Subject: How long could our military fight the covenant today.

honesty i would say about a week and a half. The unsc had a descent defense network both on ground and in space. we have no space defense. the covenant would take out our satelittes disconnecting us from each other. u can guess what happens next.

A week and a half? I doubt we'd last a whole day.

There wouldn't be much of a fight.

You're asking people to state which non-released game they like better?

It's like asking a virgin whether they like being on top or on bottom.

We'd be defeated before it began, but I would say we could put up a fight for about a week or a bit less without having to resort to guerrilla warfare and militia forces holing up for refuge.

Ultimately, we would be annihilated.

We would be glassed within the hour of invasion.

They wouldn't need to even do that. We would be glassed outright. Depending on the amount of cruisers they bring in, somewhere from a couple hours to maybe two days.

Also, this forum is more for discussion of the website and the Bungie Community (weird right?). This kind of topic doesn't fit here.

We would die.

It wouldn't be much of a fight, now would it? It'd be more of Humanity finding a corner to "fight" till they were killed. Or glassed.

As long as the Covenant didn't want Earth for resources, or anything along those lines, the whole situation would turn out similar to "The taming of the Hunters". I doubt the Covenant would even bother landing on Earth.. They'd just glass the whole planet via Orbital Bombardment.

At least 5 hours. We'd use our own nukes but lack the firepower in comparison with being glassed.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Not long at all. IO think it would take to long for the world to react to an alien attack. By the time any worthy force was mobilized the war would be over.
