So i watched my collectors edition of Red Dawn, and while entertaining in that 80s kinda way, the whole scenario seemed kinda hilarious. I mean why would a russian paratrooper squad shoot up a school teacher as their first act on the ground? Id think schools would be ignored and the city center would be the focus.

Why not?
Shows they ain't fuckkin round....
-
I dunno it just seems dumb, almost as dumb as a bunch of moron kids learning to take out platoons of russian soldiers with armor over the span of a few months
-
we all know that if any take over were to occur, the first act would be a nuclear explosion in NYC or L.A. Then, the Russians would take over government buildings. They wouldn't be killing civilians like that because then why would they be taking the country over? They need our workforce for slave labor AT LEAST.

The thing is if that ever happened the entire US would have been super-mobilized for it. Assuredly, it would have meant that NATO had been pushed out of the Fulda Gap and Warsaw Pact mechanized armor/infantry were literally marching across free Europe. If that had happened in the Cold War-certainly glad it never did, since it would have certainly escalated to a strategic nuclear exchange-the entire US would be doing full war mobilization and partisan training.
It's totally not plausible, of course. The geopolitical situation that would enable such events and logistics required for them to be possible were just not ever realistic.
It's a fun movie nonetheless. As for shooting people as soon as they hit the ground, that could be VERY intentional-secure the area being job one if you are dropping in and planning to hold the immediate area.

I think that we are suposed to believe that they are able to learn that with the help of the jet pilot guy who joins them at some point
-
Could it happen? Fuck, Republicans WANTED it to happen.
-
Shuri: They did all that before Jet Pilot guy joined.
