An invasion is a military offensive consisting of all, or large parts of the armed forces of one geopolitical entity aggressively entering territory controlled by another such entity, generally with the objective of either conquering, liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory, forcing the partition of a country, altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government, or a combination thereof. An invasion can be the cause of a war, be a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in itself. Due to the large scale of the operations associated with invasions, they are usually strategic in planning and execution.
The term invasion usually denotes a strategic endeavor of substantial magnitude; because the goals of an invasion are usually large-scale and long-term, a sizeable force is needed to hold territory, and protect the interests of the invading entity. Smaller-scale, tactical cross-border actions, such as skirmishes, sorties, raids, infiltrations or guerrilla warfare, are not generally considered invasions. A military endeavor to take back territory that is tenuously held by an initial invader during the course of war is instead generally called a counter-offensive.
Show them only
Flesh you needed
You want it for you too
Stares, stares that follow
Stares, stares that follow
They want it for you
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Sacrificial, made for TV
Laughter's comin'
And goodbye kisses
Gave him family
Pray your dream
Pray you're dreaming
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Are you all that
You're cracked up to be
We all want it for you
Stares that follow
Friends to call on
Don't be desperate
Show them once
Sacrificial, made for TV
Laughter's comin'
Goodbye kisses
Pray you stutter
Pray it's not old
