In a "Red Dawn" Situation Would The Youth of America Rise To The Occaision And Fight?

no, they'd rub their cunts and check their facebook

Only the kids of the 80's.

Not a chance.

Shit, 25+ (not to date myself too much) years ago, I remember running around the neighborhood with the kids who's parents had let the watch that film. We all had our plan put together on how we were going to handle the Russian attack on AmeriKa...but keep in mind Nintendo hadn't hit the market yet, cable TV was for the wealthy, and much of Americas youth was still physically fit.

I think most that live and were raised in the country would, maybe 1\4 of urban raised might. Depends on how they were raised,values,morals,etc. Although without some form of basic training,they wont lasy very long...

Na they with along most of Americans would probably just end up killing each other in the panic of such an attack. Most deaths in the first 72 hours I expect would be from riots, people stealing from each other, ect.

Unless nukes are use or the invaders just shoot and kill every thing that moves.

When growing up in the 80's my friends and I would reenact the scene where they were chasing the girl through the field and we would pop out of our fox holes and all. Oh the good ole days!

A few weeks ago, I would have thought the same thing. But I went hunting with a co-worker last weekend and his son (9 years old) already knows how to run the WHOLE farm by himself. I didn't think kids like that existed any more.

There is hope.

Most kids coming up in this gen are worthless.

Answer to your question = nope

Thanks to bad parenting and video games (modern warfare, black ops, battlefield) most boys as young as 10 are damn near battle ready. A few months tops with basic training and range practice and they're good to go. In a red dawn scenario it wouldn't take long for them to apply their gaming skills to the real world. The violence and realism of these games has already prepared them mentally.

Yes, the majority of you are underestimating something called "instinct". It is in our blood, they would rise up and fight - if for anything, their own survival. But I think there would be many selfless youth who would fight for the sake of protecting others as well.

My kid and his buddies would, but they are all homeschooled farm kids. Kids that ride, rope, buck hay, and don't facebook. Most of these kids from GenY, Millennials, and GenX would capitulate so fast Moscow would be able to import Vodka fast enough.

You can thank their hippy, liberal, boomer parents for the demise of the USA. They raised us to be vacuous, so most of us are!

Nope! Most would surrender in less than a heartbeat after "Breaking their nail".

They will join the communist legions as today democracy is a farce ...

They will love the free medical care free university , free housing & secure jobs a socialist democratic based govermebt can offer ....

(END)

Come Do a POLL !

Land in Compton.
Land in Skid Row.
Land in West Chicago.
Land in Blood Alley.
Land in Detroit.
Land in Southern GA.
Land in anywhere in the Southern U.S. [RedNecks]

Suburbanites would be of no use, but if there is anything that can get the rural and urban youths to unite, it's a bunch of stupid jackasses for nowhere trying to take their possessions and land away.

American teens are jerks.
American teens with weapons are punks.
American teens with weapons and a purpose are possibly the most dangerous thing in existence.

Christ, I ran into a guy from high school at Woodland Hills in Tulsa. He was a basketball and baseball player, ran track with me one year. He is married to some twentysomething dipshit and he was making fun of the scar under my and my son's cheek.

"Look they, match honey."

According to a former schoolmate, he is now 'metrosexual'.

"I heard you still do a little boxing. Aren't you going to grow up?" He actually asked me that!


I just shrugged and replied, "Well, it's Muay Thai. It's kickboxing."

His wife commented on my Hobart welding ball cap, she said, with a smart ass tone, "That hat looks like it's seen better days. You know they have a ball hat store in the mall."

Without missing a beat, I said, "Nah, they just sell those flat brimmed 'gangsta' wanna-be hats, this one will do me another ten, fifteen years."

They both just sort of stared at me blankly. The rest of the conversation was as shallow as a wading pool at waterpark.

Good luck with shaving your chest hair and your mani/pedis, Trent.

That's one positive aspect to Call of Duty. They have group problem solving skills!

I truly believe that they would surrender to their own deaths rather than actually doing anything.Most now want the world, but only if it is given to them. They do NOT want to put forth the effort to even save their poor miserable lives, because it doesn't really matter, you can't do anything about it.

You've never seen how much work goes in to drug and weapons trafficking.
Not even the most powerful military in the world can put a dent in that.
And it's mostly done with teenagers.
Things change when the only people you "trust" constantly have a gun in your face.

Younger people have more of an instinct for self-survival. It would be the older people (but not too old) that would take the risks necessary for resistance, because older people don't have as much to lose.

Teen angst = Deadly weapon

It's the earlier generations that would be completely useless.
A group of teens can destroy a metropolis now.
A group of adults from my generation couldn't take a village in an hour while in their prime.

They already are.
They're called "Anonymous."

Of course, you never mention that refusing to work for them is death, and working with them is death. But then, how many of them are American kids?

:peewee:

No there would be a few kids that would just try and cause a bit of chaos. Not for country though, but that would be it.

And just how many are warriors and how many are keyboard warriors?

Nailed it

there are many who would rise to the occasion.

and some would falter.

i have worked side by side with several generations of teens now.

the kids are the same.

the times have changed.

That is true, but they will still need an older person help guide them and keep them directed towards the one goal.
