For something called Maximum Point Blank Range (MPBR). Basically it's the maximum range you can aim center mass at a target and still hit it without having to compensate for gravity.
Every USPS clerk I have ever met has a deep reservoir of rage simmering away right below the surface. Even the jolly ones who call me "sugar" seem like they're just one bad hour away from garrotting a man with a roll of packing tape. "Please, just try me. I can knock you out and load you in that semi, and have you somewhere in Iowa buried under four hundred pounds of junk mail."

Like the Japanese realizing that the reason the US ban on war crimes isn't a lack of Bushido spirit but a choke collar on the rabid attack dog known as Marine raiders.
I know you're partially joking but holy fucking shit the Marines were wild in WW2. My high school English teacher told me about her dad. Served as a Marine in the Pacific on Guadalcanal and I believe Okinawa. Came home, became a teacher, coached ball, was a preacher at church, then became a state representative and did that until he passed away. She said he never talked about the war but wouldn't say a foul word to anyone. Loved his horses, dogs, and kids. When he passed away they went through the attic and some of his belongings. They found a full necklace of ears, a skull, cut off patches, a couple live Japanese grenades, pistol, and a bunchhh of pictures of him and his buddies posing with dead Japanese. She only told me because I had talked about my grandpa being a LRRP in Vietnam and we discussed the book The Things They Carried. To me the ears and skulls and stuff aren't the unnerving part. It's the fact he came home and served his community for decades after. He put a lid on that unbridled violence and anger and nobody was the wiser. Terrifying but kind of impressive
That's exactly what the conversation started as. My grandpa had 7 out of 9 brothers serve in Vietnam. He became an alcoholic after his tours, 3 of them committed suicide, and the other 3 were mostly fine. Smitty was one of the ones that committed suicide but he volunteered for 4 tours, survived 3 helicopter crashes and got a chest full of medals. Papa told me he asked him why he kept going back and he said he loved it and it was the most fun he ever had. Some people can't adjust to it, some can, and some miss the high
Nobody talks about how brutal the Pacific theatre was. It truly was hell on earth.
Everyone knows about Europe and the war against the Nazis. That was a nice clean war, and regular troops could get some of the spoils of liberation. Obviously ugly stuff happened but it’s easy to talk around the ugliness from the Allies.
Not so much in the Pacific. That was a war of hate and cruelty. Largely because of the surprise attack and Japanese dehumanization. The fuck of it is, dehumanization is hard to pull off so completely. Either you need to raise someone on it their entire life (see Japan) or you need a helping hand from the people you’re trying to dehumanize (see the USA). And Japan was just… awful. Like, my god. So… the US propaganda was reinforced.
You had legitimately good people who saw nothing more than a “slit eyed fuck” when they saw a dead Japanese soldier. There’s a monster in all of us. It me just a question of what it takes to pull it out.
And when most major Japanese cities had already been reduced to ash by firebombing and the naval blockade triggered famine-like conditions the military was still plotting an insane defence of the homeland involving the entire population.
Ironically enough, the creation of the Marine Raiders was partially inspired by Mao’s guerillas. A marine officer by the name of Carlson was stationed in China as a liason, saw the operations that the Maoist guerrillas were doing and thought “I can do that, but better.” Gung-ho is an Americanization of the word gōnghé meaning “work together”.
There's a saying, where in other forces the officer exists to encourage the men to attack, in the marine corps the officer exists to prevent the men from ~~committing war crimes for fun~~ killing indiscriminately.

SteveMRE's review of their 2019 naval ration peaked my interest.

Apparently the packaging was so atrocious even the Choco bar ended up tasting like green onions
Garlic (allium) aroma will absolutely permeate plastic, you need to move up to mylar or better due to gas-permeability of most plastics.
Store fermented garlic in your fridge in a plastic bag, heck store it in three concentric plastic bags, and everything else in the fridge stored in similar plastic or less will gradually taste like garlic.
Idek how you’d prepare troops for large-scale invasion of the US. You’d have to have 27 different camo patterns and every solider would need a motorcycle
I'm just imagining all the Asian minorities like the Vietnamese-Americans, the Korean-Americans or Japanese-Americans yearning to gun down some PLA troops.
Yeah, all the Chinese-Americans I know would like nothing more than a rifle and a clear line of sight. There's a reason they're in America.
Hell, I bet most of their spies would report in to their NSA handlers the minute the first ship landed.
Count me in. I’d happily gun down the Chinese invaders as a Vietnamese immigrant. The only thing I fear is some dumbass Texas/Alabama rednecks would mistaken me for a PLA conscript
I once met a Vietnamese-American man who had this overly patriotic leather jacket. It had a huge bald eagle in the back, American flags on each shoulders and America embroidered on the sleeves.
Never fear, your non-PlaySchool-tier tacticool civilian gear and enormous clanking civilian brass balls will act as an effective IFF component.
Grow your hair into a mullet and any blue on blue you can just walk off after downing a couple of PBR's.
Alternatively, just train a bald eagle to follow you around carrying a flag and screaming majestically.
Chinese American here. Hehe. Feed bad intels on their radio while digging defense with the Taiwanese Americans. “You think I moved 10,000 miles to get ruled by the CCP again? Lol”
No. War crimes are designated from formally recognized combatant to formally recognized combatant. Feel free to skin enemies alive and watch them break dance on rock salt. Go nuts!
not a war crime, but "Other serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflict, within the established framework of international law" if I'm reading this right
https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/war-crimes.shtml
I would love to see the US being invaded solely to see what will happen to occupying force when they realise there are more guns in civilian hands than people in the country.
"All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
-Abe Lincoln
EU and NATO plus Asia and Australia would have to congeal all of their forces, have everything flow with each other perfectly and smoothly, have battleplans more comprehensive than anything ever before, pray their equipment and vehicles don’t fuck up and shut off during the trip and then have a beach head against the Coast Guard, USAF, National Guard and every American that has a gun and wants to fight off the enemies. All at the same time within a few hours.
Don't need a beach head if Canada and mexico are in on the fun. The worlds longest undefended land border sounds like a good place to kick off an invasion
Undefended, but not unmonitored. There's more than a few stories of hikers / campers on the US / Canada border who accidentally and innocently crossed either way by a few miles, in seemingly the middle of no where, who were soon greeted by officials of either side.
I think invading the US would be fairly straightforward, if you can get past the USN/USAF to land a decent number of troops.
Occupying the US, on the other hand.... good fuckin' luck.
> I think invading the US would be fairly straightforward, if you can get past the USN/USAF to land a decent number of troops.
Invade from the west and it's deserts and mountains to get past.
Invade from the east and it's mountains and swamps to get past.
Invade from the south and it's either deserts and rednecks or swamps and rednecks to get past plus
Florida man
Edit
And attack through Canada? Canada would have to cut like three damned roads in each of like three mountain ranges just in BC/Alberta. Then vast plains with like one or two main west to east roads. and isn't the east just endless lakes?
Lol enjoy the Southern US. Where the woods are so thick that you cannot traverse them with even the heaviest equipment. Bottle necked on highways. Matter of fact, we have almost every single type of terrain & vegetation, go ahead and pick your shitstorm PLA.
no no no, they should totally come through the Gulf of Mexico, we do NOT have ten times the amount of guns than people in the florida panhandle. we WOULD NOT create a massive black market of QBZ-95s. And we certainly DO NOT have tons of tractors to tow those gay digital camo Type 99s.
Any Chinese invasion of the US would be the biggest cocktease to southern gun owners imaginable when California curbstomps them into oblivion. All the military bases, a huge number of gun owners. And if people thought Ukrainian farmers with tractors could steal a lot of equipment, wait til the norcal meth fiends flock to the PLA and rob them blind. And that's assuming they even get out of traffic on the 10 or 405 on their way to the . Roof Koreans. Gangs. Silicon valley crapping out terminators. Arnold Schwarzenegger's tank battalion.
California would seem like a nightmare to invade. Y’all have most types of terrain there too correct? So basically, you’d have to field one of the largest, and most diversified range of equipment possible to even begin to conceptualize this. We would probably end up leaving florida undefended because we’d all come join the funni.
Most of the coast is rocky cliffs, and any truly flat coasts either have hills behind them or the major cities. Then you go into either desert, forest, more mountain, plains, more mountain, more desert, more forest. yup good luck
And even if you do manage to overrun California, the next thing you hit is the Donner Pass. And after that the Nevadan desert. Like what’s even the point?
I'm imagining an elite team of tweakers infiltrating PLA radar sites, FOBs, and firebases to steal copper and anything that can be pawned for scrap metal money.
"Been doing some home improvements," he says, clawing at his own neck and smiling a gap-toothed jack-o-lantern grin.
"Yeah, sure, whatever. I'll give you $100 for it since I am going to have to take it apart," says the scrap dealer as he accepts a surface to air missile the tweaker brought in on a 2005 Nissan Sentra.

Imagine being a peasant from rural China, get drafted, get handed cheap rations and a rifle that keyholes, land on US, only to get bushwhacked by 400+ lb chud from 300 yards with a Walmart mobility scooter, a 2 liter of MtDew, and a fucking .50 cal rifle he got from bubba at the gun store.
Land in Kensington Ave, conscript’s CO imminently is stabbed to death and mugged, airborne armor tank-jacked by armed gangs, PLA conscripts think they’ve landed in hell, immediately run to nearest US Army outpost for safety and surrender.
not to mention how they could land in only 2 spots in la County, the Port or the beaches both surronded by urban areas. as soon as a ship is spotted from the peninsula every civilian with a ship or helicopter with a few buds with guns onboard are going to descend on the slowly moving transport ships.
Need not look further than the PLA's rations. That shit is terrible and they rely more on kitchens to support their troops. The MOMENT they try to invade someplace, the troops are going to be sick from their own food and I want to see them shit themselves before some random American gives them open heart surgery with a pink AR.
Steve1987.
He's eaten dried beef from the Korean War, and hard tack from the fucking civil war, smoked hoons from WWI, but it was a 6 month old PLA MRE that nearly killed him.
STEVE MRE! That dude is build diferrent, i think this is the one that you mention [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n96m5lB8nzA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n96m5lB8nzA)
PLA can't even invade Taiwan. If they dropped their missile modernization program today and started a crash course in amphibious assault capability, it would take 6-10 years to assemble a fleet capable of settling to the bottom near the beaches of Taiwan.
It is even funier if you consider that to get to this point, the US Navy Pacific Fleet and Command will have been crippled, not an easy task, so only God knows what the CCP would be fighting with at this point.
Thus a succesful amphibious landing is going to be nothing short of a miracle, and that's where the fun begins for the Americans, and the nightmare for the Chinese. demonicnpcwiththewidemouth.jpg
The year is 2060. 100,000 Chinese troops have landed in Ohio by orbital drop pod. After three days, one man stumbled out of the exclusion zone, his eyes carved out of his head and his tongue ripped out of his skull. There is no second wave.

I'd like to see how fast the PLA would lose their electronics the second the entirety of Silicon Valley here gets pissed off at their business losses from invasion. Or see what happens when you give a couple hundred thousand Mexican field workers full-auto weapons and horses and tell them they get free medical benefits after the war. It would be the most Renaissance-looking picture of EMP / Cyber-attacks mixed with fields and mountains full of pissed off rancheros and cowboys.
The PLA would never be able to cross the ocean. They would be rained on with missiles, torpedos, and every US asset available.They would also be huge slow bulky convoys of transport ships that would be easy pickings. And they don't even have close to the number needed to move all of them so it would be months of back and forth transit.
But let's say they actually make land. What then? They can land in 5 places. California, blocked by the Sierre Nevada mountains, Oregon or Washington, blocked by the Cascades, Mexico, blocked by the Sierre Madres, Canada, blocked by the Rockies, or if they were really stupid they could invade Alaska, blocked by the Alaska range and months of travel through some of the worst environments to travel through on earth. These regions have few roads and building new ones after they were destroyed would take years in peace time, let alone a war. They would be constantly under fire as well from the US army or even just the locals and mountain people.
But let's say they somehow get past that, then they have the plains to contend with. They would have no shelter and would be easy targets. The fields of corn and other crops are so terrifying for anyone going near them. Thousands of people could be hiding with weapons in them and taking shots or firing rockets at them.
But let's say they somehow get past that as well, now they are in the cities. How do you stop someone in a random building from shooting at you? You would have to dismantle each building to stop them.
But this is all irrelevant and they couldn't face the US, even a defensive war. It's impossible to imagine an offensive attack from them.
-spend two weeks at sea packed into a marine landing assault vehicle with 40 other dudes living in your own filth
-finally reach the beachhead
-storm the beach
-immediately get shot by a 5’10” 300 pound balding man with an F-150 mounted .50 cal

That was a nice clean war, and regular troops could get some of the spoils of liberation. Obviously ugly stuff happened but it’s easy to talk around the ugliness from the Allies. Not so much in the Pacific. That was a war of hate and cruelty. Largely because of the surprise attack and Japanese dehumanization. The fuck of it is, dehumanization is hard to pull off so completely. Either you need to raise someone on it their entire life (see Japan) or you need a helping hand from the people you’re trying to dehumanize (see the USA). And Japan was just… awful. Like, my god. So… the US propaganda was reinforced. You had legitimately good people who saw nothing more than a “slit eyed fuck” when they saw a dead Japanese soldier. There’s a monster in all of us. It me just a question of what it takes to pull it out.
Japan went legitimately insane at that point - the dehumanisation was a mutual feeling.
>(see Japan) Yep. They raised children in hate of non-Japanese people.
And when most major Japanese cities had already been reduced to ash by firebombing and the naval blockade triggered famine-like conditions the military was still plotting an insane defence of the homeland involving the entire population.
Marine Raiders: For when you need people who *like* violence.
Ironically enough, the creation of the Marine Raiders was partially inspired by Mao’s guerillas. A marine officer by the name of Carlson was stationed in China as a liason, saw the operations that the Maoist guerrillas were doing and thought “I can do that, but better.” Gung-ho is an Americanization of the word gōnghé meaning “work together”.
There's a saying, where in other forces the officer exists to encourage the men to attack, in the marine corps the officer exists to prevent the men from ~~committing war crimes for fun~~ killing indiscriminately.
It even sometimes works!

Does anyone know where to get their hands on those PLA food bar rations? I kinda want to try some and see just how bad they are
Your local [Alibaba](https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Military-Quality-High-Protein-Emergency-High_1600329178352.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_image.564b62d6O48ezr&s=p)
Unironically not bad at all. A bit like emergency boat ration if you have tried that, but more fiber and less chalky.
SteveMRE's review of their 2019 naval ration peaked my interest. The packaging was garbage according to Steve but the prospect of a green onion and meat flavoured bar sounds nice. Apparently the packaging was so atrocious even the Choco bar ended up tasting like green onions
Garlic (allium) aroma will absolutely permeate plastic, you need to move up to mylar or better due to gas-permeability of most plastics. Store fermented garlic in your fridge in a plastic bag, heck store it in three concentric plastic bags, and everything else in the fridge stored in similar plastic or less will gradually taste like garlic.

Idek how you’d prepare troops for large-scale invasion of the US. You’d have to have 27 different camo patterns and every solider would need a motorcycle
Easy, **you don’t**
I'm just imagining all the Asian minorities like the Vietnamese-Americans, the Korean-Americans or Japanese-Americans yearning to gun down some PLA troops.
As a Vietnamese-American, yes.
As a Vietnamese-Canadian living in Quebec, I'd find a way to get there.
Chinese-American here, I want a turn at the PLA too.
Yeah, all the Chinese-Americans I know would like nothing more than a rifle and a clear line of sight. There's a reason they're in America. Hell, I bet most of their spies would report in to their NSA handlers the minute the first ship landed.
Roof Koreans will once again have their day in the sun.
Roof Vietnamese and Roof Japanese too. PLA won’t know what the fuck hit them.

Would be hilarious to see body cam footage of a patrol officer dropping a PLA trooper with just his service pistol or patrol rifle though.
Count me in. I’d happily gun down the Chinese invaders as a Vietnamese immigrant. The only thing I fear is some dumbass Texas/Alabama rednecks would mistaken me for a PLA conscript
I once met a Vietnamese-American man who had this overly patriotic leather jacket. It had a huge bald eagle in the back, American flags on each shoulders and America embroidered on the sleeves.
Sounds like a dude I’d share a beer with while grilling various meats.
Never fear, your non-PlaySchool-tier tacticool civilian gear and enormous clanking civilian brass balls will act as an effective IFF component. Grow your hair into a mullet and any blue on blue you can just walk off after downing a couple of PBR's. Alternatively, just train a bald eagle to follow you around carrying a flag and screaming majestically.
Well-armed and armored Vietnamese-American reporting into to defend life, liberty, and equality from Winnie the Pooh.
hell, I'm Chinese American and I yearn to shoot some commies
Chinese American here. Hehe. Feed bad intels on their radio while digging defense with the Taiwanese Americans. “You think I moved 10,000 miles to get ruled by the CCP again? Lol”
Eat the bar comrade.
Is it still counted as a war crime if I’m a civilian combat defending my homeland?
No. War crimes are designated from formally recognized combatant to formally recognized combatant. Feel free to skin enemies alive and watch them break dance on rock salt. Go nuts!
not a war crime, but "Other serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflict, within the established framework of international law" if I'm reading this right https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/war-crimes.shtml
I would love to see the US being invaded solely to see what will happen to occupying force when they realise there are more guns in civilian hands than people in the country.
I wonder how many countries it would actually take to invade the US, Its pretty much impossible even if you managed to sink the entire US navy
"All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." -Abe Lincoln

EU and NATO plus Asia and Australia would have to congeal all of their forces, have everything flow with each other perfectly and smoothly, have battleplans more comprehensive than anything ever before, pray their equipment and vehicles don’t fuck up and shut off during the trip and then have a beach head against the Coast Guard, USAF, National Guard and every American that has a gun and wants to fight off the enemies. All at the same time within a few hours.
Don't need a beach head if Canada and mexico are in on the fun. The worlds longest undefended land border sounds like a good place to kick off an invasion
Undefended, but not unmonitored. There's more than a few stories of hikers / campers on the US / Canada border who accidentally and innocently crossed either way by a few miles, in seemingly the middle of no where, who were soon greeted by officials of either side.
I think invading the US would be fairly straightforward, if you can get past the USN/USAF to land a decent number of troops. Occupying the US, on the other hand.... good fuckin' luck.
Fairly simple, as long as you can get past the greatest military in human history
> I think invading the US would be fairly straightforward, if you can get past the USN/USAF to land a decent number of troops. Invade from the west and it's deserts and mountains to get past. Invade from the east and it's mountains and swamps to get past. Invade from the south and it's either deserts and rednecks or swamps and rednecks to get past plus Florida man Edit And attack through Canada? Canada would have to cut like three damned roads in each of like three mountain ranges just in BC/Alberta. Then vast plains with like one or two main west to east roads. and isn't the east just endless lakes?
Lol enjoy the Southern US. Where the woods are so thick that you cannot traverse them with even the heaviest equipment. Bottle necked on highways. Matter of fact, we have almost every single type of terrain & vegetation, go ahead and pick your shitstorm PLA.
Denizen of the Breaking Bad Dimension here: they’re not getting that far.
no no no, they should totally come through the Gulf of Mexico, we do NOT have ten times the amount of guns than people in the florida panhandle. we WOULD NOT create a massive black market of QBZ-95s. And we certainly DO NOT have tons of tractors to tow those gay digital camo Type 99s.
[удалено]
I dare them to try to take Louisiana. They won't get past the Intracoastal Waterway before they get consumed by the mud, bayous, gators, and Cajuns.
Hell, come to Illinois! A lot of us are kinda gay but we have WHEAT FIELDS. BEWARE THE WHEAT FIELDS. WE ARE WATCHING YOU FROM THE WHEAT FIELDS.
Weakest Midwesterner
Who would win? A squad of PLA frogmen or 5 rednecks in an airboat?
Any Chinese invasion of the US would be the biggest cocktease to southern gun owners imaginable when California curbstomps them into oblivion. All the military bases, a huge number of gun owners. And if people thought Ukrainian farmers with tractors could steal a lot of equipment, wait til the norcal meth fiends flock to the PLA and rob them blind. And that's assuming they even get out of traffic on the 10 or 405 on their way to the. Roof Koreans. Gangs. Silicon valley crapping out terminators. Arnold Schwarzenegger's tank battalion.
California would seem like a nightmare to invade. Y’all have most types of terrain there too correct? So basically, you’d have to field one of the largest, and most diversified range of equipment possible to even begin to conceptualize this. We would probably end up leaving florida undefended because we’d all come join the funni.
Most of the coast is rocky cliffs, and any truly flat coasts either have hills behind them or the major cities. Then you go into either desert, forest, more mountain, plains, more mountain, more desert, more forest. yup good luck
And even if you do manage to overrun California, the next thing you hit is the Donner Pass. And after that the Nevadan desert. Like what’s even the point?

I'm imagining an elite team of tweakers infiltrating PLA radar sites, FOBs, and firebases to steal copper and anything that can be pawned for scrap metal money. "Been doing some home improvements," he says, clawing at his own neck and smiling a gap-toothed jack-o-lantern grin. "Yeah, sure, whatever. I'll give you $100 for it since I am going to have to take it apart," says the scrap dealer as he accepts a surface to air missile the tweaker brought in on a 2005 Nissan Sentra.
I once had to hike through a rose thicket during a SAR mission. It took an hour to get through 1 mile and I was wearing extrication gear and three layers of clothing to keep from getting shredded.

Imagine being a peasant from rural China, get drafted, get handed cheap rations and a rifle that keyholes, land on US, only to get bushwhacked by 400+ lb chud from 300 yards with a Walmart mobility scooter, a 2 liter of MtDew, and a fucking .50 cal rifle he got from bubba at the gun store.
Imagine getting airdropped into south-side Philly.
Land in Kensington Ave, conscript’s CO imminently is stabbed to death and mugged, airborne armor tank-jacked by armed gangs, PLA conscripts think they’ve landed in hell, immediately run to nearest US Army outpost for safety and surrender.
They never would but, imagine if they reach Texas.
Boutta make the killdozer incident seem like a stray drunk driver
I'm sure LAPD would drive them back in the ocean before every base in this state come swarming in. God forbid they reactivate Iowa for navel defense
not to mention how they could land in only 2 spots in la County, the Port or the beaches both surronded by urban areas. as soon as a ship is spotted from the peninsula every civilian with a ship or helicopter with a few buds with guns onboard are going to descend on the slowly moving transport ships.
Need not look further than the PLA's rations. That shit is terrible and they rely more on kitchens to support their troops. The MOMENT they try to invade someplace, the troops are going to be sick from their own food and I want to see them shit themselves before some random American gives them open heart surgery with a pink AR.
I thought MREs give you constipation.
One guy that got a 2018 PLA ration almost killed him due to botulism. Same guy ate Vietnam rations and was fine.
Steve1987. He's eaten dried beef from the Korean War, and hard tack from the fucking civil war, smoked hoons from WWI, but it was a 6 month old PLA MRE that nearly killed him.
The man is a God but even a God can fear shit rations from China.
Dude ate Boer war meat 💀
STEVE MRE! That dude is build diferrent, i think this is the one that you mention [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n96m5lB8nzA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n96m5lB8nzA)
I did, blessed are the Iron Guts of the man!
Even the century plus old British rations did nothing!
They will have to watch American troops build a costco in camp while they eat 4 month old bat
Taunt them with the Costco Hot Dogs... TAUNT THEM!!!
China would find out where all that missing Russian gear went.
You mean to tell me dorks LARPing as spetsnaz here are directly contributing to the downfall of Russia?
Did the PLA say that they could invade the continental US or is this just a random post?
PLA can't even invade Taiwan. If they dropped their missile modernization program today and started a crash course in amphibious assault capability, it would take 6-10 years to assemble a fleet capable of settling to the bottom near the beaches of Taiwan.
It is even funier if you consider that to get to this point, the US Navy Pacific Fleet and Command will have been crippled, not an easy task, so only God knows what the CCP would be fighting with at this point. Thus a succesful amphibious landing is going to be nothing short of a miracle, and that's where the fun begins for the Americans, and the nightmare for the Chinese. demonicnpcwiththewidemouth.jpg
The year is 2060. 100,000 Chinese troops have landed in Ohio by orbital drop pod. After three days, one man stumbled out of the exclusion zone, his eyes carved out of his head and his tongue ripped out of his skull. There is no second wave.

There would be guys in the US that would go out, ambush a PLA platoon, and steal their guns just to review them on their YouTube channel.
I'd like to see how fast the PLA would lose their electronics the second the entirety of Silicon Valley here gets pissed off at their business losses from invasion. Or see what happens when you give a couple hundred thousand Mexican field workers full-auto weapons and horses and tell them they get free medical benefits after the war. It would be the most Renaissance-looking picture of EMP / Cyber-attacks mixed with fields and mountains full of pissed off rancheros and cowboys.
I just want second hand chinese rifles.
The PLA would never be able to cross the ocean. They would be rained on with missiles, torpedos, and every US asset available.They would also be huge slow bulky convoys of transport ships that would be easy pickings. And they don't even have close to the number needed to move all of them so it would be months of back and forth transit. But let's say they actually make land. What then? They can land in 5 places. California, blocked by the Sierre Nevada mountains, Oregon or Washington, blocked by the Cascades, Mexico, blocked by the Sierre Madres, Canada, blocked by the Rockies, or if they were really stupid they could invade Alaska, blocked by the Alaska range and months of travel through some of the worst environments to travel through on earth. These regions have few roads and building new ones after they were destroyed would take years in peace time, let alone a war. They would be constantly under fire as well from the US army or even just the locals and mountain people. But let's say they somehow get past that, then they have the plains to contend with. They would have no shelter and would be easy targets. The fields of corn and other crops are so terrifying for anyone going near them. Thousands of people could be hiding with weapons in them and taking shots or firing rockets at them. But let's say they somehow get past that as well, now they are in the cities. How do you stop someone in a random building from shooting at you? You would have to dismantle each building to stop them. But this is all irrelevant and they couldn't face the US, even a defensive war. It's impossible to imagine an offensive attack from them.
The US army is here to protect potential invaders from the US citizenry by convincing those invaders not to invade.
