I personally believe that the line from the immortal film "Platoon" sum's up the answer, "He's been shot seven times and he still ain't dead!, the only thing that can kill Barnes IS Barnes!"

Plus you forget one very important thing....I will never bend a knee to any man.....if war starts I will not surrender and will never quit....I will be defeated when I am dead, not before....and there are MILLIONS of Americans just like me....

Aww thats nice, If I see no point in continuing the fighting I would surrender and not a second before.

It can happen. It could happen. Just the right time in world history and anything can happen

Any given Sunday... like I said before... possible? Yes. Probable? No.

So improbable that you might as well say impossible.
The U.S. managed to defeat the might of the British army long before they had the technological superiority,huge arms manufacturing capability,massive well trained and well organised army,marines,air-force,navy that puts any others to shame,nukes,sattelites etc...
Now,in this day and age? Absolutely NO WAY unless as previously said the martians get p***ed off with them.
If they did the only saving graces would be no more series of "Friends" and no more Mariah Cary.

Can the U.S. be defeated?

Who can say?? Okay look. I personally believe that the U.S. is the most dominant military, economic, and political power on the face of the planet. BUt what does history tell us? Was it not believed that the battle of Trafalgar in 1588 would be an overwhelming Spanish victory? Was is believed that the U.S. could actually win its independance from a much stronger miliary? How about the mexican army defeating the french on cinco de mayo, or the afghans defeating the russians?

Granted, these are just small pieces of the giant picture we are talking about, but doesnt history seem to suggest that victory does not always lay in strength? IF we assume that we will be never defeated, than we will be.

Always play the game like you can lose.

I'm sure the Romans said similar things about 2000 years ago.
