy it would be sniping that puke-green hair and how hard it would be for them to march while dialating.

[Chainmail]

1. Despite my advancing age, I would form a militia battalion and train them and then fight.

2. Anybody who refused to fight would be put up against the nearest wall, unless they were disabled, incompetent, or children.

[gundog]

Maybe it’s code.

[StAntKnee]

Run where?

Mexico? Just try sneaking across that border (in THAT direction).

Canada? Get in line behind the leadership surrendering.

What’s remarkable about this survey? Even in a theoretical without consequences a vast number would run away. Imagine the real number in the instance of an ACTUAL invasion.

[Flavious_Maximus]

If the invadors are woke democrats then I would go full kamikazi.

If the invaders are capitalist liberators, I would join them.

[chuckee]

Simple formula for motivating the Democrat menace to leave the country

1. Reinstate the draft
2. Draft all Democrats
3 They head northward and now become Canada’s problem
