The history of the 20th century was vastly altered, and now we have equipped our armies with power armor and constructed a fleet of starships which can take us to the home world of the aliens. A hundred years have passed since the initial invasion, and political will is waning for a counter invasion. Maybe we should just let sleeping dogs lie.
