Once Japanese started attacking the Reich and vice versa you'd see both sides siding with their overlords to some degree

huh?

I second that.

I mean when both nations start warring and taking losses youd start to see the native populaces of the Pacific States and American Reich start siding with their leaders to some degree. As soon as one side attacked the other those not in resistance movements would cooperate more and feel they need to be loyal to their overlord so their side wins and they and their families survive.

I think you must have seen a different show to me, they didn't talk about nuking it in the series I watched. They were going to send in troops to execute everyone.

They were talking about the population in Savannah. they were going to nuke it

[–] RugGuy 8 years ago

The never says nuke. I believe raze was the word used.

[–] TriggerPullerUSMC 8 years ago

+1 yep never said nuke- basically the same type of reprisals the Nippons used in SF against the insurgents albeit uch larger scale.

[–] JDoe18 8 years ago

They said burn it. Also they wouldnt mention the entire population if they werent going to destroy it.

[–] smithjgs 8 years ago

cities were burned and razed long before nukes.

If I were you, I'd wanna be me too. 

I suspect "raze" is just code for nuking it. In any case, they were clearly talking about a massive, indiscriminate reprisal for the Resistance activities going on and Smith was not on board. That was an interesting development of his character I thought; he may be a Nazi but some part of him is still an American, and he can't get behind the wholesale slaughter of an American city.

The Nazi razed entire towns an cities with out nukes during WWII

[–] collinemorris 8 years ago

Yes, never used "nuke". Raze or something, burn it down. Something to that effect, but not nuke.

[–] VistaXP 8 years ago

They were not talking about nuking it. They were going to raze it. Go in and wipe it out.

[–] JDoe18 8 years ago

nuke it or raze it, it is the same thing.. They will be destroying it.

[–] NotASpeckOfCereal 8 years ago

Nuke, raze, burn ... whatever. The point is that those ruling members that have a screw loose, the ones that are written for us to not like, are often going to make decisions that we don't like. It also makes us like Smith better when he decides to later countermand the order.

Brevity is the soul of wit.
