“Why else would anyone try to take on the most powerful military might on earth?”
Because we are the largest, richest TARGET on the planet. By any standard you care to measure by.

Answer: ‘Because thats where the money is...’
She’s frightened, or just happy to see us?
“Yeah! And what’s with killing off Gerald McRaney?”
Hell, his character was supposed to be a Vietnam Vet of some kind...yet he absolutely refused to carry a weapon, even after half the police force was executed by the third episode.
I found it ironic he died ‘after’ waking the hell up to the situation as it is.
Our country is being invaded right now ...
That’s for sure. Every day the State Department allows more and more muslims to enter as “refugees”
They do not come with a sword but with the ideology of the sword. Once they get here and build up their numbers (they proliferate) we shall see the chaos ...
LOL
Mickey being the silly one.
Yep, the past three episodes have been exceptional... but I'm a bit annoyed that they killed off Gerald McRaney's character.
There was a movie called “Invasion USA” (NOT the one with Chuck Norris) in black and white from back in the 1950s. That might have been it. It’s on DVD.
He was in the Army before joining the band. Hence the title.
There's a glimpse or two of reality there, though. Power struggles over the crops and the salt mine - all toned down for prime-time television. Reality would be far uglier, but going "too real" would drive away half of the viewers. People want to believe that a Mayberry-like existence could continue under such circumstances.
I do give them points for paying attention to detail. Note that only the older cars and trucks will run (there have been goof-ups on that issue, though). Also, power and communications were actually disrupted by the not-very-distant nuclear explosion. Compare that with 24, which had no such difficulties. Why, even the automobile traffic was normal, despite a mushroom cloud towering nearby. The last fifteen minutes of the film Miracle Mile would be a lot closer to the way people would really react, IMO.
I’m not going to say I was thinking that but I did think it was more than fifteen years late.
Laughed so hard it started a coughing fit!
I think the key theme of the movie was Patriotism.
"Who is John Galt?"
"Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!"
"China Clipper calling Alameda"
"Einstein was probably one of them"
You forgot the best one.
