@mrmattimation I don't think recalling the troops would be such a big issue. Most of the troops could probably be redeployed on the mainland in a matter of days/weeks, and in a month all equipment would be back. The issue lies more in the fact that most of the action has been against guerrilla combatants and underequiped armies, since the country has been fighting resource wars overseas for a couple decades now, and the population in general only hears stories of wars. Usually, the countries that survive land invasions are those that are used to wars on their own land and the society in general is aware of what war is like. Afghanistan is a good example, they've been fighting wars with one or another country for their lands and resources for the last what, 30 or 40 years? The other kind of country that has good chances is the type Switzerland belongs to, in which the biggest portion of the population is trained in defensive warfare on their geography. And then there's nukes of course.
