With the war tech. we have right now they wouldn"t stand a chance .
The military has bombs that break apart and scatter molten copper over large areas , not to mention the M1A1,s Apaches ,Hughes, air Support Machine guns ,Naval artillery , and land Artilery that can hit within 3 yards of its target As much as i love Tolkiens world America would win (I am Not Patriotic )

I thought The US banned chemical warfare in the US ?
But Flamethrowers are still availible since theyd be new to Middle Earth
They wouldnt know where to hit and the flames would stop most orcs/men /or elves
read the earlier arguments and you might change your mind. Millions/Billions of orcs, dude.

if the invasion comes by sea america would win by land would be difficult but if america could last several years theyd figure out how to kill morgoth, sauron , the dragons ect but with heavy losses
and to compare it as all in the history of middle earth really isnt that fair lol

and the US air force would be able to counter dragons as there arent as many dragons as supersonic jets availible and ainti aircraft. snipers bould be able to kill trolls at longe range if they shotem in the eye/ throat /mouth ,and automatic weaopons like the M2 browning ,M60, and M16 would do well against the hoards of orcs

Even with all of our technology, the sheer weight of numbers, and the psychological powers of Sauron and the Istari... Even Feanor. Every single Orc, Elf, and Man... Dragons, Balrogs...
I wonder how long it would take for them to use their magic on, and assimilate our weaponry/technology.

I still think Air support would play a major part since most of their weapons would be utterly ineffective

No they wouldnt, as Ancalagon crushed a mountain bigger than Mount Everest when he died =-p He could take a missile if it took Earendil, and sword made in AMAN,(therefore one of a maiar or elf, obviously enchanted) and a guy that corrupted a planet before it was created, I think USA would lose, dude, not even a W1200, Dragunov, M4, or anything except a Barett 50 cal. could take out a troll, or a tank round. Armor piercing, maybe, but nothing else as far as I can think. Especially with how thick their armor is.

well i do agree that several units would be a challenge , but about trolls their skin isnt as thick as your saying , yes their armor is strong but its not everywhere .the fellowship was able to kill a cave troll with arrows and swords so a high velocity sniper round in the right place should kill them rather easily .
and yes Ancalagon would probably be a winning factor but army on army with no gods/ demigods US would win include those and Middle earth would win .

Morgoth...I'm not so sure. He's the real threat here.

Morgoth is a shitty god. We take him with just one gun.

Where did you hear that? TELL ME NOW!!!!! And guys, dragons are REALYL BIG, BREATHE FIRE, and are uber...... And it was Legolas, with a Mirkwood bow, point blank range, and in the mouth, that he shot the troll. Oh, and in Moria there was no troll that stabbed Frodo

Multiple sources , search the web and youll get around 10 links we're pretty damn close but not yet there there are several versions one has been featured in "Get Smart's Bruce and Loyd out of control"its real but not as real as they depict it as . It deflects light at certain angles and isnt see through from the inside out . but USA is working on meta materiel thats bends it through magnetic waves, raido waves ect. (im most likely wrong throughout that post but its what i know maybe not whats true )

Shit, I hadn't realized that. Mounties solo in that case. Have you seen their tasers? It only took four of them to take down an unarmed Polish immigrant. Those dragons don't stand a chance.
