    Eh, the idea of a foreign, or at least extra-continental military invading the U.S. has been pretty much a libidinal fantasy since like the Gadsden Purchase. The U.S. is just too goddamn big and its population centers too disparate for a land invasion to have sticking power.

    Hell even Lincoln recognized this:

    "All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide."
