Default Red Dawn: Would You Fight?

I just saw the new one. I loved the old one. Lets say that this actually happened...

Of course, better to do something rather than accept the alternative.

I'd kill every SOB that I even suspected of being the Bad Guy or a sympathizer/traitor!

I would hide, keep my family safe and stay away from anything and everything. If something happens to my family at their hands, and I am alone, then my life is forfeit and I would take as many of them with me as I could.


Kind of reminds me of somewhere right about now...hmmmm....

It depends on a multitude of factors. First and foremost being "What would be best for the Terran People as a whole?" I care little about the well being of petty nationstates when speaking of the health of Humanity. For all we know the conquerors could bring about a golden age and all the "Bad-guying" was just nationalist propaganda.

If they truly were bad then it'd be mostly about laying low and finding a way to usurp the conquerors, probably from within. Throwing your life away five minutes into the resistance is pointless, even if you want to go around shooting people while screaming "DEY TURK OUR LANDS".

I'd fight against Redbone Dawn, or at least sign an internet petition to secede.

"Secede to succeed" would be quite the catchy slogan.

I'd probably have to stand on principle and fight against Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen. So, I would welcome our new Russian overlords in that pursuit.

1984's Red Dawn was, to me, the most ridiculous 114 minutes of cinema that I have ever seen and I'm including Fearless Frank (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061654/). From what I have read in reviews, the new Red Dawn is a ridiculous update of that already ridiculous original.

I have to disagree. But it comes very close.

Well, if something threatened my family, homeland and way of life, heck yeah I'd have to fight!

...on the other hand, my homeland and family are Russian, and I have at least somewhat socialist political leanings, so you do the math on Red Dawn

I'd fight for my country and my community and although i'd probably die horribly I will not be one of those weak souls who'd abide a foreign military occupation. Death to tyrants and traitors!

I would gladly fight, I would gladly kill, I would gladly bleed, I would gladly die for my country and its people. Never giving up, never giving in. If my country goes under, then so do I.

Well if I had to see the new one I'd likely be fighting too. Oh you meant.....
