Invaded Town?

If you ask anyone what they would do if someone tried to rape them, most everyone would answer "fight back!" But would they really? Really? I know that I wouldn't. I would get upset and angry, but I don't think that I would have the guts to fight back. But before you really decide you must weigh out the options... if you decided to fight back then you will get hurt and mostly the man (or woman) will pull a weapon on you and you will be dead. No more to that side of the story, your dead, it's the end. However, if you silently fight back by taking in detail of the event and the attacker then you can use the information later to fully fight back against the attacker with help from other such as cops. That is the same thing as an invaded town. If you fight back, you will get hurt. To some, fighting back is just the way to handle the situation, like how Alex killed a soldier yet said that if he had the chance he would do it again. I am not like that a lot. I am more of a "silent but deadly" person. The town as a whole isn't physically fighting back, but mentally and emotionally they are. Their work is getting done, but it's getting done on the communities time frame, not the invaders. I think that by doing this, the town is "waiting" the soldiers out, and I think that it will become more effective then starting a little war within the town.

  2. I think that your right, but I don't see the harm in imagining that you would fight back. When you are in extreme positions you tend to revert to instinct. If daydreaming worst case scenarios can give you even the least real world preparation it would be well worth it.

    Plus if you die as a hero in defense of your country, it is a safe bet that your death will inspire others to resist. You could be far more influential in death then in life.

  3. I agree that the town hasn't outright rebelled yet like in the american revolution. I think that your right, that is the problem for the enemy is the rebellion is introverted within the people.

  4. I also agree with your idea. An open rebellion would only cause more problems. Doing things quiety, under the rader, secretly gaining information and stregnth and understanding your enemy before you take them on is the best way to go if you do choose to fight back.
