If America declares war, it won't be like an action in Vietnam or Iraq. The politicians were fighting those. When the theater commanders take over, there is no way to predict an outcome of a war with America. WWII was the last one and I think most people know how that came out. Of course, that is taking into account an allied effort.

No way!

Of course..!

How the dingbat did all of you get wrapped around the axle discussing a topic that makes about as much sense as the discussion of how many angels you could put on the head of a pin.

Talk about crazy.

The ONLY way this country COULD be attacked from four directions at once would be if the rest of the world were to be overrun by some "power" and then that power was turned on the United States. Before that could happen - the United States would already be fully involved in the fight.

Nuclear winter would be just a short step away.
Before the US were overrun - ALL weapons would be released (BELIEVE IT).

Quite true! The US will not sit and wait!

no empire can't be defeated

You are correct - as far as you went.

There IS one possible way for the United States to be defeated...

-THAT'S FROM WITHIN -

If the invasion comes from outside our borders, nuclear winter is not far behind -
the US will NOT stand by and be destroyed without taking the rest of the world with it.
WOULD YOU?

Yes, but you are also taking into account that the America of 1942 is the same America of 20XX.

There may no longer be such a thing as "a war that the politicians don't fight". Any further enemy isn't going to be as stupid as Hitler, that enemy is going to attack our politicians perhaps even more than our millitary.

Remember that now-a-days "millitary drafts" are talked about in terms of national need but rather or political viability.

Seperating politics from war is an ancient concept that only works when your enemy is too stupid to see the vulnerabilities inherent in a democracy.

What if those foreigners that have gained entry or have became US citizens are all soliders in disguise, then one fine day, The take up weapons and start to attack the America from within!
