that is funny, and I'm sure thats exactly what the German people thought of Hitler and the military going into other countries. I'm sure you think that the U.S. going into Iraq was for the protection of the world/USA? just like some think Hitler going into other countries like Russia was for the protection of the Third Reich/Germany.

Thanks, glad you liked my joke, now put up your convertible top because it's cold outside

Can you imagine if you took all that red and actually made it in propotion to what is actually deployed and what the actual number of bases it would appear not as impressive.

so that makes it okay then.

Germany should ally herself with Russia and China, and divide the world between themselves. Technology(Germany)+Raw material(Russia)+manpower(China)=A new era

Didn't say it was . You just posted some peacenik propaganda from 5 years ago that all. May I ask what that has to do with a "What If" scenario of a invasion of the US in WWII?

I was referring to the awesome picture of the Nazis marching across the white house lawn, it said 'American Invasion', so I posted that map thing to say; "talk about an American invasion", that's all. IronCross, that sounds like a great idea!

There were the various State Guards,State Military Reserves and State Defense Corps that were formed when the National Guard was Federalized in 1940. For example in California ,Georgia and Kansas.

I know that we Koreans appreciate the US's presence...

Well that in addition to this statement implies something else. But whatever. The subject is WWII not 2003.

And look what happened to us!

A comparison of what? Two different eras and two completely different subjects. You are trying to compare the German conquests with US Influence and military bases over 60 years later. Quite a few countries allow the US to be there and actually want us there. Your comment about Iraq and the pic were an attempt to make it look like the US is at least if not more aggressive then Germany.

The US going into Iraq "for the protection of the world/USA" is far more close to reality than claiming somehow Hitler's Germany was going into Poland or Russia for "the protection of the Third Reich/Germany." That later statement is absolutely delusional! Germany demands...note that...demands Poland give up soverign territory. Hitler abrogates a non-aggression treaty with Poland unilaterally and then tells Britain that Poland has 24 hours to comply with Germany's demands or else. Hitler's minions in the SS stage a phoney (and since well documented) incident as an excuse to declare war on Poland.
And Russia? Germany abrogates a non-aggression treaty and invades.

And, how do you compare US behavior in foreign nations where their military has been or is with Nazi German behavior? Name a nation where the US as policy committed genocide? Or, one where forced deportation and depopulation of the locals was policy?

With Iraq there are at least a baker's dozen of UN resolutions Saddam was in gross violation of. Saddam was regularly engaging US (and other UN mandate) military forces in hostile acts and military actions in their enforcement of the UN no-fly zones that were part of the peace agreement following Saddam's defeat after he unilaterally invaded Kuwait among other actions that gave reasons for military action.
How about Saddam's use of camoflauged ships (I have nice photos of a tug with barge minelayer that was engaged in this activity) to mine the Persian Gulf in violation of long standing international agreements on use of the sea?
If anything, Saddam and Iraq more closely parallel Hitler's Germany in actions than the US ever did. Maybe putting a quick end to him and his regime was a good thing rather than allowing him to continue in power through the use of diplomacy and appeasement as the European nations did with Hitler.

There is not even the slightest thing in common between USA and Nazi era Germany.

This debate is totaly insane.
