Or the North Koreans in the remake.

A bunch of high school kids are trained by recently returned vet not much older than they and become a corps of wickedly effective guerrillas in about, oh, a few weeks — tops. And with the help of two Marines who have flown a flipping helicopter close to the occupied territory, manage to steal a top secret communications device and flee in a station wagon.

Totally believable.

The original Red Dawn was supposed effectively a love song to the Afghans fighting the Soviets during the 80s. The new film could have been the script of any Call of Duty game.
