[quote=@Wade Wilson] Well, it's not that bad. Just me and Tyler trying to fend off criticism towards the story. Also, I don't think there's anything to rework. After all, it's [i]your[/i] idea, and it just seems unfair that you should be disheartened because of [i]someone else's[/i] opinion. [/quote] Alice's criticism is relevant, and factual. A million men could never take America. No more than America could take Russia in the winter. With the current rate of population growth, and with the advanced tech of the future (I'm just saying that if we get to the end of the 21st century, we found a way to get recyclable energy, limit the climate change, get more water and food, etc.) We'd have a population boom, and it's not uncanny that we'd have 10 billion people on our planet by then. A million soldiers couldn't possibly take America. Not without dropping nuclear bombs and the like. China alone would have a billion and a half of people by then. (Don't they already?) Numbers like a hundred million, or even a billion soldiers would be enough to overrun America. On the other side of the fence, China has the fastest growing Economy, Asia is a superpower on the rise. And a united Asia would be terrifying now. Even more so in 80 years. Those are my 25 cents, at least.
