I wouldn't put such low stock in Americans-from whatever era or background.

One of the reasons the Russians were able to gut it out was because of the biggest ally they had on the Eastern Front; Old Man Winter.

Hitler, like every fanatic, did not take into account the lessons he should have learned from history. Napoleon tried the same thing and got shut down by Khutuzov, et. al., who had the winter's frost at their backs.

With the mood and influence of the anti-war people in our media - Hollywood, newspapers, TV news etc, and the numbers who are ready to oppose war so quickly I hope you’re right.
Hopefully if a full scale invasion happened, we would respond as we did a couple centuries ago. It has been a long time since it has happened to us. Other than a few Mexican bandits in the early part of the 20th Century, we haven’t been invaded since the War of 1812.
I hope I don’t see it never happens again.
