I don't know about that. Take this hypothetical situation: If every single other country decided to ally together and invade the US using conventional warfare, I don't think our military could withstand that kind of assault, even given the benefit of defending home soil. Again, this hypothetical assumes no involvement by US citizenry (who obviously are quite well-armed). I think we'd lose, eventually through attrition. No matter how advanced our technology or how well-trained our soldiers are, the rest of the world has more than enough men, bullets, bombs and missiles.
