The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I saw an interview on the network that shall not be named, with a retired general where that question came up. His answer was based on his knowledge of the history of European invasions and his own experiences planning and conducting operations.

I found this article to prepare this post and it provides even more detail than the good general had time for during his fake interview with Fox News.... It's an interesting read.
