[QUOTE="cinco, post: 1838647, member: 7656"] Well in response to the OP's question and in context of a foreign invasion... Never before in our history have there been so many highly trained and combat experienced vets. We have an entire generation of soldiers who have seen multiple combat tours and/or continuous duty in a "war time" environment. The important note is experience with insurgent/guerilla fighting. With the increased draw down of forces in Iraq/Afghanistan, these numbers of CONUS vets will increase. Say what you want about the "untrained masses", but with this huge source of war time vets - those "untrained masses" won't have to go far for qualified leadership and training. Likewise, I think it best to never underestimate the latent "defensive" instincts of a father/mother. There are many historical examples already listed that bear witness to attitude over armaments.
