[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5732793, member: 177"] Stepping a bit back but... no-way, no-how. I think you vastly underestimate the logistics behind extending force. Those people have to be moved, supplied with gear, and, most importantly, fed. This Thanksgiving, it is estimated that 42 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home. And that travel is distributed over the entire nation, not all at one spot - it is spread through all the planes, trains, and highways, and it'll still be massively crowded. Now, try to move more than double the number of people, and put them all in one spot, so most of them are traveling a lot more than 50 miles. There is no place on the planet set up to handle that kind of influx in anything like short order. In addition, continuously move a hundred million gallons of water and a three hundred million pounds of food *EACH DAY* to those people. And, get all these people their guns, and medical care for when they've been rent asunder by an ogre... Oh, and move and feed all the people to support the fighters, as well. No. That's just not happening. [/QUOTE]
