Would 🌋Mordor resist United States Army ?

"the United state army with its thanks"

Not to further derail any legitimate debate here, but when I read that typo, I couldn't help but think of an exchange from the Marx Brothers film Duck Soup

Chico-"I'm not going out in battle unless I can go in one of those big metal things"

Groucho- "Tanks?"

Chico- "Your Welcome"

It went something very much like that.
 
The U.S. would get killed by Mordor. By the time they realized Sauron was attacking them half the country would be wiped out, our intelligence isn't the most intelligent, remember after 9/11: "oh yeah sorry everyone we saw that coming a few weeks ago but we forgot to do something about it, we didn't take it seriously", or something like that, our intelligence is a wee bit slow on the uptake it seems. And besides, Sauron would just stare at any attacking armies with his eye or send his nazgul out and they'd all get scared and run away, Mordor Definitely.
 
if the canadian army had weapons we would be very dangerous. i think the US would call the canadians for help.
 
If Mordor existed in this day and age and technology was allowed to progress there as well then possibly the United States could take on the United States Army because, Sauron would focus all his power on creating weapons of Mass destruction of the likes that we couldnt even dream of. we would be screwed. But if the United States Army were to enter the world of Middle-earth during the War of the Ring, Mordor would not stand a chance. We would bomb the **** out of them for months at a time and possibly use chemical and biological weapons wiping out all the orcs, the Nazgul would be shot out of the sky to land on the ground alive. Then armored divisions would sweep the lands of Mordor killing any survivors and Barad-dur would fall like a ice cream cone on a hot day. I bet this all could be accomplished in under a month too.
 
Uh...I think the magic of Sauron would prevail. His powers are both mighty and subtle. He turned many great men from the Numenorians, he would turn many of the US military. His powers would cause the bombs to do damage to their own masters, his words would twist the hearts of men against each other.

After all, he drove denethor to madness, and he is but a shadow of Morgoth who turned the heart of Feanor against the Valar.

And what use are bombs, when a keen mind and power could change the trajectory, rendering it harmless to his lands, and send it against the very people who launched it.
 
Tanks for the memories

>Do you think Mordor and Sauron's power would resist an attack from the United state army with its thanks<

You're welcome.

Sauron isn't stupid; he'd declare war on the US, surrender, and then apply for humanitarian aid to rebuild Mordor's infrastructure.
 
Thank you, krash8765, I have been reading this and was about to say the same thing. It really depends on whether or not Sauron was allowed to prepare for an attack by the US Army. If so, then I think he would win, because, as people have said, he would corrupt those in power and acquire the technology needed. But if the US Army were suddenly brought in to do battle, without Sauron being warned of its power, he would be wiped out and squashed like a bug. In all cases, he would atleast prove to be a very formidable enemy.
 
US Special Forces and Marines against Uruk Hai. The battle of all time. If the two dimensions fused at the same time America would win easily but if the two developed equally then who knows. But we all know that America is in reality Valinor and that our founding fathers are The Valar....just a little humor.

You mean there isn't one?

Or be taken prisoner and, because of his usefulness and twisting of minds, would direct the policy of the United States to its eventual destruction (as he did with Numenor. He was fair of face then, but political correctness rules now, and that's a great tool for manipulating the gullible)
 
Thank you Eledhwen you said exactly what I was going to do. Anyone think that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are so pure of heart that they would not be seduced by the evil whisperings of Sauron??

'Burn the White Tree of Telperion on the White House lawn, and I can give oil, power and eternal youth that LA cosmetic surgeons could never achieve...'

Come to think of it... Paul Wolfowitch... that's a pretty suspicious name. Are we sure it hasn't already happened?
