  1. If we’re getting invaded I think the Government will have bigger fish to fry. And seeing how an invasion on American soil is unprecedented I think any help they can get would be welcome no matter who it is. But in that event we would fall under martial law and yes as a civilian it would be illegal. So if we get invaded go to your nearest recruiter and tell them to sign you up and get your parents to sign a note.


  2. You would be considered an insurgent or guerrilla warfare operator.

    You would not be eligible to be treated according to the Geneva convention.

  3. Since you wouldn't be a member of any armed force with a chain of command, would not be wearing a distinctive uniform and brandishing a weapon openly, you could be executed as an illegal combatant under the Laws of Land Warfare (Geneva Conventions).
