Invasion of the US

I am a big fan of history and love specifically studying WWII. In the course of my studies, I have always wondered if the United States were invaded today. Where would it be and who would do the invasion. I think the answer to the second question is easier than the first. The People's Republic of China would be the most likely candidate. The first question is a little more tricky.

It would most likely be on the western seaboard. Because of the large ports as well as airports, the two best spots to invade would be Seattle or Los Angeles. Even caught by surprise, I think that the invaders would be in for one heck of a workout in order to secure a beachhead. They would be fought tooth and nail by the various military outfits stationed around those two areas.

The most interesting thing about a full on invasion is that it would most likely be fought for by the citizens of the United States. Washington has the largest number of unregistered handguns in the United States. Or if the Chinese went for LA, they would have to conquer Compton. Imagine the shootouts in that area. I doubt that most Americans would give up without a fight. It would be much like the insurgency in Iraq.
