   MONSTERS are attacking!! What now?!!
  I was just thinking about this from the well trained military thread.  What should we do, as the Earth, to construct the strongest single military possible?  So lets say aliens are attacking (and don't just assume they blow us up before we see them) and we need to fight back.  From what I can gather I say we should start by having America build some super advanced fighters and have the Canadians and British fly them, and probably Americans too 'cause we probably want a lot of guys in the air.What else?[edited by - Rixter on August 16, 2003 5:57:48 PM]
  If aliens are able to travel all the way to Earth, then I don''t think we should resist. Let''s just bow down to our superiors. ;  I say we let the mountaineers handle it. Done and done! ;  But they don''t want prisoners, or slaves, they want dead bodies. ;  Since we are probably the most evil and monstrous race in the universe, by the time aliens attack, we won''t have any trouble annihilating their entire species. Remember, evil always has the good technology. ;A military conflict would not occur in the sense that we are familiar. Even now, military strategies are evolving to the point where you never see your enemy. If aliens where attacking, we wouldn''t be aware of it.They would take an approach that would be subtle in nature. An incurable disease that only attacks humans. To make the race sterile or to turn us against ourselves. Since we are sitting on a powder keg already, it wouldn''t take much to make us self destruct.All these strategies involve patience which for a race traveling the between the stars would have plenty of. Maybe peace on the planet would be aginst their plans. Maybe then they would use more direct aggressive means.  ;  ...Ok fine, they aren't aliens, they're monsters that randomly began to exist on our planet.  And they eat people, destroy things, some fly, and some shoot missiles.  They are smarter than dinosaurs but dumber than aliens.  They are like Godzilla but don't regenerate, and aren't necessarily that big.   [edited by - Rixter on August 16, 2003 5:59:03 PM];  Destroy the crop circles! Destroy the crop circles! ;  Sounds like a job for Mr. Freeman.Or is it Dr. Freeman? If he's a scientist shouldn't he be Dr. Freeman? Or was it Dr. Freeman? I always remember hearing "Mr. Freeman." Maybe he was working on his doctorate while working as a test subject assistant guy-who-the-others-tell-to-poke-the-wasp-nest-to-see-if-anything-is-home.

We (can) breed like rabbits, we can live in any environment - I for one think there is nothing that can stop us once we are united!Btw, it will take about a couple of days before some scientists cook up new war-designs and inter-stellar travel for ourselves(Take the US for example, those people get real smart when they get angry/ under pressure)Nope, it'd be the worst mistake to make in the universe - ever, we're still stuck on our nice little planet, giving us the will and the means to the means is just plain suicide.
