Guns against a modern army with tanks and drones? Oh please do. A simple and efficient way of issuing a goodly number of Darwin wards simultaneously. I hope it's televised.

I hate to break it to you, but a sufficiently committed guerrilla force with a shitton of expendable members willing to kill themselves for what they consider the greater good
has an alarmingly good track record against even the biggest and most modern armies.
For more information, see literally everything the US army has done overseas in the past 70 years with the exception of the first Gulf War.

Both were a case of Geography and the fact both groups receiving foreign help. Also, suggest you look up the casualty list between the two forces it's pretty stark.No military has ever been stopped because the populous was armed. So that myth can be put to rest.

The issue is deeper than just having an armed populace or even having crucial foreign allies. Algeria had no allies that I can find when they fought for their independence. The FLN’s casualties far outweighed the French casualties. And yet Algeria managed to win the war and their independence.
Ho Chi Minh said “You will kill ten of us, we will kill one of you, but in the end, you will tire of it first.” And that’s basically how the North Vietnamese won, it’s how the FLN won, and it’s how the Taliban wound up winning. They will die in droves, but they will win in the long run because, to put it bluntly, they don’t know when to fucking quit. And it’s not in their best interest to know. Funny thing, Three Arrows just released a video on how the most modern armies can still be outmaneuvered by people in developing nations:
It’s a shame he doesn’t talk about Algeria, since it’s such a firm object lesson in how this works, but then again, France learned its lesson but America has not.

Yeah now ask how many American weekend warriors are willing to die by the thousands. Also, Algeria didn't have allies but France wasn't allowed to go all out, and again Viet Nam had huge amounts of Soviet and Chinese help and the Americans were handicapped by public opinion also again I bring up geography.

If you want to understand the problem the us military would face with a us insurgency, don't look to our foreign wars - look to our jan 6 nutbars and their relaxed prosecutions. Imagine how much less appetite there will be for killing cletus as opposed to kamal.
The weekend warriors don't want to fight, they want to use their guns. They're talking about genocide and ethnic cleansing, not war.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world.

I have a bloodline that can attest to killings of Cletuses.
