US Army by a landslide!

Hmm, I see two problems for the US army.

Finding Liechstenstein, and fitting inside it.

I believe Lichtenstein has a superior guerilla force.

I think this campaign would probably start off with a "shock and awe" phase, in which two F-16s (one to actually hit the tagets, one to keep an eye out so they don't collide with any French Navy fighters that have gotten lost) take out the radio and TV stations, followed by a massive air insertion of a Montana National Guard mess platoon and 100 unarmed US Coast Guardsmen to pacify any remaining resistance on the ground. An allied force contingent of 500 British soccer hooligans would be present (although casualties sustained from friendly fire would make them combat ineffective soon after commencing operations) as well as 2 Australian SAS operatives who would promptly rack up a 500 to 1 kill ratio (even after fighting ceases) and 1 soldier from the Peacekeeping battalion of the Kazakhstan Army who would wander around asking "where the hell am I and why the hell am I here?"

The operation would cost a total of $80 billion, and Donald Rumsfield would quickly proclaim it to be an example of his 'lean war' concept in action against a determined and ruthless foe.

meh....Lichtenstein for the win.

LOL!!! So what it's small, we're talking army vs army here not guerilla warfare. The US army will crush them with all the M1A1's/M1A2's,N LOS cannons, MLRS,Strykers,etc etc etc. It's not even worth the US army's time.

astralis

but lichtenstein has the superior Butter launchers, vanilla mines, flour rifles...all in all a superior butter cookie force.

forget "china threat", we need to talk about bombing lichtenstein with our butter cookies now. before it's too late. after all...quantity is a quality of its own.

Shek

I've already sent the Pentagon the plan. We'll air drop some cattle with mad cow disease into Licthenstein, and once their herds are decimated and unable to produce milk, the butter cookies will be rendered harmless through the lack of milk to dip them in. Pure genius

Jay

What if they import cheap milk from Iran or China or Russia?

Shek

Blockade! Besides, milkmen are easy spot in their all white uniforms and white bowties and are certainly no match for .50 cal rounds. However, eliminating all the milkmen may not make the womenfolk with working husbands too happy.

Of course, if you invade Lichtenstein, you'll probably have to face their good buddies, the Swiss and Austrians, and if you want to talk about a guerilla force, man, those Swiss scare me. 600,000 militiamen on skis. Let's stick to bombing little places in the Balkans with no vowels in their name.

Excellent idea!!!!

Americans would drive past the place in 2minutes then stop and ask for direction in Germany once they get to find the place those cookies will be well armed to defeat the mighty Armored thrust that they are so good at gee they might even have a mini Vietnam for about 5minutes

Meh, by the time any of them get there the US Military would already have destroyed everything they were trying to defend and moved on to the next target. I don't rate a citizen's militia in this day and age unless their job is to hold off the enemy and tie them down long enough for a real army to come and drive them out, and in Switzerland's case, that army is nobody.
