THE ANSWER IS THE WAR OF 1812

     It's been a long time since this country has been invaded by a military force bent on conquering it and it was that thought which had me wondering. Let's say it happened again, the United States comes under invasion from a powerful and serious enemy, how many people do you think would take advantage of the situation to settle some old scores and blame it on the invaders? I have to believe it's somewhere between "more than a few" and "less than a lot". Sure, sure...the survival of our great nation is at stake but then again, that's what the military and militias are for, right? Meanwhile you know some asshole has been holding a grudge against his neighbor for like twenty years because he built a fence tall enough to block his view of the valley or maybe that neighbor who stole your husband away from you? That bully who picked on you mercilessly at school every day? That jogger who didn't pick up her dog's leavings? That guy who cut you off on your way to the supermarket? You can't tell me NO ONE would take advantage of this...
