err, you forgot the option "what a stupid pole".

Which it obviously is, Iceland could beat Rome in a war considering modern day technology.

And if you mean in a past sense, then no because there was no one about except a few Indians when the Romans were dominating.

A single F-16 would be more than sufficient.

Past tense there was no United States of America. There were the Americas, but no USA.

Sorry for double post, but no. It would need more ammo.

You said that a SINGLE jet could do it, but a single jet doesn't have enough ammo or fuel.

Well, by "A single F-16 would be more than sufficient." I'd assume that you'd mean only an F-16 and nothing else ie no support to refuel.

no, you set the parameters of the fight. I wasn't changing the context.

it is the entirety of the American army. In that context, a single F-16 could probably destroy all standing armies in the world at that time period.

I don't see the point of this thread?

A single F-16 would be more than sufficent. Those were my words. In the context of the fight, deploying a single F-16 would be sufficent for the American military to win. Nowhere am I saying that it wouldn't have to refuel or reload, in fact, it is implicit in the context of the thread you made.

also

America has 12 operational aircraft carriers. They are nuclear powered.

America has nuclear subs, nuclear powered and armed.

that alone wipes the entirety of the roman empire off the map.

Two well equiped divisions of the military would be able to capture and hold Rome within a few hours.

Or three tanks.

Or one nuke.

Or a dozen huge bombs.

Really dropping a single large bomb would probably end the war if we assume the Romans aren't total morons.

Well, it did take two with the Japanese empire before they got the hint. Oh no I didn't.

This is what a rome fanboy said:

1. The M1A1 Abram tanks will find themselves blocked, yes, blocked by the roman limes. Caesar's ditches will slow the american advance to a hault.

2. Then , by deploying his hipaspides closer to the blocked tanks, Caesar can start taking them out one by one, using tar and greek-fire.

3. Further use of flaming arows against the 101 Airborne Division marines will prove itself of greater importance on a flat terrain, where the marines will find virtually no cover, ending up beeing pinned down by a halle of arrows.

4. To counter the enemy's mortar and heavy artilery, Caesar would sent his Heavy Cavarly upon them, slashing their crews in an instant.

5. Apache helicopters watching the area will find it dificult to take out their targets, due to the fact that the battle is already engaged by romans and the americans soldiers are virtually fighting close combat, in wich the legionaries will prevail, sooner or later.


6. With the machinegun bunkers of the American Army, Caesar can only sit back and enjoy the show as his balistae and catapults blast the entranchments apart.

7. The American Comander is taken prisoner by cavalrymen, running into HQ.

8. At precisely 3 P.M , an agreement is reached by all sides.

9. 3.30 P.M an all American surrender.

10. General Staff and GI's are taken as slaves.

sad

A helicopter gunship turned loose on an ancient Roman army (what a great movie scene that would be) would be like shooting fish in the proverbial barrel.

Btw, anyone ever see The Final Countdown?

Or a well placed Daisy Cutter would wipe out a Roman legion.

He's also a complete imbecile, his scenario counts on the U.S. fighting a war that Caesar wants/picks, he doesn't factor in that since WWI, every single General in the world fully knows that air superiority is decisive for a win.

Having said that, one bomber could cripple anything Rome had, let alone the "Roman limes(sic)" stopping M1A1 Abrams, U.S. soldiers just fighting in close combat for the hell of it and Roman calvary going up against U.S. heavy artillery and winning, which was a special treat of moronicness.

In WWII Poland sent it's heavy calvary against the German tanks, I think everyones knows that outcome.
