Despite the initial civilian casualties, the National Guard and US Army responders eventually arrives to repel the invaders on the bloodied streets of downtown Dallas and emerge victorious. Months later, President John F. Kennedy launches a military force to secure the other side of the Gate in the hopes of bringing justice to the people responsible for the unprovoked attack on his nation, as well as spread the good word of human rights and American freedom to a barbaric new world spared from the political uncertainty of the Cold War. Meanwhile on Earth, JFK has his hands full in placating the will of the world's, especially that of the Soviet Union's interests in the Gate, while managing the ongoing Civil Rights Movement and his political detractors back on the home front; all important factors which will determine the success of his upcoming 1964 re-election campaign.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Dennis Orville of the US Army, 75th Ranger Regiment finds himself on the forefront of a new world, leaving behind his troubled past and jumps straight into the horrors of warfare, unchanged by time and technology. Will he find glory in participating in the war between worlds, or is there only emotional pain and torment waiting for him by the end? And can a lonely, tortured soul inside the former queen of the Warrior Rabbit Tribe finally find peace with a kindred spirit from another world, or will she blindly continue on the self-destructive path of destroying the empire that enslaved her people? | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Two senators speak frankly to President Kennedy about denying the integration and the proposed rights that would be allowed to demi-humans coming from the other side of the Gate. The implications of their attitudes while the Civil Rights Movement is in full-swing the background makes their views very palatable. General Tiberius' troops resort to ambush tactics and setting booby traps in forested, mountainous areas of the Special Region, slowing down the American advance. In return, the American military starts a defoliation campaign involving copious amounts of a certain orange-coloured pesticide, with additional napalm on standby. | |

A Father to His Men: Capt. Rhodes, who is strict and a no-nonsense officer, yet he deeply cares for his Rangers and eventually the Green Berets attached to his unit. He is the first to notice Dennis beginning to crack from the pressures of war and constantly offers a listening ear and emotional assurance whenever possible. He even offers his full support to Dennis regarding his intentions of marrying Tyuule. | |

Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_28b2f93a | comment |
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Like most adaptations of Gate, the Earth governments of The '60s are just as disgusted and horrified by the abundance of slavery being practised in the Saderean Empire. The Kennedy administration milks this trope for all it can to garner domestic and international support for the war in the Special Region. It also doesn't hurt that his presidential ratings are going though the roof as well, given the upcoming election. | |

Allohistorical Allusion | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_2a035a26 | comment |
Allohistorical Allusion: During the Gate incident at Texas, The Sharpshooter (a.k.a Lee Harvey Oswald) manages to accurately hit a moving legionary at long range, then internally complements himself for scoring such a difficult target. Investigations into the JFK assassination have attempted on multiple times to recreate the exact shot Oswald took under the same conditions that occurred that day; none are successful to date. Conspiracies aside, most investigators can agree that the shot was quite literally one-in-a-million, considering Oswald's mediocre sharpshooting record. The 7th Air Calvary's actions at Italia mirrors that of their real-life baptism of fire at the Battle of Ia Drang Valley where helicopters ferried supplies/reinforcements to troops in a position surrounded by enemies outnumbering them by the thousands. In both cases, it proves the usefulness of new helicopter tactics that will come to redefine the battles ahead. The Remnant of Imperial forces under General Tiberius take to the forests and mountains where they would mount a guerrilla resistance against the Americans. Like the Vietcong and pretty much any paramilitary forces in history, they resorted to low-risk, high-reward tactics designed to bog down a superior enemy in the hopes that the invaders will grow tired and eventually give up due to the costly nature of such a conflict. To make the parallels to the VC even clearer, one of their mentioned tactics involve digging pitfalls laced with poisoned wooden spikes and other crude forms of wooden booby traps made with simple materials. Tiberius' last suicidal all-out-attack on multiple US positions in Chapter 9 has similarities to the Tet Offensive; both North Vietnam and the Empire's attempt at one major push into key US-held positions in a surprise attack that eventually fails to gain any success. note While technically a military defeat for the combined forces of the NVA and the VC, the US public's support for the war began declining heavily afterwards which eventually became a Pyrrhic Victory for the US-South collation in the long run McNamara reads out a scathing report addressed to the Army Ordinance Department about the abysmal performance of the M14 battle rifle in Sadera; namely its heavy weight and inaccurate fire at close range due to the immense recoil. In-real life, the early production M16s were more well-known to have this level of notoriety amongst American troops due to severe reliability problems as well as some level of internal political sabotage behind the scenes regarding its adoption. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: If you can believe it, Lee Harvey Oswald gets one in-universe. While he still had every intention of assassinating JFK on November 22, the Gate opening up at Dealy Plaza throws a huge wrench in his plans. He instead uses the infamous Carcano rifle to protect any innocent civilians from being mowed down by the legionnaires and later shoots the 'imperialist' general with the same revolver he would have used on Patrolman J. D. Tippit. He gets killed by the surviving legionnaires, but his heroic actions inadvertently saves any and all American civilians from being kidnapped as slaves. | |

Desperation Attack: Tired of the constant defeats, General Tiberuis decides to initiate a suicidal all-out-assault on the line of American positions in the hopes of some kind of breakthrough to exploit. While this does result in the first American deaths along with scores of casualties, it ultimately fails to put a significant dent in the American line. | |

Annoying Arrows: Initially there have been no American fatalities from Saderean archers or other ranged weaponry; it is mentioned that several dozen servicemen have however been seriously wounded by arrow fire in later chapters. This changes by Chapter 9, where at least 20 servicemen are killed from arrows and catapult fire during a fierce assault by Tiberius. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: For real-life events, John F. Kennedy since the Gate opening at Dallas prevents him from being assassinated by Oswald, who in turn gets killed during the Empire's onslaught. While King Dulan of Elbe never gets killed in any adaptations of Gate, he is spared a painful defeat and losing An Arm and a Leg when he and his vassal army abandons the rest of the Allied Armies during their futile attempts at charging Anlus Hill. Tuka's father survives the Flame Dragon's onslaught at the elven village, as the Force Recon Marines who managed to stay one night there managed to drive the dragon away saving more lives than in canon. This implicitly spares Tuka the PTSD from losing her father, and are both seen happily sitting together during President Kennedy's inspection of magic-sensitive individuals. The Thierry noble family were evacuated right before the US Air Force's first strike on the Imperial capital, thus saving Sherry the trauma of losing her parents to the future threat of Zorzal's Oprichnina from canon. | |

Rock Beats Laser: Downplayed when Imperial catapults manage to disable several M48 Patton tanks, but not permanently and with unharmed crews. Subverted during the Siege of Italica, the brigands manage to magically enchant ballista arrows tipped with highly flammable materials which explode on impact, creating a primitive version of a high explosive artillery shell which wounds several American servicemen and breaches the walls. | |

Combined with other deepening factors such as losing his mother shortly before his deployment, he has become more emotionally closed off to those around him, a noticeable Thousand-Yard Stare and afraid to share his personal problems, that is until he meets Tyuule. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: The Haryo Tribe only serves their own interests in ruling Sadera from the shadows. They first appear to be working with Tyuule and subsequently the Americans once the war shifts in their favour. After the death of Emperor Molt, they try to kill off several Americans in an attempt to re-ignite the conflict on their terms. When that doesn't work, Bouro then reveals Tyuule's duplicity to Zorzal in a contrived plot just to humiliate her. | |

Entertainingly Wrong | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_81c4faa3 | comment |
Entertainingly Wrong: Before the US incursion into the Gate, two (disposable) low-ranking officers of the Imperial army were sent to recon the American side, only to be met with a giant steel door blocking the exit. They somehow come to the conclusion that their foe is somehow afraid of them, despite the fact that, 1) a technological superior army managed to rout an entire invasion force five months earlier, 2) managed to fully seal a Gate with heavy, strong materials in the same amount of time that the Imperials could erect a shoddy wooden and stone barricade around their side, 3) they still don't know jack about their enemies true strength. Similarly, Emperor Molt, crown prince Zorzal and the war hawks of the Imperial Senate come to the conclusion that the US forces' halt at Italica is a sign of weakness; they must have overstretched themselves and are licking their wounds. They also completely disregard Pina's account of the overnight battle in which the Americans managed to blow away a force of ten thousand by killing over two thousand brigands in one night, and NO DEATHS for the American troops. Not to mention the real reason the US halted: they are just waiting to finish building their airfield runways and bring in the Air Force jets to effortlessly bomb the Imperial capital to kingdom come, had Pina not negotiated for time to convince her leaders of their folly. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: Discussed in-universe by the soldiers and the American civilians on Earth. While not at all uncommon in the Special Region, the American politicians relentlessly debate of the biological, moral implications of allowing a union between Earth humans and the multitude of Half-Human Hybrids discovered in the Special Region, all while the Civil Rights Movement still rages in the background. | |

Military Brat | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_91df3195 | comment |
Military Brat: Dennis Orville's family has served in several American wars. His great, great grandfather fought for the Union during the Civil War, his grandfather landed on the beaches of Normandy when Dennis was 3 years-old and lastly his father who landed on the Incheon coast with General MacArthur in the Korean War. All of them serve as an inspiration for him to continue the paternal military tradition. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: Emperor Molt starts off overconfident in defeating the Americans despite numerous reports of setbacks; if only to retain some semblance of control in front of his people. After the US raid on the capital, he completely loses it in the following senate meeting by announcing his intention to speed up the scorched earth campaign and secretly drafts plans to crush all opposition in the Senate by killing off the detractors. Bouro and the Haryo Tribe's plans to retain control of the Saderean Empire from the shadows starts to fall apart once the power balance shifts rapidly to the Americans. They try increasingly desperate plans to sabotage the US war effort that only serves to arouse more suspicion from the Americans; not that they were ever trusted in the first place. | |

Badass Bystander: During the Empire's invasion of Dallas, several gun-toting Texans side with the local police department in resisting the Saderean army until the National Guard arrives. Lee Harvey Oswald also proves to be the wrong man in the right place by using the weapons intended on assassinating the president instead to defend the American people. He snipes legionary soldiers left-and-right before singlehandedly saving a group of captured American civilians who were in danger of being transported through the Gate for enslavement, but at the cost of his own life. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: A fair amount of debate is brought up amongst Earth's denizens regarding the demi-human population of the Special Region. Opinions ranging from, "kind of human" to "the spawn of devil worship" is shared by civilians back home, but from the perspective of the soldiers and scientists who've actually interacted with said demi-humans unanimously agree on them being people worthy of rights and protection like any fellow American citizen. | |

Language Barrier | |

Language Barrier: Played more realistically than canon, where every named JSDF soldier seemingly has a decent grasp of the Saderean language for plot convenience sake. Despite the similarity of the language to Earth's Latin/Italian, most Americans are unable to learn the language within the six months from the Gate's opening and in many situations still heavily depend on their few soldiers who has a decent grasp of the language to act as translators. | |

General Ripper: Tiberius, who continues to lead The Remnant of the Imperial armies on a guerrilla campaign against the Americans. While much more competent and efficient than the other generals who have failed, the gruelling months of fighting and losses without doing much significant damage to the invaders have taken its toll on the old veteran, reducing him to a stubborn, vengeful spirt who refuses to stand down even under the combined pleas of Pina and Diabo. | |

Alternate History | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: Due to the sudden appearance of the Gate on Earth, the United States of America of The '60s is clearly headed in a different direction from our timeline: JFK was never assassinated due to Air Force One still being in the air as the Gate opens in Dallas, Texas; his would-be assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, who was patiently waiting for the president's arrival at the book depository was killed during the Empire's invasion. The escalating Vietnam situation is handled slightly differently to our timeline. While still having to deal with the fallout of Eisenhower and Nixon's backdoor interference in the South Vietnamese elections as well as their cold relationship with the Soviet Union, the Gate incident has JFK redirecting most of America's armed forces to Sadera instead of Vietnam, where they only aim to maintain their pool of advisors instead of going ahead with massive troop build-ups. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While Zorzal is mostly portrayed as grossly incompetent, easily manipulated and hilariously out-of-touch with the affairs of the ongoing war, he is not with moments of genuine cunning and observational skill. He can easily sense shifts in people's behaviours, displays inhuman strength and has at least some skill at being a statesman, if the actual support he has from some members of the Imperial Senate is any indication. | |

Red Scare: Even a decade after the rise and fall of McCarthyism, the animosity against any suspected communist sympathies is still very much prevalent in the Americans attitudes and views. Dennis himself is staunchly anti-communist and does not hesitate to express this view to others. It is played for laughs when Dennis decides to teach a young Charlotte how to say anti-communist rhetoric like "Communists bad" or "Better Dead than Red", to the bemusement of the other Rangers. | |

All for Nothing | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: Princess Pina tries her damn best throughout the story to preserve the lives of her people and the royal family by pleading to the Americans in giving her time to convince the Empire to cease hostilities against the US Military. Despite all her efforts, her father is assassinated by Zorzal, thousands of brave Saderean soldiers die in pointless battles thanks to stubborn holdouts commanded by the likes of General Tiberius and most of the kingdom's now-lawless countryside is razed to the ground by deserters and brigands. General Tiberius' efforts to maintain the Empire's honour through resisting the Americans ultimately ends with his paltry force of survivors surrendering to the Americans anyway once it is made clear that against guns, napalm and otherworldly forms of "dishonourable" warfare, victory is nothing but a pipe dream. As Pina exasperatedly pointed out, thousands of soldiers lives could have been spared had he actually listened to Pina and Diabo's pleas to stop their useless resistance. Tiberius could only silently agree. | |

I Shall Taunt You: Because of the rules of engagement, the Force Recon Marines are unable to directly engage hidden enemy scouts (pointed out by Rory) at the edge of a forest they were overlooking. As an excuse to test and observe Rory's skills, they resort to a good ol' fashioned tirade of insults over loudspeakers, which results in an angry retaliation barrage of arrows from the Imperials. This gives the Marines every excuse to let Rory loose upon them, with bloody results. | |

Broken Bird | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Tyuule suddenly finds it harder to maintain the façade of being the vengeful, Broken Bird she believes herself to be as she slowly warms up to Dennis in their subsequent interactions. She also becomes much more conscious about her modesty and generally acts more flustered around the American, similar to her relationship around Furuta in some official adaptations of Gate. | |

Break Out the Museum Piece | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_d40e1a9f | comment |
Break Out the Museum Piece: Averted in terms of the level of tech the Americans bring into the Special Region. Due to being on the cusp of entering the Vietnam War and defence budget still running high, the US Military brings the latest equipment and firearms through Anlus, such as the M48 Patton tanks, F105 and F4 Phantom jet aircraft. While the M14 battle rifle is still the standard-issue rifle for most of the Army and Marines, the newly minted M16s are also brought in to supplement the small arms carried by regular infantry. Hastings is issued a scoped M1903A4 Springfield bolt-action rifle which is said to have both world wars on its belt note While the original M1903 Springfield model has seen service in both World War I and II, the updated M1903A4 model along with the scope was developed right before World War II. Sean constantly ribs on his weapon, often calling it the "grandpa rifle". | |

Salt the Earth | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_d4fc9734 | comment |
Salt the Earth: Emperor Molt orders a scored earth policy that is much more immediate and horrifying that most other adaptations of Gate in response to the American's quick advance into Saderean territory. Alongside re-arming deserting brigands to Rape, Pillage, and Burn every settlement between the Capital City and Anlus Hill, he also plans on retreating from his palace by helping to burn his entire capital to the ground, just to deny the Americans any sort of stable foothold, his countrymen's lives be damned. Bonus points for even mentioning the actual involvement of salt to render their nearby farmlands barren. This convinces the Imperial Senate as well as crown prince Zorzal that his father has completely lost it. With a little push from Tyuule, he ultimately resorts to having his father poisoned so he can usurp the throne and reverse the policy, while continuing the war conventionally. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Tired of their stubbornness to even attempt negotiations as well as their utter stupidity, King Duran and his vassal army from Elbe just gets up and leave the rest of the vassal lords to their well-deserved doom at Anlus Hill. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_d9ffec82 | comment |
Curbstomp Battle: The best legions of the Saderean Empire are still no match for a Vietnam War-era US Armed Forces at Anlus Hill. The US Force Recon Marines' battle against Gisselle's twin Flame Dragons ends in mere minutes thanks to judicial use of recoilless rifles and pre-called artillery. Even her third wild card dragon doesn't hold up to two F4 Phantoms with air-to-air missiles. | |

Worst Aid | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_de306ba6 | comment |
Worst Aid: Averted thankfully. A wounded Bozes tries to instruct her comrades to pull an arrow out of her punctured neck. The nearby American Colonel quickly shouts back at them to NOT do that. They also wait for a lull in the fighting to carefully evacuate her to the nearby aid station. | |

Morality Pet | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_e3b0cd87 | comment |
Morality Pet: Both Dennis and Tyuule find emotional comfort in one another in the events after the assassination of Emperor Molt. Tyuule suddenly finds it harder to maintain the façade of being the vengeful, Broken Bird she believes herself to be as she slowly warms up to Dennis in their subsequent interactions. She also becomes much more conscious about her modesty and generally acts more flustered around the American, similar to her relationship around Furuta in some official adaptations of Gate. Dennis becomes less cold and begins opening up more to others, especially after agreeing to give Tyuule English lessons in-between missions. His squadmates actually encourage him to continue pursuing her, if only if it gives Dennis a peace of mind of looking forward to something in the future. For the Army Rangers stationed at the Red Light District, Charlotte, the slave dog-girl Dennis frees in the aftermath of the surgical strike of the Capital becomes one for them as they begin to empathize more with the plight of the downtrodden civilians living in the Empire's slums. | |

Cast From Stamina | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_f020c621 | comment |
Cast from Stamina: The poor belligerent mage on the brigands side during in the Siege of Italica is strained past the point of utter magical exhaustion from enchanting wave after wave of fire arrows for an entire evening all on his own. After being coerced into extending his powers beyond his limit to create a wave of high explosive ballistae, the brigand commander turns around to see the poor mage lying dead, apparently having Cast From Hitpoints for his final spell. | |

War Is Hell | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Dennis' neighbour tries to convince him of this trope to dissuade him from diving headfirst into a war that Dennis might come to regret taking part in. Dennis, just having lost his mother; his last parent, fresh out of military training and no one else to come home to, the argument falls on deaf ears. | |

The Remnant | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_f9c17447 | comment |
The Remnant of Imperial forces under General Tiberius take to the forests and mountains where they would mount a guerrilla resistance against the Americans. Like the Vietcong and pretty much any paramilitary forces in history, they resorted to low-risk, high-reward tactics designed to bog down a superior enemy in the hopes that the invaders will grow tired and eventually give up due to the costly nature of such a conflict. To make the parallels to the VC even clearer, one of their mentioned tactics involve digging pitfalls laced with poisoned wooden spikes and other crude forms of wooden booby traps made with simple materials. | |

Running Gag: Dennis constantly cites the anti-miscegenation laws from his home state of Georgia whenever his comrades eagerly discuss the possibility of bring a Little Bit Beastly war bride back to the States. No one, not even Dennis himself takes those laws seriously. | |

Don't Make Me Destroy You | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_fd32c5a1 | comment |
Don't Make Me Destroy You: The Americans attempt peaceful negotiations with King Duran and the rest of the Allied Armies when they arrive at Anlus Hill. Despite airing several clear warnings over loudspeakers to not attack, the the increasing hostile warlords save for King Duran decide to charge over towards the Hill anyway. The US Army commander can only sigh in defeat as he calls in the first rounds of 155mm high explosives on top of the enemy. | |

Attack! Attack! Attack! | |
| The Fight we Chose (Fanfic) / int_ff070bbd | comment |
Attack! Attack! Attack!: The brigand army sieging Italica constantly harasses the defenders with human-wave tactics throughout the night. When the Southern Wall weakens, the commander orders an all-out attack through the breach numbering in the thousands. The Americans pour everything they have just to break the wave, comparing it to the fierce banzai charges of the Imperial Japanese and the horde attacks of the Chinese volunteers during The Korean War. | |
